Cut six strips of card/paper in variety of
colours all 2cm wide by 16cm long.
|
 |
| |
Stamp images onto
card/paper if desired. |
| |
Lay 2 cm strips onto JAC paper (after
pulling off protective backing on one side). Place them as close
together as possible without overlapping. You should not be able to
see or feel any of the sticky JAC paper underneath. Continue to stick
down all 6 strips. |
| |
Using a paper cutter
or ruler & sharp craft knife cut your JAC paper piece into these measurements, make sure you
cut across the papers so you end up with strips that look similar to Image 1
2 x 2.5cm
2 x 2cm
2 x 1.2cm
5 x 0.6cm |
| |
Cut large piece of
cardstock (measuring 12 x 16cm) that will act as a base. Begin
by sticking one of the largest strips (the 2.5cm) to the
top of the card.
Image 2.

|
|
| |
Stick one of the 2cm
strips next to the first. Do not stick even with the first, but
offset from the left by one square Image 3.
There will now be one square hanging over the right edge. Cut this off
and glue onto the opposite end to make the strip look complete - always be
careful when doing this, it's here that you can MUCK UP BIG TIME! |
 |
| |
Stick one of the
1.2cm strips next to the second strip Image 4,
again offset from the left, but this time by two squares. There will now be
two squares hanging over the right edge. Cut these off and glue onto
the opposite end to make the strip complete. |
 |
| |
Stick one of the
0.6cm strips next to the third strip Image 5,
again offset from the left, but this time by three squares. There will now
be three squares hanging over the right edge. Cut these off and glue
onto the opposite end to make the strip complete. |
 |
| |
Again using a 0.6cm
strip, repeat step 8 - moving everything one square to the left
as usual. |
 |
| |
Again using a 0.6cm
strip, repeat step 9 - moving everything one square to the left
as usual. This is the sixth strip you have stuck down and should
be the middle Images 6 and 7.

WARNING
- INSTRUCTIONS CHANGE HERE! |
| |
This step uses a
0.6cm strip again, but as can be seen in Image 8
the strips are now placed from the
right hand side. Easy way to check you are doing it right is that you
should begin to see your pattern emerging. Cut off overhanging squares
and glue them onto the other end - make sure these patterns line up too.
The pattern is like a hill - you've gone up one side now you must go down
the other. |
 |
| |
The last 0.6cm strip
goes one square further towards the left again. This should look
like Image 9. |
 |
| |
Stick the other 1.2cm
strip down, one square further towards the left
Image 10, cut off overhang and adhere
to opposite end.
|
 |
| |
Stick the 2cm strip
down, one square further towards the left again. This should
look like Image 11. |
 |
| |
Finally, stick down
the last strip (2.5cm), your bargello should now look like Image 12.
The last strip should look exactly like the first. |
 |
| |
Trim off any excess
card stock Image 13 and mount bargello onto a larger piece of card stock. |
