Spooky Scissor Practice

Scissor practice is a regular thing in our home. Everyone has their own special pair of scissors and I always look for ways to allow the girls to use their special pair. From craft projects to removing clothing tags, or even helping me open the mail. So these cuts were a little more tricky for them and I really like being able to give them a good challenge.

Double-sided Print: Print one (or all) of the designs like regular the first time around, using the correct settings for the paper you’re using. Then, flip the page around and insert it “face” down back into the printer.

Like magic you’ll have yourself the perfect, double-sided craft print for your kiddos to paint or color and then hang for the holiday!

Double Sided Matte Photo Paper

Canon’s Double Sided Matte Photo Paper is my absolute favorite white paper to print on. Not only does every print, color or black and white, come out looking professional but it’s terrific for coloring and painting on, which is ideal for crafting of all types.

Here my daughter used her kid watercolors on the paper and the paper absorbed the water wonderfully and the ink didn’t run one bit.
