Paper Place’s Take-and-Make Instructions
1. 1. You will want to gather the following supplies--
a. Scissors
b. Adhesive (glue or tape runner)
c. Glue dots
d. 3D tape (optional)
e. Creamy Brown Cat’s Eye Ink pad, or similar pad that is light brown (optional)
2. 2. Trim both pieces of brown cardstock to 8” x 8”.
3. 3. Adhere patterned paper strips as shown in picture. If you have opted to use ink, remember to ink the edges before applying adhesive.
4. 4. Assemble die cuts as shown in close-up pictures. If you are opting to use ink, ink your die cuts before adhering them. Here is where you will use 3D tape if you would like your die cuts to be dimensional.
a. Apron – snip off blue apron strings and apply white strings on center of apron. For the top of the apron, don’t snip blue string, but adhere the white string over
it. Use two small snips of the scrap of brown cardstock to make the apple stem and leaf.
b. If you wish to have the “shading” of the soup bowl, use ink, or even a light brown marker to shade the bowl’s “swoosh” before attaching it.
5. 5. Buttons – you have received two buttons in your kit. One will be square, the other circle-shaped. They all have different patterns and yours may not match the close-up photos of the example. You will take the fabric strips that are in your kit and knot them through the holes of the buttons. This is where you will use glue dots to attach the buttons to the layout. If you have left-over fabric, you may choose to knot it and attach this knot to your layout as well.
6. You will find a white piece of cardstock in your kit. If you wish to use our recipes, you may do so and can cut each to 4 ¼ ” x 6”, one landscape and one portrait. If you choose to make this an album with a subject other than recipe, you can use the back of the cardstock and cut mats the sizes you need.
If you find you are missing any pieces of the kit, feel free to let us know. We can certainly drop them in the mail! We enjoyed your visit and hope you enjoyed making your album, gathering pieces along the Hop this year! At Paper Place, we have found our Recipe Album classes to be very popular and are asked to do more of them. This is where this idea came from, because we know many of you enjoy food and sharing recipes just as much as we do----and we like to decorate our recipes, too!
