(2-Sided Fold and Cut)

2. After you print the pattern, you can draw the pattern onto your paper, or you can also staple the pattern on the top of your paper. Follow the line and dashed line to cut out the pattern.

3. Put the pattern on the top of your paper. The dashed line must be aligned with the fold of your paper

4. Staple the pattern and folded paper together on the parts that you will cut and remove, so the pattern will not move away when you cut it.

* Always cut out the inside parts first, this will help keep your pattern stay where it is.
