Place Card Holder How-To

2. Cut a 1-inch fringe with fringe scissors, using the pencil line as a guide, along the entire length of the strip.

3. Using the tape roller, apply adhesive from the 4 1/2-inch mark to the end of the strip in the area that is not fringed. Coil the strip, creating a cylinder.
