Making a textile passport cover
To make a textile passport cover, you will need cardboard with a density of 200 g/m2, scrap paper, purple office paper, checkered and floral cotton fabric, lace, decorations, PVA glue, glue stick, transparent polymer glue, scissors with curly and straight blades, scoring tool, ruler.
Cut a rectangle from cardboard 20 cm long and 13.5 cm wide.
To correctly calculate the size of the rectangle, measure the sides of the passport (in this case 9x12.5 cm). Double the width and add 2 cm to the resulting number (9cmx2+2cm = 20cm). Add 1 cm to the height (12.5 cm + 1 cm = 13.5 cm)
Make a crease along the fold line and two lines on either side of the fold line at 2mm intervals.
Iron the checkered fabric and cut out a rectangle with sides 2 cm larger than the sides of the cardboard rectangle. In this case, 22x15.5cm.
Apply a thin layer of PVA glue to the cardboard. Glue the fabric to the cardboard, leaving a hem allowance. Cut the corners of the fabric diagonally.
Fold and glue the top and bottom sides of the fabric to the cardboard coated with PVA glue.
Then the right and left sides.
Make sure that the fabric does not overlap at the corners, but lies seam to seam. Excess tissue can be trimmed with nail scissors.
From the outside, the corner should also be neat.
Cut a rectangle 13 cm long and 5 cm wide from plaid fabric. Fold it 1 cm and iron the short sides of the rectangle inward.
Glue the fabric to the inside of the cover.
Cut two 9x12.5 cm rectangles from scrapbooking paper.
To form pockets from the same paper, cut out two rectangles measuring 5x14.5 cm.
Cut two corners of the long rectangles. To do this, step back 1 cm from the edge of the short and one long side and draw lines. Step back 2 mm from them and draw the parallels that are needed to create a voluminous pocket.
Fold and glue the pockets to the endpapers.
For gluing, use a glue stick, which, unlike PVA, does not warp the paper. Glue the paper blanks to the cover. Here already use PVA, but apply it not to paper, but to a cardboard blank.
The final stage is decorating the cover. Cut a rectangle from floral fabric (a), fold it diagonally (b) and round the base of the resulting triangle (c). The result will be a petal.
Make 7 more petals. Layering one petal on top of the other, form a flower, periodically stitching through the middle.
To complete the flower, sew on a round button and a heart button.
Glue the doves and the chain onto polymer glue.
Then glue lace21.jpg, ribbon and textile flower.
Cut an oval out of scrap paper using curly scissors. Print the inscription on purple office paper and cut it out with curly scissors. Glue two pieces together.
Glue the inscription to the cover.
Your DIY textile passport cover is ready.
