Paper Snips (Scissors) Holder

Yesterday I went to my fabulous upline, Dania Welch's, holiday party.  Each of us received a brand new pair of paper snips from her.  We also made paper snips holders for them.  I just LOVE mine!!  It was so easy to make and no sewing involved. 



Paper Snips Holder

Supplies:
Petal Cone Bigz L Die (121810) $32.95
Blossom Party Originals Die (115971) $17.95
Essentials Designer Fabric (126892) $29.95
Brights Designer Buttons (119747) $8.95
Whisper White Baker's Twine (124262) $2.95
Old Olive 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon (124141) $7.95
Fabric Adhesive Roll (122194) $14.95 - mine uses a lightweight fusible batting (non-SU)
Hot Glue Gun
Big Shot

Instructions:
Fuse 2 pieces of fabric together .  This part I didn't do myself so I'm guessing a bit here.  I believe the fabric squares were about 8x10.  Run through the Big Shot with the Petal Cone die just cutting the big heart shape.  Make sure to conserve and leave enough fabric for flowers.  Run through Big Shot again twice to cut out 2 flowers with Blossom Party die.  Fold large heart shape in half making cone.  Wrap flap around to back and hot glue into place.  Having the new silicone pad to catch any stray glue is helpful here.  Fold down front flap and glue in place.  Glue flowers in place.  We swapped flowers to get more color variety.  Tie twine through button and glue.  You may also want to glue a piece of ribbon over the back seem.  I used Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon.  Dania had already added the ribbon to our paper snips and also a charm with our initials.  That's it!  You're done and "no-sew" easy!!
