13 inch "Shorty" plastic pads are necessary to use these dies. The shorter pads you received with your Sizzix machine will not work. The 13 inch plastic pads are sold separately here on our website or as an option up above.
It's that time of year when we start thinking about Christmas trees and it is with that in mind that we designed this fun die. The die has 3 different templates for cutting shaped beads. It is our intent to use these with wool and other fabrics, however you can also cut paper with this die and make delicate paper bead necklaces. Imagine a garland of beads made with a pretty wool and adorned with silver or gold beads. How pretty! Each shape is 6 inches long and the longest width is 1 inch. Roll these around a skewer and secure with a dot of glue, then seal with clear nail polish or polyeurethane to finish, then string as desired. The number of layers of wool that can comfortably be passed through a Big Shot will depend on the thickness/density of your wool and the amount of pressure required to crank the machine. We recommend starting with 1–2 layers and adding additional layers only if they pass through your machine comfortably.
**Dies and plastics that have been used cannot be returned or exchanged**
