Disney Altered Rolodex
You will be making 6 rolodex index cards.
Have these items ready:
6 pieces of 4x6 cardstock: 2 in each color (we used yellow, white, and red)
6 pieces of 4x6 patterned paper: 1 in each pattern (okay to duplicate, as you wish!)
6-8 assorted lengths of ribbon, fiber, ric-rac (approx. 4 inches each)
1 sheet of decorative stickers
1 sheet alphabet stickers
2-3 decorative eyelets or brads
Tools needed:
Sharp-tip scissors, or blade/mat set
Scissors
Adhesive (stickier is better)
Inkpad
Die-cut punches (Mickey heads in assorted sizes)
Mickey Mouse themed rubber stamps
Chalk (optional)
Select your base cardstock for each card. Take one of the index cards provided with your rolodex and trace it onto your cardstock. Using sharp-tip scissors or a cutting blade and mat, cut out the 6 index cards.
