To Decorate

1.   Follow the instructions on the Twisted easel tutorial sheet, to prepare the easel card.

2.   Stick the blue printed papers 13cm Sq  to the silver 14cm Sq panels, and stick the Gingham panel to the floor of the easel and the blue Plaid to the front panel.

3.   Cut out the decoupage sheet, cut the main image as small as you can and stick to the blue then silver card allowing a ½ cm boarder each time. build up the decoupage layers with foam pads.

4.   Stick the topper to the top left hand corner, allowing a 1cm boarder so that you can still see the plaid paper behind.

5.   Cut out the poem as small as you can, and stick to the blue then silver card allowing a ½ cm boarder each time, and stick to the bottom right of the card,

6.   Stick the 3 tiny buttons below the main topper, and the 1 large button above the greeting.

7.   Stick the punched boarder to the edge of the floor about 2 cm in from the right hand edge.

To make the easel rest

8.   Cut out the greeting as small as you can, and stick to the blue then silver card allowing a ½ cm boarder each time. This needs a double layer of foam tape, to be high enough to prop the easel open, prop open the easel and stick the rest in place,

9.   You have room on the floor of the easel to put a personal message, and enough blue and silver card left in the kit to mat and layer it.
