Supplies Used: Construction Paper, Double-Sided Tape, Glue, String, Fishing Line, Stapler

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

1. Fold a piece of paper in half that is twice as long as the design to be cut (Figure A).
2. Place the folded edge of the paper just INSIDE the cutting edge on the top of the die (Figure B).
3. Place the die and paper, rubber side down, into the Ellison Machine and cut.
4. To CREATE HANGING SIGNS or decorations, cut a piece of string or fishing line as long as desired.
5. Fold the letters in half and hang them over the string.
6. Staple or use double-sided tape to adhere the letters together so they won't slip along the string (see Main Photo).
