Tutorial for Hair Gel Card

Hi folks

OK, now here comes the tutorial on how to make a card with hair gel. My human friend steals the gel from her boyfriend because she has no own gel for her long hair. I heard him this morning in the bathroom, he was wondering where all his gel went to!! I tried to tell him but he did not understand my meow's and purr's. What a pity...I'd love to see him scold my human friend like she scolds me all the times!

Anyway...she made a tutorial and bossed me around to take piccies. She knows I'm a bit helpless with taking piccies. My paws are not made for taking pics. She doesn't understand this. I hope you'll find the pics useful, peeps!

CREDIT GOES TO MINDY WHO MADE THE TUTORIAL IN THE MAGNOLIA INK MAGAZINE!



1.

You need your coloured image, a baggy, some distress ink refill to dye the clear hairgel and of course you need your hubbies hairgel (or your own, but my human friend swears that it's better to use someone else's gel...)

 2.

ONE drop of the distress ink refiller only!! Let the drop fall into the baggy

 3.

this should be the max amount of hairgel to put into the baggy to the drop of distress ink.

 4.

Close the baggy tightly

5.

mix the drop and the hairgel with your fingers

 6.

it should look like this when finished mixing it together

 7.

then choose your spellbinders (or you can make it square like here and here)

 8.

cut your image to the size you prefer (make sure that it's smaller than the baggy's size but still big enough for the spellbinder)

 9.

now push back the gel on the top and bottom of the baggy like shown in the pic below

10.

grab your cellotape

 11.

put your pic upside down onto the baggy

 12.

tape the upper loose part of the baggy to the back of the image and also the under part

a sideglance:

13.

my human friend also tapes the still open right and left sides like shown in the piccies below. Hope you know what we mean! 

this is what it looks like when all four sides are

taped to the backside of the image:

14.

now it's time to cut out a piece of design paper of your choice. It should be slighly bigger than the image. If you want to, you can make two layers like my human friend did

15.

Now you can decorate your card as you like. This is the finished project of the cute little Mermaid!

We hope that you like our tutorial and that it is any help for you!

Thanks for all your lovely comments, peeps! My human friend comes soon around your blogs to visit you and "Oh" and "Ah" over your cards. She should better "Oh" and "Ah" over my empty food dish!!!! I'm hungry (although I just gobbled down a whole tin of food...).

Meow-meow
