10 Things You Can Do with: Fringe Scissors


Fringe scissors are a type of decorative edge scissor that have an added element of fun because they can cut into long pieces.  There are several brands out there but Martha Stewart has a pair that are most readily available.  This week we are featuring ideas on how to use these scissors in a new way!
1. Use them to decorate a gift
Practical Scrapper Ann Jobes used her fringe scissors to create this pompom from tissue paper to adorn this gift.

2. Create a weaved mat to use on a card or layout

8. Create grass
Once you have fringed, then trim it so it isn't all even just as Ann did here.

9. Create a decorative medallion
Ann created one by adhering her fringed strip to a chipboard piece

1O.  Cut your strips in both directions to create confetti just as Ann did.
