Scissors have been around for thousands of years. Some of the earliest known versions were spring scissors, made from a single piece of metal with two blades that were squeezed together to cut. The familiar design with two crossed blades joined at a pivot appeared much later, but the basic idea has remained remarkably unchanged. From cutting cloth and thread to paper, ribbon and countless craft materials, scissors may be one of the oldest tools still found in almost every craft room today.
(Per Candy Cane)
1. Make a curl about 3" from the end of the chenille stem as in Fig C. Place a drop of glue on the knot.
2. Slide cartwheel beads onto stem one at a time, alternating with sets of 2 of the same color. Begin with 2 crystal beads, 2 red beads, etc. applying a drop of cement to the center of each of the first 14 beads (four sets of crystal and 3 sets of red).
3. Slide the remaining beads onto the chenille stem in sets of 2. Push all the beads together and fold the loose end of the chenille stem to hold the beads in placd - see Fig E. Shape the beads with glue for head of cane. wrapping the folded end of the chenille stem around cane to hold curved shape until glue dries.
