Now you can be proud of your latest artistic creation that I’m sure you will love! This is the folder when it is closed below. Try to fold as straight as you possibly can. You can use scrapbook paper, or paint or collage your paper first if you wish. To finish you can sew or tape the edges on the ends as i did for plenty of tucking space. On the other side fold over at the 1″ score mark and burnish as well. Fold over flaps to 4.5″ score mark and burnish corners firmly with bone folder to create flaps. Now we will make cuts to the 4.5″ point, as you can follow in the tutorial. First score at the 1″ line, then 4.5,” and 8″ marks. Using your scoring tool and with paper set horizontally, we will now score at the necessary specific points. And not to worry, all of the measurements will be on Tri-Fold Matchbook Folder Template (seen in the above image). You definitely will need a scoring board for this project. Many possibilities are available! I s uggest strong cardstock for this project to prevent tearing.Ĭreate a Tri-fold Matchbook Folder Tutorial These can be used as stand alone, a cute card, or even place a gift card inside it.
I have made quite a few of these for bookmaking projects during the past year. A printable template has been made for you to print out and follow along. Today we are making a trifold matchbook folder as we move forward in our junk journaling journey. Please scroll down to see the video step-by-step how to. This Video Tutorial shows you make a beautiful, 9-section folding book out of 1 sheet of cardstock! Junk Journaling and Mixed Media at its most fun. When your first section is finished, add glue to the empty space across from it, begin at the X, and glue matchsticks outward once again.Ĭontinue the process around the rest of the cross, always starting at the X when you begin a new section.How To Create a Tri-fold Matchbook Folder for your junk journals, altered books, paper crafting, card making, and scrapbooking. Begin at the X and work your way toward the outside of that section, using the center line as a guide. Then add a light layer of glue to 1 section of the cross. Begin by gluing 4 matchsticks onto the X (with the burnt part on the outside). The template has an “X” in the center of the cross. The early steps are VERY important in determining how the finished product will turn out. Do this project on a surface that can easily be wiped clean. Also be prepared to clean up lots of stray pieces of ash. The wax paper helps the cross pop easily off after it is dry. The glue can get pretty messy, so I place all materials on a piece of wax paper labeled with the child’s name. Each child will need:Ī pre-cut cross template (copied onto cardstock) This is a very simple project that only requires a few supplies. The box can be labeled with the child’s name and sent to school. When ashes have cooled, they can be returned to the box. (You can speed the process up by striking 2-3 matches at a time). For safety purposes, I recommend that parents burn the matches outside and store them in a metal pan. To complete the cross, each child will need a box of 300 matches that have been pre-burnt at home. This is a homework assignment for the parents. The burned matchsticks are a reference toward Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins.īefore your students can create a cross, you need to get some pre-burnt matches. My mom teaches 2nd Grade and she makes these crosses with her students each year during Lent. This is not a project I would take on in my Kindergarten classroom – the work is far too tedious for my little kinders. As a Religion teacher I am always looking for high-quality projects that are a nice supplement to the textbook (which, let’s face it – can sometimes be a little dull and not exactly inspiring).Ī perfect Lenten project is this beautiful cross made from pre-burned matchsticks.
