Zambezi Sunset by Nancy Korf
Materials Needed
  1 sheet 12 x 12 black cardstock
  1 sheet 12 x 12 dark gray cardstock
  1 sheet 12 x 12 sunset scene pattern
  paper (we used Wubie Prints)
  Metal ruler
  Craft knife
  Cutting mat
  White pencil
  Scissors
  Acid-free adhesive
  Lettering template
 
Instructions
  1. Trim gray cardstock to 11 ½” x 11 ½”. Using a ruler and the white pencil, mark placement for weaving strips along the top edge of the paper starting 5/8” in from the upper left corner. Make two marks ¼” apart for each strip. Allow ¾” space between each strip. Mark all four sides of the gray paper in the same manner.
  2. Cut 22 patterned strips ¼” x 11 ½” from the sunset paper. Place 11 strips vertically on the gray paper positioning them inside the marks. Adhere the top ends in place.
  3. Begin to weave the first horizontal strip over and under the vertical strips. Align with the pencil marks on each side to be sure the horizontal strip is straight. Adhere the ends. Weave the next strip under and over and secure the ends in place. Continue until all strips have been woven together. When finished, adhere the bottom ends of the vertical strips onto the paper.
  4. Mount entire woven page onto 12 x 12 black cardstock allowing ¼” border around page. Use a lettering template to outline title on patterned paper, cut and mat on black and mount onto page. Add photos.
