interesting as these images are, i get a little annoyed when they use those dinky little paper-cutting scissors. nobody short of a body-builder would have strength enough to get it done. that's assuming the plastic handles don't break off first. lot of things would work way better; even a steak knife or paring knife could saw through. but if you had your heart set on scissors, go with garden shears(needs TWO hands so you can put arm strength into it, plus the handles are near a foot long & give lots of leverage).
