T I P:

You can make perfect banner tips with a square punch! Vertically mark the center of your strip about 3/8" from the end. Insert your strip of cardstock into the punch and angle it so the corner of the square is alligned with your center mark on your paper strip and punch yourself some beautiful banner tips!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
