1. 1. Measure and cut an 8” x 11” and 5 ½” x 4” piece or yellow paper, a 6 3/8” x 10”, a 5” x 12” and 4” x 5 ½” piece of white paper and a 5 ½” x 4 piece of pink paper. Using the square shape template trace a 1 ¼” and a 1” square on the pink, white and yellow papers. Using the circle shape template trace a 1 1/2” and a 2” circle on the white paper.
2. 2. Using the purple, red and yellow markers alternately mark lines across the 5” x 12” white paper the short way and across the 2” circle. First mark red lines ¾” to 1” apart and then mark a purple line between and then yellow lines here and there. The lines don’t have to be straight. Keep it loose and have fun. Using a cotton swab chalk across the lines alternating pink and yellow. Using the silver glitter paint squirt lines over the lines and spread around the paintbrush. Let dry.
3. 3. Glue the 4” x 5 ½” pink paper to the 12” strip of lined paper ½” from the right side and ½” from the bottom. Center and glue a 1” yellow square to a 1 ¼” pink square; a 1” pink square to a 1 ¼” white square and a 1” white square to a 1 ¼” yellow square and let dry. Punch 1/8” holes through the middle of all the squares. Attach the purple, yellow and pink flower brads through the squares as shown. Glue the squares on the lined paper as shown with the first square 1 ¼” from the left side and ¼” between the other squares. Let dry.
4. 4. Glue the large yellow piece of paper ¼” in from the right side of the pink paper and ¼” down from the top. Glue the large white piece of paper over the yellow one 5/8” from the left side and 1 1/8” down form the top. Glue the lined strip across the bottom 7/8” from the bottom. Glue the smaller yellow panel 1” in form the left and 1 ¼” down from the top. Glue the white panel 7/8” in form the right and ¼” down from the top. Let dry.
5. 5. Using the bullet-tip of the markers line around the pink panel with purple, the white panel with yellow and the yellow panel with pink. Using cotton swabs chalk over the purple line with yellow, the yellow line with pink and the pink line with purple.
6. 6. Glue the 1 ½” circle centered on the 2” striped circle. Punch a ¼” hole in the top of the circle and the stripes running horizontally. Copy “best friends” onto tracing paper, turn over and go over the letters with a pencil. Lay the tracing paper right-side up with the letters centered in the white circle and go over them with a ballpoint pen. Using the fine-tip of the purple marker line over the letters and around the white circle.
7. 7. Cut the striped ribbon in half and glue one end of each piece behind the side of the page with the top of the ribbon 5/8” below the top of the page. Let dry. Tie the ribbon into a knot through the tag and trim ends to 1 ¾”. Glue the pink rickrack across the top of the striped paper. Let dry.
