Instructions
-
Gather your supplies.
-
Using your Westcott CarboTitanium Narrow Body Trimmer cut the paper into one-inch strips (using five strips per ornament). Make two strips seven inches, two that are six inches, and one that is five inches.
-
Stack strips together and line up the top edges. Staple one-inch down to leave room for a hole-punched twine handle.
-
On the opposite end, line up all the different length strips so they meet. The ornament will then take shape. Secure with another staple.
-
Next, punch a hole in the top and cut the twine with your Westcott 8” Design Line Scissors. Last, tread the twine through the hole and hang for all to see!
