* Color paper (for cover of card)
* Print the pattern on plane paper. The pdf file of pattern is fitted to B5 size paper. (B5 size is Japanese size 182mm x 257mm.) Please use the paper which you are easy to use.
* Fix Kent paper to the back of the paper pattern with cellophane tape.
The cellophane tape must be removed after cutting, so please cut shorter. It is better to fix in 4 places.
Press at the red and blue lines of the pattern using the eyeleteer for making dents on Kent paper. This is done to make it easier to fold
Use a ruler always.
