At first glance, it may seem to you that this is difficult, and sometimes impossible. I dare to reassure you, it is easy, exciting and interesting.
For creativity you will need:
- Double-sided tape with a diameter of 5 mm,
- Scrapbooking paper size 30 x 30,
- 20 x10 scrapbooking paper in a different color,
- Satin ribbon,
- Matches
- Pencil, ruler,
- Adhesive Pillows
- Decorative paper flowers,
- Self adhesive beads,
- Decor,
- Scissors.
Work description:
1. Take scrapbooking paper of size 30 x 30 and mark the required dimensions on the wrong side, as shown in Figure 2.
2. Cut the unnecessary edges to get a blank for the future envelope.
3. Bend the edges inward and stick double-sided tape on the front side.
4. Bend the bottom edge of the paper to the center and glue the side seams.
5. Bend the paper again to the center.
6. On an already formed envelope, draw a contour with a simple pencil in the outline of the future outer cover.
7. We take paper of a different color and draw the outline of the outer cover on it.
8. Turn the envelope upside down and glue the double-sided tape along the entire length.
9. On top of the adhesive tape, apply a satin ribbon and glue it.
10. The next step is gluing on top of a satin ribbon of paper of a different color, which was prepared as an outer cover.
11. We take decorative paper flowers and on the wrong side we glue sticky pillows-squares. We paste them in order to visually create a three-dimensional pattern.
12. Glue paper decorative flowers on the outer cover of the envelope around its perimeter.
13. Inside each such decorative flower we paste self-adhesive beads. We also paste them between the colors to create harmony and completeness of the picture. For decor, you can use brads, beads, chains or any other material that is at your fingertips. Do not be afraid to experiment.
14. To complete the work it is necessary to stick a line with a celebration or with the event for which this envelope was being prepared. Text can be beautifully printed on a computer, handwritten or cut from old postcards. Then your imagination knows no bounds. You can also use stencils or stick a whole word one letter at a time.
