Create greeting cards with napkins - without liquid glue
Easter is coming. Anyone who would like to send self-made cards on this occasion, could try it with my method.
Since I know this ironing method without liquid adhesive, I create in this way almost all cards and gift tags for different occasions.
As "ingredients" you need in this order only:
- a firm, heat-compatible surface (eg wooden board, size about 20 x 30 cm),
- covered with baking paper
- the ones to be decorated map, not opened
- Cling film, slightly larger than the card (film shrinks when ironing)
- the highest position of a napkin
- baking paper, significantly larger than the foil
This is how it's done:
- Iron everything with an iron for about 10 seconds ("cotton", without steam!).
- The foil serves as an adhesive and is welded together by heating the card and the napkin; Thus, the card does not curl, as when using liquid napkin adhesive.
- Slowly peel off baking papers, remove any film residue and use repeatedly.
- Cut off excess foil and napkin residues from the card with sharp scissors.
- Be happy about the result!
Hints:
Contact Avoid iron-foil, because of burn-in on the sliding surface, therefore if possible, use an old iron.
Work in ventilated area with longer ironing.
On bright cards (white / cream) the napkin motif comes into its own.
Affordable folding cards can be made from white DIN-A5 index cards.
