Supplies                                                                                                                                                      • note cards: 4bar folded cards in Luxe Fino Cream (pack of 20=$5.25)

• scrap piece of cream cardstock (4×5 inches)

• sewing machine

• xacto knife

• glue

• double sided tape or adhesive

• tulle

• patterned or colored paper (for dress tops)

• thread

• adhesive pearls

Step One: Cut out dress “bodice” from patterned or colored paper and adhere it to the front of the card

Step two:  Using the knife cut out the skirt part of the dress, leaving the top “waist” intact.  Pop the skirt away from the card

 

Step three:  Cut tulle to about 6×8 inches.  Using the scotch tape, tape the tulle to the inside of the card above the “waist” of the dress

 

Step four:   Using a zig-zag stitch, sew the tulle to the card where the bodice meets the skirt.  This will adhere your tulle and create a little belt for your dress

Step five:  Remove the tape, pull the tulle through the skirt and trim it, using the shape of the skirt as your guide
