(While using DSP make sure you only score lightly so you don’t tear paper)

Using the 6” strip, place it at the 3” mark on the punch board and punch, turn over and punch the other side.

Now to do the ends, line them up with the open mouth of the punch and punch all 4 sides. Use your bone folder to curl paper.

Tape middle of bow and join both ends together.

Take the ¼ “piece and wrap around the join and tape down.

Now using the 3 ½ “strip punch at the 1 ¾ mark on your board, turning and doing the other side. Now for the ends, centre tail into the centre of the punch to make tails do both ends.  Now to join together you can leave the tails straight or have then hanging down by just folding it slightly before attaching to bow.

Mini cracker using the envelope punch board

You will need-

DSP (Paper Stacks or 4.5"x 6.5" piece)

Score Board

Envelope Punch Board

Tape

Using Designer Series Paper Stacks in the seasonal catalogue as your starting point: each sheet measures 4.5"x 6.5" so it makes the score measurements really easy:

Using score board or score tool- score at 1", 2", 3" and 4" on the short side, and 1", 1.5", 2", 4.5", 5" and 5"5 on the long side.

Fold 1", 2", 3" and 4" score lines, on the other line fold in a mountain valley mountain fold on both ends.  

Using the Envelope Punch Board- fold the first of the long length folds and line up to the 1.5 mark then punch, move along to the 5” mark and punch, fold paper over again and repeat continuing to do all folds, on the widest side punch threw single paper to complete the holes needed.

Now all you need to do is tape both sides together and add ribbon and decorated with a tag.
