How to use a bone folder

My first how to! So, I thought I'd pick something easy. When I first starting making stationery I never cold get the perfect fold because I wasn't doing it right! I though you just lined up your edges and folded. But now I know better!

To get that perfect fold: 1. lay out your paper on a surface that is safe for scoring. 2. line up your desired fold line with a straight edge. 3. hold the straight edge steady with one head and apply even pressure from top to bottom. 4. turn you paper over and fold! EASY!

If you're ever in a pinch, use the dull side of a butter knife, works just as good :)

FREE Printable Pennant Design

Here's your first freebie in awhile. This pennant is a new type of PDF I'm trying out, you can customize it! Just type in one letter and print. Repeat until you spell your desired word. Great for lemonade stands or birthday banners. Enjoy! (Please note, the image here is a jpg. If you'd like the PDF, please sign up for our email list so I can send it to you :)
