I wanted to share with you how to make an easel out of card stock. These are great because you can put them into the envelope with the card you are sending! I can't take credit for the idea though, my favorite water color teacher Susan Casto showed this to me!
Start with a sheet of 81/2 X 11 card stock & fold in half. Be sure to crease fold.
Then fold in half again. Crease the fold well.
I stood it up, so you can see how it will stand up, when it is finished....But first you need to cut.
I drew in the lines so you can see the basic idea. I usually just freehand them. I start at the top, it's a little tough to cut through 4 layers of card stock so use good scissors. The folds are the two bottom sides.
After you have cut it out you will be left with the basic easel. All you need to do is glue .
It may be hard to see that I have glued the right side but not the left. These are really easy! Please let me know if you found this help full. If you still need help please also let me know. It would be easier to show in a video, but I don't have one. Remember this is the BASIC IDEA...these can be made to coordinate with the card...as part of the gift you are giving. Have fun!
