3mm box board sheet
Glue
Double-sided black tape ( 12mm wide )
Tube black acrylic paint
Paint brush
Thick card for your template
Stanley knife
The process :
1. Print out the templates; re size it if you’d like with the utilization of a photocopier.
2. Paste your template on your thick card using glue and cut out the shape.
3. Employing a biro, trace the form of your template onto a foam core board. Use a Stanley knife to cut out the shapes ; if there’s straight edges employ a ruler.
4. The stand at the back of the template is mostly a bit shorter, so the length from point to end should be 22cms. Trace this shape onto the box board then cut it out. For the earring stand, you can use the same template, just center the ruler thru the point and ran a line on each side of the ruler-3cms wide and nine cm. Long.
5. Score a line after you finished cutting out the stand, about a centimeter down to make the bend. You can refer the stand to a picture frame if you aren’t sure about it.
6. Attach a chunk of double sided tape to the 1cm block on the side which already has a scored line. This is going to be attached to the foam core.
7. Next you have to bring them both together. You will find it a little bit of a juggle, but it’s's ok. Then line up the two bottom edges. Do not be disturbed if the stand will hang out a few millimeters, it truly doesn’t matter because when it’s standing upright, it won’t be seen from the front. After that, you can now attach the stand to the foam core on the opposite side of the tape.
8. Lastly, as the box board comes in a natural cardboard color, you have got to paint it to match the white or black, have it dry for two hours.
