Place a piece of Chasing the Sun designer paper on the 13&#215;13 CCS Mat. Use the Green CCS Blade around the outside of the Medium CCS Circle Pattern and lift away the paper for a perfect circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Using the Multi-Purpose Tool for crisp creases, fold the circle in half four times until you have a small wedge shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Unfold the circle and cut a single slit along one of the fold lines from the outer edge to the center point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Refold the circle back into the wedge shape and use All-Purpose Scissors to cut a small curve or &#8220;divot&#8221; into the wide edge. Keep one of these paper scraps to use for the end of the skewer later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Fully unfold the circle. Apply adhesive with the Tape Runner to one of the sections and overlap it with the adjacent wedge to create a dimensional cone shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Trim a wooden skewer to about 4&#8243;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Take the small excess paper scrap from earlier, apply adhesive, and roll it around the top of the skewer to create the tip of the umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 8:<\/strong> Poke the skewer through the center point of the paper cone to create a small hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 9:<\/strong> Slide the skewer through the center of the paper, and you have your umbrellas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>And just like that, you\u2019re ready for the sun.<\/em><\/strong> These tiny umbrellas are a clean, simple way to use the Chasing the Sun paper for your next gathering.
