Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Score the 6” x 12” patterned paper piece at 4-1/2”, 6-1/2” and 11”, creating the base.

   

2. Step 2

   Score the 4” x 6” Patterned Paper piece at 2”.
   
   Use a decorative edge punch on one end if desired.
   
   Attach this piece along the scored 1” section of the base with Scor-Tape™.

   

3. Step 3

   Score the 3-3/4" x 4" patterned paper piece every 1/2" across the 4” side.

   

4. Step 4

   Crease scored lines well and attach accordion pieces to the sides of the base. Take care to line up right along the edges of each panel.

   

5. Step 5

   To add the ribbon, put Scor-Tape™ on the seam underneath the top flap, and attach the ends of the ribbons, about 1-1/2” from each end.
   
   Adhere the 2” x 6” patterned paper piece to cover the seam and ends of the ribbons.

   

6. Step 6

   Secure a magnet to the inside of the front panel using Scor-Tape™.

   

7. Step 7

   The matching magnet will automatically stick to the front panel covering the first magnet. Peel off the magnet's sticker and also the adhesive under it. Replace with Scor-Tape™. Close the flap over the exposed magnet and press so that it attaches to the underside of the flap.

   

8. Note:
   Please refer to the video to see how the magnets are attached.

   

9. Step 8

   Use stamps to label circles and adhere to the backs of the 3-7/8” x 5-1/2” cardstock pieces. Insert into the accordion slots.

   

10. Step 9

    Your accordion style card holder is finished.
