"UMBRELLA Teabag Folding" Card

Materials
Raylyn teabag stamp H-125 TB
Raelynn stamp H-049
Spring Flower Border J-049
Tria pens
Sure Tac Glue
Double side tape
piece of white paper (to stamp three teabag images on)
A4 White card
Purple paper 5 1/8" x 4 3/4"
pink paper 5 1/4" x 4 7/8"
Yellow card 5 1/4" x 11 1/4" (Folded)
black ink pad
tooth pick
Silver marvy metallics pen
silicon
scissors
stamp 3 tb images on paper, and 2 raelynn images and 3 spring flower images on white card (one spring border to be on bottom of card cut 4 7/8" x 4 1/2")
put all but the teabag images aside to use for card and cut and colour teabag images (only colouring one of the pictures on each as you do not see the others when made so a waste of time colouring them)
folding each one diagnally with right side out and unfold
and the other way diagnally and unfold (with right side out )
fold in half (with right side in) and unfold
Now fold this by pushing the sides in
fold the top edges in under you image so as to look like this
you should now have three teabag folded pieces like this
On 2 of them you have to fold one of the back edges in so as they are hidden (as a pair)
now you should have three pieces that should look like these
the two pieces out side pieces need a little glue to stick them down into shape
holding well for a couple of minutes so as the glue sticks well
Of the centre piece you will need to cut a tiny piece of the point (so you can put the tooth pick in with out breaking it )
use you metalic pen to colour the tooth pick and leave aside to dry
with a bit of glue on the sides slide in the centre
hold for a couple of seconds to make sure the glue sticks well
same with other side
now it starts to look like an umbrella
put tooth pick up the centre one and I hold this in place with a small amount of silicon
there you have a umbrella to put on card (OR like the pins that I made for the alota list at the convention just tape a pin to the back)
