1. Use X-ACTO® Designer Series Gripster® Knife (with new blade) and 12" Metal Ruler on 12" x 12" Self Healing Cutting Mat to cut two 6" x 12" pieces (per candle holder) Elmer's® Foam Board. (Hint: Score lightly first and then press more firmly to cut deeper, with several passes of the knife. Replace blade often.)

2. Apply generous amount of X-TREME™ School Glue Stick to surface of one Foam Board piece and attach striped scrapbook paper, making sure stripes run the short way. Flip over Foam Board and similarly cover other side with same scrapbook paper. Repeat to cover both sides of other Foam Board with other scrapbook papers.
