across the width.
|
| Use you ruler to mark the paper a each inch along the folded edge.

| Do the same along the open edge but the marks should be 1 inch from
the edge of the paper.

| With the paper still folded and starting at the fold cut along the
lines being careful to stop one inch from the open edge.

multiple colors be sure to alternate them for the most colorful
effect.

place.
