Tutorial
- Find some playing cards! These fabulous cards shown here are great as they have a pre-aged Vintage look.
- Scuff them up with some sandpaper to give them a used feel as well as a used look
- Create a template with one of the spare cards (such as a Joker)
- Punch two holes in each cards using the template as a guide
- Create your reasons labels to attach to the cards (detailed information below)
- Using double sided tape and/or glue - attach the inserts to the cards. Using glue will take longer to dry and will stiffen the cards up adding more dimension)
- Create all 52 of your reasons cards and let the glue dry. Use another Joker to create the cover card and decorate with Rhinestones.
- Thread onto book rings
