Fold a piece of cardboard or cardstock in half and draw a half of a shape on the folded edge. In this case, a heart. 2. Cut the shape out and open up. You have now a whole symmetrical shape. 3. Any symmetrical form can be created this way. This is useful in creating your own templates. You can also create more detailed templates if you use thin tracing paper. Fold the paper in half and draw half of your shape with the details as shown in steps one and 2. If you turn the paper the other way so that the fold is facing the other side, you can see the details through the paper and can trace them to the other half. When you open the paper, the figure is complete.   Home Spring Crafts Summer Crafts Autumn Crafts Christmas Crafts Craft Recipes and Tips Wood Crafts General Crafts Kids Crafts Paper Crafts Fabric and Sewing Crafts Cards Tips and Tricks for Paper Crafts Instructions, Tips and Tutorials Rainy Day paper Craft Ideas for Kids Artist Trading Cards Tags Recycling Crafts Jewelry Crafts Clay Pot Crafts Picture Gallery Craft Patterns Newsletter Sitemap Contact Links   All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of the owners of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes.
