Prepare the cone scales to make miniature tree cones.
Begin by punching out at least twenty circles from your brown paper using the paper punch. Place the circles on an eraser or mousepad and draw a line across them with the embossing tool or rounded toothpick. Press the embossing tool into the center of each circle to cup it gently into the shape of a cone scale. Set the shaped paper circles aside in a safe place where they will not blow away.
