  Step 1

  Start by tracing around the CO+K scissors logo on to paper, using a computer in the background as a lightbox (it's a nifty technique which works really well) and then cut this out as your template.

• 

  Step 2

  Use small dots of blu-tack to stick the template underneath a sheet of frosted plastic. You can find plastic sheets like this in stationery stores such as Paperchase.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut around the template, using a pair of heavy duty scissors.

• 

  Step 4

  Stick your plastic scissors underneath a new sheet of plastic and use this as the template to cut your second pair.

• 

  Step 5

  You should now have two pairs of plastic scissors.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut long strips of thick black card measuring 2" wide.

• 

  Step 7

  Bend the black card around the scissors, scoring along the folds.

• 

  Step 8

  Use a hot glue gun to stick the black card around the outside of the scissors. Don't worry if it looks messy, you can pick excess glue off when you're finished.

• 

  Step 9

  Continue around the outside until your finished and then stick card around the inside of the finger holes.

• 

  Step 10

  Cut a small rectangle out of the bottom of the scissors with a cutting knife.

• 

  Step 11

  Slip some fairy light inside the scissors and place on top of your tree!
