hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world today I have the most adorable Father's
Day card for you it looks like a little shirt and when you open it up you see a
personalized picture of you wishing your dad a happy Father's Day does it get any
cuter than this now this idea came from hello wonderful which is a great little
website and also the tips on how to fold and make it came from the origami
Resource Center and I have links to both of those below but I'm going to show you
how to make these cute little shirts right now for this project you will need
scrapbook paper scissors contrasting paper buttons or other embellishments
photo or computer-generated note glue stick ruler pen and if using
embellishments a glue gun take your picture or your notes or whatever you
want and make sure that it's three and a half by four and a half inches and
you're going to cut that out so that you have it nice and ready so that it looks
like that the next thing you're going to do is you're going to take your
scrapbook paper and you are going to cut it so that it is eight and half inches
wide by the length of a piece of scrapbook paper so this is this is 12
inches but I want it to be eight-and-a-half inches wide so in this
case I would cut right here along this yellow line and I end up with a piece
that is eight and a half inches wide and 12 inches long now understand that you
can do this with a regular piece of paper it's gonna end up looking
something like this but if you do this you're gonna need to make your little
picture a little bit shorter you're just gonna need to measure this size for your
picture just know that but it can be done if you don't have scrapbook paper
so first thing we're gonna do is take our paper and turn it over and fold it
in half all the way
I'm going to just try to make sure you get those edges lined up then open up
your paper and fold this end into the fold line in the center flip it around
and do the same thing on the other side
so they meet in the center next thing you're going to want to do is take your
ruler and measure down five inches and just do a little teeny tiny teeny tiny
dot so you know where the five inches is and then you're gonna fold like a
triangle from that corner to the outer corner almost like you're making a kite
and then you don't really need to put it on the other side because you're just
gonna match and fold it out so it kind of looks like a shirt right there do
that like a shirt now flip the whole thing over now you can see those are
your arms right pretty cool huh here's what you want to do fold up an
inch and a half again make a little mark on the backside so fold up an inch and a
half on the back side and then fold this edge back to the folded edge this is
called a valley fold now flip this over now we're going to make the little
collar part and to do this all we're gonna do is once again measure
with our ruler one inch make a little mark take this corner and fold it to
that little mark and we're going to do it on the same same thing on the other
side fold this corner to that little mark
see that that is the top of your collar now fold this in half and fold up the
end with the two wings so that it tucks underneath those little flaps and
there's your shirt now at this point you can embellish with buttons like I did
here or you can make a little tie like I did here and I'm gonna show you how to
make the time right now so we're just gonna take some paper and use my ruler
I'm gonna measure up mm let's see if we want a short time we would do four
inches so let's say four inches here just gonna measure that and I'm gonna
make it an inch wide I'm just gonna cut a nice little rectangle an inch by five
inches and I don't have to do any more cutting now fold this in half just like
we did the shirt fold it in half open it up take this corner and fold it right to
the center where you folded it over do the same thing on the opposite side fold
that corner up to the center and that's making the bottom of the tie see now up
here what we're gonna do is we're just gonna take this corner and this corner
and we are gonna fold it in to make a gentle slope in see that
I just folded it gently in taking this tiny corner here just about a half an
inch in right like that and just folding it down this is going
to make your tie shape
see and then you can take your glue stick and you're gonna make one is gonna
make what look good what am I going to.....I'm gonna sing a little
bit therefore you going to want to make sure that you're glue underneath as well so
I'm gonna clean there and I'm gonna clean there right on down so that
those stay and now I'm just gonna add more glue and then I could place
this right on my shirt right there at the collar line make sure you don't put
it on the collar but on the collar line now the only step that's left here is to
open this up and put in my special note now don't feel like you have to print
this on the computer it's a totally fine if you just put another piece of paper
in here and write a fun note to your dad that's fine too but I'm gonna place it
right here and as you can see it fits perfectly so I don't get glue on my
yellow fabric I'm just gonna use this as my backer make sure you use your glue
stick very amply here you want to make sure that you use lots and lots of glue
sticks what's great about this glue stick is it does dry clear but what's
fabulous about it is that the purple you can see the purple so you know what you
glued and where you glued it so now I can just place that right in the center
there and see even though I got a little glue here this is gonna just so dry
clear so don't worry about that there you go and then just close her up
and there you have this fantastic Lee adorable Father's Day card and there you
have it your very own personalized Father's Day card which is gonna mean a
lot to your father now big shout out to hello wonderful and
