DORZ.: March 2014

Oh, it really is dusty. Whoops, I was just talking about the blog, hehe. So HELLO GUYS! How are you doing recently? Life has it's ups and downs so I'm pretty sure that not everyone of us are experiencing happy moments or happenings every single day. For me, I would just want to keep my life simple and neutral with no unnecessary stress or problems. But it seems like I just can't get rid of it. Whatever happens, I have to tell myself to stay strong and always try my best to do something that is within my abilities. :)

>> I'm going to post about a diy tutorial today, yay! It's about making your own multiple-paged card! I'm not sure if you guys would really like this method but I find it easier compared to other methods that I can find online. It's simple and it doesn't require staplers. You'll need a bit of an effort and a piece of ribbon. :D

Here's some pictures of my creation,

These are some of the materials that I used in making the card.

Side view of the card.

All you need is just a ruler for measurements, a pencil to do some marking, a stationary knife blade, papers or card sheets (depending on how thick you want your card to be and how many pages you want to create out of it) and a long piece of ribbon of your choice! I'm using card sheets that are just slightly thicker than normal A4 sized papers so it's easier to for me to do all the jobs! I would highly recommend you guys to use a ribbon with a smaller diameter to create a better looking multiple-paged card. :)

The things required to make your card. Here, I'm using smaller pieces of paper just to demonstrate on how to complete the entire process.

Select the ribbon of your choice. :)

First, fold your card or paper into half to create a crease in the middle.

Next, unfold your card and start measuring the length between the gaps that are needed to be cut for the ribbon to go through it.

Measure depending on how large you want the gaps and the holes to be.

Draw it till the end of the card..

Next, cut the line that you have drawn earlier.

The holes should appear like this.

Pull the ribbon through the first hole of the card.

Then, combine the other card and continue to pull the ribbon through the first hole of the other card.

Like so.

Repeat this step until you have completed in inserting the ribbon through the holes of all the cards.

Then you'll have something like this.

Flip it over and you have this.

Adjust and pull the ribbon tighter in order to complete the process. But never pull the ribbon until it's too tight in order to prevent damage to the card.

After you have pulled the card, pull both ends of the ribbon together to tie to each other. You can also decide on how you want to end your card by using other methods of your choice. :)

As for mine, I tied it this way.

I tied the ribbon upwards to form a beautiful ribbon on top. :)

And basically the last step is to decorate your card! And now, you have your own multiple-paged card! :D

Here's some little updates :

Took this picture last week in KLIA to send my mum to the airport. I really love the scenery of the airport. With bright lights and different types of airplanes. :)
