DIY Slider Card

DIY Slider Card

We are here with another DIY idea where you can incorporate your photo prints! In this DIY slider card, square photos fit best. I used a photostrip and cut it into the 4 separate images. You can adjust the measurements of the card to fit larger sizes like the small squares, or large squares. This card is perfect for birthdays or anniversaries!

Materials needed

What you need: 

  • 5 square cards (8 x 8cm)
  • 4 rectangle cards (6 x 8.5cm)
  • 2 Plastic bag/plastic sheets (12 x 6cm)
  • Double sided tape
  • Thicker double sided tape
  • Penknife
  • 4 photo prints (in this case, I am using a photostrip but cut into 4)

 

Let’s get started!

#1: Mark out a 1cm border all around the card and cut two slits in the square card
