Instructions:

Hold mesh with pliers and heat with heat tool just until the mesh starts to show color. Repeat with each piece of mesh and eyelets if desired. Hold copper tape with pliers and heat carefully with heat tool. Paper backing could catch fire if tool is held too closely or in one place too long. Let all metal pieces cool.

Score long edges of mesh pieces ¼” from each edge and fold. Score short sides ¼” from edge and fold. Repeat on remaining mesh pieces making sure that the long pieces are approximately the same length and the short pieces are approximately the same length. Score all pieces at ½” and fold in half. Long pieces should now measure about ½” wide and 4” long. Short pieces should be ½” wide and 3 ¼” long.

Stamp ‘Beauty’ image from Glamour Girl plate on transparency panel with Black StāzOn.

Apply copper tape to top edge of transparency leaving enough to fold over on the reverse side.

Now assemble the copper pocket. Insert stamped white panel in the center of the two short mesh pieces. Gently open longer mesh pieces so the short pieces, card stock, and transparency piece will all fit in. Make sure bottom of transparency piece is inside bottom mesh piece along with the white cardstock, but that ONLY the white card stock is in the top mesh piece. Place Mesh pieces together getting all pieces lined up as desired.

Using the Anywhere Punch and hammer, punch holes in corners as desired. Make sure you get through all layers. Place eyelets through holes and using the hammer and setter, set each eyelet firmly. If you’re going to attach charms or beads, use a length of copper thread or wire to thread embellishment. Then, attach thread or wire firmly to the back of mesh with red liner tape. Use red liner tape on the mesh to attach pockets to the dark blue panel.

Layer dark blue panel to light blue panel with double sided tape.

Layer to lighter blue panel with double sided tape.

Score and fold in half the 6” x 10” panel, creating a 5” x 6” card. Layer the previous pieces to the card.
