Beaded Napkin Cards by Georgia Wood |
|
Supply List:
 Decorative 2
or 3 ply paper napkins, luncheon or dinner size. Floral or a
design/style you like.
Roll of
clear plastic wrap, any brand.
Several
sheets of white tissue paper.
Cardstock,
white or a color to compliment your napkins, cut and folded to card
size.
Pennywise
Arts brand micro beads, clear unless you want to intensify a napkin
color.
For this
project you will also need your iron and ironing board. The iron
will be used NO steam, so you might want to empty the water prior to
class. |
 |
|
Directions: |
 |
Step 1
Open and press your decorative napkin. Your ironing board can be
your 'work station' for this project. |
 |
Step 2
Peel away the extra layers of the napkin, you will only use the
decorative layer on the card. You can use the excess layers to
protect your ironing board. |
 |
Step 3
Place your blank folded card on the piece of tissue paper. Lay the
napkin over the card and move it around until you find a positioning
that pleases you. |
 |
Step 4
Trim the napkin but make sure there is enough 'margin' to allow for
slippage. As you can 'rough trim' the napkin, it is not
necessary to pick it up. You can do the trimming with it laying in
position on your folded cardstock. |
 |
Step 5
Place a piece of plastic wrap between the napkin and the card. |
 |
Step 6
Lay a piece of tissue paper over the napkin. I used the excess
layers of the napkin as tissue paper. |
 |
Step 7
Press firmly on the iron. You want the heat to go through the
protective tissue paper, the decorative napkin layer, and fuse
the plastic wrap to both the decorative napkin and the card. |
 |
Step 8
Pressing over, let it set a minute before handling. |
 |
Step 9
Now that it's cool and bonded, you can pick the entire unit up for
trimming. |
 |
Step 10
Turn the unit over so you will be looking at the back of the card
while trimming. |
 |
Step 11
Trim all the excess layers at one time, following the edge of the
back side of the folded card. Use scissors that do not
have any tape or other residue gummed to them! You will be removing
4 excess layers of material at one time. |
 |
Step 12
Your basic card is now finished. On to beading it! |
 |
Step 13
Stamp a sentiment if desired. |
 |
For the Beaded Cherry card that was created by Suzanne Glazier:
Cover the entire card front with
O'So Sticky Tape from and peel
off the top liner. Add the stamped sentiment bordered in red paper
and then press the entire card face down into
clear micro bead.
Complete with a red ribbon and bow! |
