Paper Easter Egg Stands Supplies: 
Here's how to make these little stands:
Step 1: Use a cut file like this one to cut out the wrap shape.  These do not require a lot of cardstock!
Step 2: Put the wrap through your embossing machine using the polka dot embossing folder.

Step 3: Remove the wrap and sand it down to bring out the core color
Technique Tip: Because this is a smaller piece of paper you will want to be gentle with your sand-it gadget or you can easily tear your cardstock.  I worked with a gentle touch and went both directions to ensure I sanded enough to bring out the core.

Step 4: Use the built in slit to connect the ends of your wrap.
Technique Tip:  Because Core cardstock is so thick it is easy to shape these into a rounded wrap without creating creases.
