Project 6 - Shield
Pattern and instructions by Audrey Rigden.

Pattern for shield (note how its the reverse of the finished picture)

The shield is worked in the same way as in the instructions for sail boat 1: a reminder is given below without step-by-step photographs.

Using pattern trace onto the centre of the BACK of your card. Using a scalpel cut out shape. Lay pattern on workspace face up, and your card right side DOWN over pattern, securing with paperclips or scotch tape.

Choose 3 colours and cut coloured paper into 2.5 cm wide strips. Fold your chosen paper strips in half lengthways. Keeping the folded edge of the strip towards the centre, cover the area marked no. 1, allowing 1/4" to 1/2" at each end (or the ends will show through!) and stick down with small pieces of scotch tape. Cover the area marked no. 2 with your second colour and stick down with small pieces of scotch tape.

Continue sticking the folded papers down around the IRIS - then cover it with a small piece of your chosen holographic paper and tape securely down.

When completed, ensure all the loose edges are securely taped down, and remove from the pattern sheet - your finished picture is now ready to stick onto the front of a card!
