How to Use an Xacto Knife
Scoring - Carefully, slowly cutting into your paper 2-3 times until the blade of your knife has gone through completely.
Scoring results in clean, precise lines. If you don’t score, you’ll get jagged edges, and sometimes rip your paper.

Notan Design Project Guidelines:
1. Your design must be approved by me before you begin.
2. Your design must have a “practice run” on scrap paper before you work on the final.
3. Each student gets ONE final 6x6inch piece of colored construction paper.
4. Each design must have at least 20 pieces.
5. More complex designs will earn higher grades.
6. Neatness counts!
7. Anyone using the xacto knives in anyway I disapprove of will receive an F for the project, will not be allowed to make it up, and will report to the administration.
