One can use paper clip to not overcut the strip and keep margins. For a detailed post about the fringing tutorial  refer to Inna's blog . She has explained the concept in depth and

This is my first ever blog and it’s all going to be about my journey as a paper crafter.  As a kid I was always amazed at the alluring art of turning paper into beautiful crafts.
