Step 1. Fold together many layers of silk paper and use MFD011 die.

Step 2. Use a brad to hold layers together.

Step 3. Start with separating the layers from each other and fold towards the center.

Step 4. This side is done.

Step 5. Continue with other side.

Step 6. Both sides are now ready.

Step 7. Tie a thread around the center.

Step 8. Prepare glue and glitter. First role the ball into the glue and then into a glitter.

Step 9. Hang a ball and let it dry.

That's how you may do different sizes and shapes of Christmas tree balls.

Template for a piano card

Hello there!

Lately I've got so many requests about a template for a piano card, that I decided to make it and show it here. I did not write any sizes, as it depends, how big you want it.

Short explanation:

1. Cardstock paper to make a card stable.

2. You need two of those: one is black for back side of a piano, and second - note paper inside.

3. Black top part of a piano with opening. Larger part is glued on a cardstock and covered with note paper, when the opening is on a top. The marked spot is for a stick to keep it open.

4. The edge around a card, except a keybord.

5. The stick

6. The divider between keybord and main part of a piano.

7. Lower edge round the keybord (you can as well use the same long higher edge around the whole card, just lower it around a keybord).

p.s. do not forget to glue everything to a cardstock using strong glue. Leave the back side black paper for the end, as it will cover all glued edges.

Have a good srapping day!
