Take the folded sheet of paper and line it up on top of one shoulder, folding the corners to make sure the shape is correct. Then take a pencil and draw a curved line that will be later be cut out to make the cold shoulder. Once you've drawn the shape on the paper, cut it out.

Place Paper & Cut Shoulders

Clip or pin the paper patterns onto each shoulder, then cut along the edge. Be sure to cut just inside of the pattern's edge, as you'll be later folding and gluing the fabric around the holes.
