Simple cards with cut-out boot designs and bows with a 3D effect.
You Will Need:
- ACTIVITY CARD (CARD)
- DECORATIVE PATTERNED PAPER/CARD (PAPER)
- FIBRE PAPER (YOU CAN JUST AS EASILY USE DECORATIVE PAPER/CARD INSTEAD)
- CREATIVE SCISSORS WITH A PINKING BLADE. (SCISSORS)
- A STANDARD PAPER SCISSORS (SCISSORS)
- BOOT TEMPLATE. Downoad template here
- DOUBLE SIDED CRAFT TAPE (TAPE)
- 3D FOAM PADS (FOAM)
- CRAFT GLUE (GLUE)
1. Draw the boot using the template and cut it out from the decorative paper/card. Cut out the heel and the toe in a different colour decorative paper.
2. Cut the back ground from fibre paper – cut it slightly smaller than the actual card.
Use pinking shears for cutting the fibre paper; it looks great.
TIP: Place a piece of paper behind the fibre paper before cutting; then it's much easier to use the pinking shears.
(You can just as easily use decorative paper/card instead)
3. Attach the fibre paper and the boot with double-sided adhesive tape and 3D foam pads.
4. Make a bow from a strip of decorative paper corresponding to the entire length of the paper (approx. 30cm) and approx. 1cm wide.
5. Attach a small piece of the strip around the bow to keep it together.
Glue with a small blob of glue on the back.
6. Attach the bow to the boot with 3D foam pads.
TIPS: if the design is attached upright, you may hang the card on a piece of string.
