Paper Folding: Fan Greeting Card
By Karen Thomas for Arthur Grummer's
Follow this guide for a creative and different approach to giving money in a greeting card.
Supplies:
- AG "Money Folding 2" Book
- 1 new bill, or handmade paper the same size
- 5" x 7" folded green card
- Metallic dark blue cardstock: 3 1/8" x 6"
- Off white cardstock: 2 7/8" x 5 1/2"
- Metallic purple cardstock: 2" x 4 5/8"
- 4" wrapping wire or cord
- 4 purple eyelets and eyelet tools or mini brads
- Green marker
- Scissors
- Removabe tape
- Adhesive
Tips: Use extra large "money" to practice folds. You can also use foreign money for a different look. By law, paper currency can only be photocopied in black & white, single-sided and must be reduced to 75% or enlarged to 150% of its original size.
Steps:
- This project is from 'Money Folding 2' courtesy of Design Originals. Imagine this project in handmade paper!
- Make accordion folds, back and forth, starting at one end of the bill. Keep each fold the same width.
- Pinch bottom of fan and wrap with wire or cord.
- Layer cardstocks and adhere to card. Set eyelets or mini brads.
- Write or stamp 'Happy Birthday on bottom of card.
- Adhere fan to card with removable tape!
