Scrapbooking? Card Making - Paper Crafts? Combine Your Hobbies

So many of you wrote to ask for directions / instructions for this card. Two readers are using the template to create a Blenko quilt - thank you to Diane of California for the card and instructions.

For the crafty bloggers. Online resources are available as follows:

The basic square pattern for the layout of the different papers can be found online at http://www.origami-resource-center.com/iris-folding-square.html

The instructions on how to lay out the papers is at http://www.origami-resource-center.com/iris-folding.html

To create your water bottle template, print a picture of a water bottle, and cut it out. Make sure the inside dimensions of the cut out are the same size as your basic square template. You can increase or decrease the size of the template or the photo you cut out as suits you. Mine is 2 ¾” square. Trace the shape onto your cardstock, and cut it out. You will lay the card face down on your layout pattern, and temporarily tape it in place. Cover the neck of the bottle with a folded piece of solid colored paper, putting the fold at the edge of the square layout. Follow the instructions to fill in the square.

Once you have your bottle filled in, you can mount it on a card, frame it, or whatever suits your artistic needs.

Good luck!
