Outside Cover Instructions, Part 2

  1. Make a ‘lapel’ for the cover on both the left and right sides. This will take on the appearance of a ‘jacket’. Take the upper, inside edges of the paper that have been folded and bring them to the middle of the paper. Bend them back to the outside edge on both the right and left sides.
  2. To narrow the ‘lapels’, take the outside edge of each lapel and fold it back on top of the lapel, revealing the decorated side of the paper.
  3. Take the hole punch and punch a hole at the base of each lapel on each side. You now have the openings for the ribbon to be tied.
  4. Take the ribbon and tie a bow, closing the cover. The cover is now ready for the card insert.

Tips

  • Use a ruler along the length-wise edges to press down along the folded sides for a ‘crisp’ look.
  • Wired or unwired ribbon can be used. We’ve found that 1/2″ ribbon works best.
