Paper Weaving Note Card

Moral of the story - Don't hide the weaving as I did in the Seaside Spray cardstock

Apply 1/4" sticky strip to the left side of the horizontal strips

Apply 1/8" sticky strip from the 2" mark all the way to the end of the left side

Remove the 1/4" sticky strip only. If you look carefully at the graph paper, I lined up the card base along a 1/4" line.  Line up the bottom of the TOP strip 3/4" down from the top. Continue to add strips, placing the bottom of each strip at a 1/4" mark.

Helpful Tip

I pulled away the 1/8" sticky strip slightly before I lined up the strips.  Once aligned, I removed the remainder of the strip.

Remove the 1/4" sticky strip and weave in each strip before lining up and attaching. 

`
Follow the same steps as I stated in the horizontal strips, lining up each strip using the 1/4" graph lines.

I place Tear & Tape on the top side for later use.

I used liquid glue to attach the inside as illustrated because of the foiled paper
