Let's mass-produce hand-cut paper gift tags for your Christmas presents. Using the scroll saw and what I call the sandwich method you can cut several sheets of paper at one time. In this case, we will use heavyweight cardstock or craft paper. You can cut somewhere between 10 and 20 tags at once.
In the example above I am showing the cut tag and a cut backer tag. The backer is optional but makes the tag much stiffer. It also can add some color.
In the following instructions, I am using regular copy paper. This is just for demonstration. Use a nice heavyweight craft paper.
We need two sheets of 1/8" thick Baltic birch plywood. You will cut several sheets of your cardstock to the same size as the boards.
