The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

1. Die-cut two Ladders using different shades of construction paper.
2. When the Ladders are laid on top of each other and slightly shifted, a shadow effect is created that makes the Ladder look dimensional.
3. Die-cut the Tool Belt, 3-D using construction paper.
4. Die-cut multiples of the belt section to ensure it will fit a student’s waist.
5. Adhere the belt ends to each other for a longer belt.
6. Fold the pocket on the perforations, and staple the sides.
7. Slide the belt through the slits on the back of the pocket.
8. Fold the two loop holders on the perforations, and place adhesive on both ends of the two loops.
9. On one side of the pocket, tuck one end of a loop under the pocket, and press down to secure.
10. Make a loop and press down on the other end to secure the loop to the belt (Main Photo).
11. Do the same with the other loop on the other side of the pocket.
12. Die-cut Tools using various colors of construction paper.
13. Students can decorate the Tools and then place them in their very own Tool Belt.
