Flattie Construction Tips

[rtobe]

Thought I'd start this thread to ask if those who have made flatties would share their tips for making them, making clothes and other tips. One question I have is the mickey ears with the names on some of cruise flatties - how did you do that?

I believe those were Brandies flatties - you could ask her when she gets back

Brandie is the flattie master! She did a kick-butt job, IMO!

The outfits & accessories are freakin' awesome!

I know she mentioned at one point she had a Cricut that she used in her flattie construction.

She needs to give lessons!

I would love to have instructions on how to create a flattie. I have a large circle of friendsand we had one member have to move away and I would love to make a flattie of her, so I can take pics at get togethers and send the pics to her.

SamSam here is a link for the Flat Stanley template http://www.flatstanley.com/template.htm

Flat Stanley is probably the original flattie. I used a manila file folder when I made one a couple years ago - it was a little bigger than the template.

Thank you so much! It will be so fun to bring my friends flattie with the rest of us, so we can take pics to send to her.
