For this class we did Iris Folding. Quite an interested technique. No difficult at all, but it can take some time. I chose to use a Xmas Tree for the card, but the options where endless. I could have use one of the other templates instead, but since we are heading into The Silly Season, I thought it would be a good inspiration.
What we did:
- Cut the template and stick it on to card stock ready to be used.
- Then used the outline from the template to draw and cut this from a piece of card stock that is to be attached to the main card.
- For the design I chose I needed 3 pieces of designer paper.
- I cut 3 strips of 1" each. For this design maybe 2 would have been enough. Then fold each strip in half.
- Stick one strip at a time following the numbers in the template, making sure that the same colours were attached to the same section.
- To finish it off, I put a gold brad in the shape of a star on top of the tree.
The end result was quite stunning. What do you think?
