Folder for baptismal certificate

An important stage in the life of every child after his birth is the day of his baptism. In addition to his parents, the child also has a godmother and a godfather, who accompany and protect him throughout life along with his parents. There is also such a term as “like parents from God.”

To make such a daddy we will need to take:
• Binding cardboard two sheets 14.2*19 cm;
• A small sheet of watercolor paper;
• Scrappaper in blue-violet colors, sheet 30*30 cm;
• 100% cotton fabric, light blue with small polka dots and blue with a white bow;
• Cut out blue circle, light blue flags;
• Pictures with Mi bunnies;
• Wide 4 cm blue lace;
• Blue and blue brads of different sizes;
• Printed inscription “Baptismal Certificate”;
• Large wooden button bear on a horse;
• Scissors;
• Ink pad blue-green;
• Ruler with pencil;
• Glue stick;
• Sintepon;
• Double-sided tape;

We take sheets of binding cardboard and place them on the table 14.2*19 cm.From watercolor paper we cut a strip of 6.5*19 cm, divide it 3*0.5*3 cm, make bends with scissors and a ruler.

Now, using this watercolor sheet, we need to connect the binding blanks together. Apply glue gun, press and glue the base of the cover. We cut off a sheet of padding polyester to turn the binding blank.

Using double-sided strips of tape we glue the padding polyester onto the base.

We cut two pieces of fabric with reserves on all sides for the hem. And cut a strip of lace to the width of the fabric.

We sew the fabrics together, then sew the lace on the front side.

Now turn the prepared piece of fabric over with the picture facing down. We apply the unfolded binding blank, wrap it and bend it, and we will try on where to sew the picture and cards.

I’ll immediately measure the inside of the folder itself. We take a sheet of scrap paper, measure 14*0.5*14 cm in width, measure 18.8 cm in height. We also measure from the same sheet of paper 11*14 cm a cut for the pocket. Where the distance is 0.5 cm, we make bend lines.

We glue the pocket along the edges on the right of the inner blank, and on the left we glue the bunny. We try on the cover a card that was left from a sheet of paper, a circle, a picture with a bunny and an inscription.

We first sew on the card with a machine, then the circle with the bunny and below the inscription. As for the inner blank, we sew on the pocket and the picture. Now we glue the fabric to the cover from the inside with a glue stick.

Align the corners well.

Now from the front of the folder we stitch the cover along the edge. We insert the brads in different places.

We also put a large wooden button with a horse on the brads. Now we thoroughly coat the inside of the cover with a glue stick and glue in the scrap piece with the pocket. Dry the cover unfolded until the glue is completely dry.
