Project Tutorial - Twinchies Part 2

So yesterday I posted my project tutorial for twinchies....now I just had to make a lil case for each twinchie as a lil bit of protection for our journey across the states to retreat!!

Supplies

4 colors of cardstock - I used "Birds of a Feather" ClubScrap kit

Circle cutter
adhesive
Ink
Bone Folder

Instructions
1. Cut 4 circles 2.25 inches each - 1 in each color.

2. Fold each circle in half, using a bone folder to really crease it good.

3. Now comes the tricky part. Before you use any adhesive, practice putting it together once. We are only working with the base right now, so just let the upper flap stay up and hopefully you can follow along with this. Lay the first circle down, place the second circle at a 45 degree angle on top of the first circle, repeat laying the 3rd circle at 45 degrees on top of the 2nd circle, the 4th circle will go on top of the 3rd and under the first, creating a square. Now once you have that pattern and technique down, you can start with your first, putting a lil modge podge on just the section where the 2nd circle will lay on it, repeat on all the circles. Then be sure and lay the tops down to ensure it is definately a square and not off kilter...but open back up to let dry.

4. Once dry, ink all the edges.

5. To close repeat the overlap technique - tucking in the last flap for a nice clean closure.
