Begin with this flat illustrated first frame. Keep the overhead camera and the left paper clip stationary. The two blades of the single pair of craft scissors close once around their existing pivot and cut the narrow orange paper strip at the visible blade contact. Keep the long clipped portion fixed. The short right paper tip separates only at that contact and drops a little into the clear space below. No extra scissors, hands, fragments, tearing across the whole strip or repeated cutting. End with the scissors closed and exactly two paper pieces visible, then hold.
