12-inch Titanium Scrapbooking Paper Cutter
&
We only used regular typing paper for our topers, but construction paper or cardstock will make a sturdier bag topper. The other thing that helps to make a more “professional” look is a paper cutter to more easily cut straight lines.
It’s not something I use everyday but I’m always much happier with its results than when I try to cut perfectly straight lines with a pair of scissors!
If you do scrapbooking you probably already have a paper cutter, if not you can find one for under $20 here.
