By Tex

Materials Required:

Pale Blue card 12cm x 12cm.

Pale Green card 3.5cm x 12cm.

Pearly translucent polyester

fabric 12cm x 12cm.

Scraps of Green/Blue silk fabric

and Green netting.

4cm Length of Gold mini tinsel.

Orange card 5cm x 5cm.

Black and Gold pens.

Brown leather type fabric 7cm x 8cm.

Tracing paper and a pencil.

Carbon paper and a small ruler.

Craft knife and cutting mat.

2 Large half gems and a large sequin.

10cm Length Pearl beading.

15 to 20 small round sequins with

holes through the centres.

Short length of Dark Yellow embroidery thread.

Scraps from an old map and a small Silver or

Gold coin.

UHU All purpose adhesive: ADH01.

Card mount: AP52U, Parchment Blue.

To Make The Card:

Place the open card face down and glue the

blue card centrally onto the left hand flap. Glue

the strip of green over the blue aligning the

lower edges.

The fish, plants and net don’t need to be

positioned exactly, simply fold the card to check

they are within the aperture area before gluing.

For the seaweed I have used some hand

painted silk in green and blue, you could use

any fabric or paper in the right colours. Cut

some rough leaf shapes from the fabric and

glue them onto the left hand side.

Place a small piece of green net over the

bottom of the leaves and green card, with the

lower edge finishing outside the aperture area.

Actual Size

Cut two fish from

the orange card, out-

line and dot in the eye

on each using a black

felt tipped pen. Glue

a short length of mini

tinsel between the fish to make the weed hanging

down from the top of the aperture. Glue the

translucent pearly fabric over the design and

glue the card closed.

Tear off two pieces of map about 4cm square.

To make the pieces of map look older and more

in keeping, soak them in black tea for about an

hour then take them out and lay flat to dry. Once

dry, take one square of map and fold from top to

bottom about half way across, pull the top centre

over the left hand corner to shape. Roughly roll

the second piece to make a rolled up map and

tie with a little gold thread.

an angle in the left hand corner, then add the

large jewels toward the back of the chest.

Using a needle and yellow thread, stitch the

sequins into a string. Take the needle through the

first sequin, then back through the sequin from

the same direction, make a small knot to secure

the end to the running thread (this will stop the

sequin sliding off and will not show). Take the

needle through the next sequin and slide it down

until it is quite close to the first, take the needle

back through from the same direction to keep it

in place. Continue until you have a good length

of strung sequins and knot the end as before.

Place the tracing paper over the diagram of

the treasure chest on the previous page and trace

the outline and handle. Position the tracing over

the brown leather and slip a piece of carbon

paper between the two making sure the inky

side is down. Retrace over the lines to transfer

them to the leather and remove the tracing.

Use the black felt tip to reinforce the shape

of the treasure chest, don’t use a ruler for this,

the lines should be naturally rough and with

occasional breaks. Using the diagram below as

a rough guide, add the gold lines inside the lid

and some highlights in both gold and black pen.

Cut the top front edge of the chest ready for

the treasure to be inserted, begin the cut approx-

imately 3mm in from the left edge and finish

1mm or so from the front right hand corner. The

cut should be a fairly straight so it’s best to use

a ruler unless you have a steady hand.

Stuff the chest with treasures gluing the

pieces in as you go with a little UHU on the back

of each piece. Start by placing the rolled map at

Put some glue onto the leather in the space

between the jewels, tuck the ends of the sequin

string under the flap and tumble them into the

chest so they look like silver coins, tuck a large

sequin and the end of the pearl beading in

amongst them as you go.

Glue the end of the pearl beading behind the

chest using the photo as a guide. Glue the back

of the chest and position it onto the card. Glue

the map and coin onto the card. My coin is just

a little bigger than a 5p piece. One of the new

10euro cent pieces is just the right size and is a

lovely, shiny yellow/gold colour.
