Today, I am sharing a tutorial on how to fold a paper shirt.
These are great for masculine cards but can also be added to your scrapbook page.
Below I have created 2 masculine birthday cards by adding the paper shirt to a card.
This paper folded shirt would also work as a great Father’s Day Card.
I used complimentary card stock to the card base and a sentiment.
The Sangria Background and Texture (B&T) paper was cut at a larger size than the Lagoon striped shirt to create different size shirts.
The instructions…
Here are the instructions I use to cut the Sangria shirt.
- Cut a piece of Background and Texture (B&T) paper to 5″ x 7″
- Fold in half length ways
- Fold each edge into the centre fold
- Using one end, fold the flaps down to create the sleeves
- Turn the paper over and fold 7/8″ over to create a collar
- Turn back over and fold in half and glue down under the collar
- Cut a 1/8″ of co-ordinating card stock to create the stripes for the sleeves and the button up
- Embellish with coloured dots to create the buttons
Examples…
Here are some more paper shirts I have created.
If you want a smaller or larger paper shirt, adjust the B&T paper size and make sure that your paper is not a square.
The possibilities are endless with Close To My Heart B&T paper range.
