Here's a couple of Step by Step pictures with instructions on how to create a paper pieced Picket Fence to embellish your page - perfect for pages about your home, a friend's new house, the family pet or - like I have done, a new baby.
How to create your own Picket Fence!
You need:
plain cardstock or thick paper
metal ruler
exacto knife and scissors
pencil
Measure out your cardstock at 1cm widths - you need about 20 - 30 picket fence palings, depending on how long you want your fence. Each fence paling also needs to be 8cm tall
Either use your exacto knife or a pair of scissors to cut each fence paling up into the cardstock.
Use your scissors to snip the tips off the fences at an angle.Add some puffy mounting tape to the back of each fence paling.
Adhere your fence to your layout over the top of two thin strips of paper (to act as the back fence rungs).
And here is the finished layout - celebrating the safe arrival of my god-daughter Sophia :).
I have also created this card using the fence paling idea - this would be great to use for someone you know who is moving into a new home:
Have fun and happy creating everyone!
