Instructions
STEP 1: Fold
Fold your cardboard paper in half (A5 size) and leave aside.
STEP 2: Fold
Take your A4 red paper and fold lengthways in half, keep folding in half until you reach the desired fold width. Unfold and then fold according to the fold-lines, make sure to turn the sheet over with each fold to make a fan effect. Repeat process with the 2nd piece of red paper.
STEP 3: Fold
Fold the fan shape in half. (Repeat for both sides)
STEP 4: Glue
Now glue your 2 halves together with Craft glue to create an accordian style hinge. Repeat for the other side.
STEP 5: Glue
Apply Bostik Double Sided Tape to the inner edges of the card and stick down the hinges on both sides.
STEP 6: Decorate
Decorate the front of your card. We have chosen some lovely foam heart cut-outs, but you may decorate however you see fit.
STEP 7: Insert
Insert your notes into the card, slotting them into the hinges. You may use Prestik or a Paper Glue to keep them in place if you find that they move around.
