Lattice/Basket Weave Technique Cards

I love showing different techniques as demonstrations at our club meetings

I chose the Lattice Technique for April

I did this years ago and it was fun to bring it back

Isn't that stunning - the "lattice" or as some call it "basket weave" is SO gorgeous

It looks complicated, but is really very simple

You will start with a template.  You can download a whole page of them here

This is essentially what you will use.  Line this template up on the score line of your card base and cut

Note that every other cut is long - short

When you get to the last "short" cut, you will clip to the long cut and save that piece

Open the card and begin by taking the 3rd "arrow", folding it down and tucking it under the first piece

 

Do this with every other piece until you get to the top

Take the piece you cut out and add adhesive to it and place it at the top and under the diagonal

This is what it should look like when done

Fold this to the inside and you are done!!

What a fun project!!
