I had a lot of fun, making these cute 3-D swaps for Convention. Though I accidently used a retired embossing folder, many girls asked for them like it didn't matter! I had several requests for instructions on how to make these, so I went on a hunt for the instructions I found online. Actually, it wasn't me who found it online, but my Mom. The copy she gave me listed the website it came from, but unfortunately the site is no longer up & running.
So instead of sending you over to the source listed on my recipe, I've scanned in the page & will share with you the recipe for making this cutie!
(Not to scale)
Using an 11"x4" piece of card stock, you'll cut along the solid lines & score along the dashed lines.
Along the 11" side, you'll score at 1/2", 1 3/4", 4 1/4", & 5 1/2".
Along the 4" side (the top of the image), you'll score at 3".
Use a 3/4"-1" circle punch, depending on the size of test tube you purchased. You want it to be a snug fit.
The test tubes were purchased through Seaside Crafts in a bulk order. Their website is currently under construction, but they have a Yahoo group to keep people informed of their current deals. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/
