Step 9:
Trim to size so that it is sized to fit onto a piece of A4 Card that has been folded in half (approx 15cm wide x 21cm high). I've used "coredinations" cardstock with a matching tone inside the card, then sand-papered the edges for a worn look. Fold a piece of A4 card in half to make a card base. Use double-sided tape to adhere the horse to the front of the card base. |
