I saw this Graduation Card on Pinterest, but was unable to find any instructions on how it was made. After an evening of "playing" I finally figured it out.
Below are the instructions I came up with: WARNING-THIS IS A VERY PICTURE HEAVY POST
1. Cut a piece of cardstock in your desired color - 4.25" x 10"
2. Score at 5.5". Then using the tip of your bone folder or scoring tool make at mark on the edge of the card at 3 3/8" and 7 5/8". Turn card over and repeat. I've made my scores with a white gel pen so you could see them.
3. Line up your ruler and score diagonally from each mark.
4. Fold all score lines.
5. This is the template for the inside of the card. It is 4" x 5.25" that I folded in half (at 2") then made a mark on the outside edge at 2", then cut diagonally from the center fold to the 2" mark.
6. This is the template for the "cap". Cut a 3" square.
7. This is the template for the "money holder" part of the card. Cut a 2.75" square.
8. Line up diagonal score mark at the 3" mark on your paper trimmer. Cut.
9. Flip over and repeat.
10. Punch center hole in "cap"
11. Insert "tassle" and a brad into "cap"
12. Add glue dot to back of tassle to hold it in place.
13. AND, there you have it!!!!
Thanks for looking,
Melissa

Where do you find the little tassels?
ReplyDeleteI made the tassels with embroidery floss.
