We have a real treat for you as a tutorial today!!!!
You may remember that last week we gained a hostage at the Towers so we decided to make her write a tutorial as part of her ransom.
Unfortunately for Kirsty-Anne she did so well we're going to be keeping her a bit longer although she is building up a bit of resistance to all our alcoholic beverages so we may have to send someone off on a foraging mission for some new ingredients...........
Anyhoo - do you remember seeing this wonderful wallet on the challenge blog???
Now you can make one of your own
Textured card stock I have used Core'dinations ColorCore Great White 12x12 .You could emboss regular white card instead.
6mm double sided tape .
Distress Ink Black Soot (Why not try a different colour ?) , Blending tool , Craft mat
Sewing Machine ( You could do faux stitching if you don't have a machine) & Paper Trimmer / Scoreboard
Brad , snap , or button . I used my cropadile with a snap .
Teddybo Images . I used a pre coloured graphic Teddybo_172 called Teddybo text & your choice of Embellishments.
Instructions in inches (cms in brackets)
Part One Base of Wallet
1. Cut a piece of card 12 inches (30.5cm) by 51/2 inches (14cm). Score at 5.1/2 inches (14cm) so the wallet can fold over.
2. To make the tab to close the wallet also score at 11 inches (27.9cm). Turn card stock and score at 1 1/2 inches(3.8cm) and at 4 inches(10.2cm) Just to the scoreline you have just done. Cut off corners in pink to leave the tab as shown in picture .
( Click on the pictures to enlarge or zoom on your pc . Also rotating them can help .)
Part Two Inside Wallet (Pockets)
1. Cut 6 pieces of the same card stock for the pockets . one of each of the following ;-
5 inch (12.7cm) x 2 inch (5.1cm)
5 inch (12.7cm) x 3 inch (7.6cm)
5 inch (12.7cm) x 4 inch (10.2cm)
5.1/2 inch (14cm) x 2 inch (5.1cm)
5.1/2 inch (14cm) x 3 inch (7.6cm)
5 1/2 inch (14cm) x 4 inch(10.2cm)
2. Distress large piece of card on both sides using your distress ink pad and blending tool in circular motions. Distress ink small panels on one side . It does not matter much how you do it and how much you put on it all adds to the effect ! though having lighter and darker areas seems to look cool ! . Leave to dry. You could even use Crackle paint for an even better leather look ! but would need
overnight to dry .
3. Sew all your panels and base piece individually around the edges and even around the tab !. On the larger set of panels sew up the middle for smaller pockets . Layer the panels biggest first on top of each other on your large laid out piece of card stock as shown in picture . Use double sided tape to adhere the panels remember not to tape the top parts !! or you won't be able to put anything in them !.
4. Fold the wallet at your fold line . This is the fun part add your Teddybo Images , ribbon , brads. Use a button or snap, to the tab ! Why not make a mini credit card or slip in some vouchers or a label ! Add a name or word using chipboard or cricut machine !.
This is my first tutorial so if there are any questions please ask ! ;0) Can't wait to see your creations !
Hugs
