Stamp the word all boy even with the top of your plaid paper five times.

Sewing:

Stitch ¼ from right side on plaid paper starting and ending on your base paper.

Brad:

punch hole in paper ½ inch from the left side of genuine and insert blue on blue star brad.

Trim:

Adhere black bead trim around bottom left corner: 1 ¾ on left side and then a strip 7 ½ along bottom, don’t try to do this with out cutting the strips and adhering them, because they are beads and so small you won’t be able to achieve a crisp corner - it will turn out rounded.
