Step 2Gather your tools.

Gather your tools.
The tools for this next part are fairly simple.

Here's a list.
- an X-acto knife or knock-off equivalent
- a pair of highlighters, different colors
- a self-healing cutting mat (optional, I suppose)
- adhesive tape (Scotch tape)

You can get your X-acto knife (or equivalent) and the cutting mat at just about any decent craft store. The mat makes life so much better, as you've no worry about damaging anything beneath your paper while also gaining a surface to bear down on with just enough resistance.

My cutting mat is just a bit bigger than the tabloid-sized paper, 12" x 18". This allowed me to use Scotch tape on all four corners to secure the paper in place on the mat.

Planning Ahead:

Later, you're going to need ...
- some T-pins
- a small flour sifter (the one-handed kind)
- some confectioner's sugar
