Bead Magic

Materials:
A5 sheet of white line-embossed card
Craft knife, metal ruler, cutting mat
Stylus
Pencil
Rectangle cutter, template and board
Small piece pale green card
Double-sided tape
Selection of pastel coloured beads
Silver wire
Wire cutters
PVA glue
Pink 3D paint

Instructions:
1. Cut a rectangle 16 X 15cm from the white card. Score and fold to make the card base. Mark up the horizontal centre of the card front, about one third of the way down.

2. Using the point you have just marked as a guide, cut a 5 X 2.5 cm window from the front of the card using the rectangle cutter.

3. Cut the same sized window from green card. Measured a 5mm border around the window and cut out.

4. Use double-sided tape to attach the green frame around the window in the front of the card. Thread beads onto a length of silver wire 21 cm long. Pinch the ends of the wire over so that the beads do not fall off.

5. Shape the beads wire into 3.5cm zigzag. Use PVA glue to attach it to the card.

6. Mark dots in pink 3D paint along the frame. Use PVA glue to attach a single bead 5mm below the window.
