What You Need

 

  • A sheet of coloured card or paper that is roughly 2 1/2 times bigger than your card when held landscape – for an A6 card, an A4 sheet is perfect.
  • Some glue or sellotape

 

Instructions

 

Place your card down flat and landscape at the bottom of the paper as shown in the picture below.  Make sure there is enough room either side to fold over!

Fold the sides of the paper over the card, all the way up to the top.  You can use a ruler to help you keep it nice and straight.
