Simple assembly instructions :
NEEDED: Scissors & Glue Stick
Note: Recommend printing in color on normal paper
This uses a simple origami trick
1) First trim off the excess paper
2) Fold it in half so you see only the top and aft cover, and two pages above them so it looks like a square.
3) Cut along the top edge of the top cover, separating it from the page above it. Cut to the center of the folded piece. Don’t cut between back cover and the page above it.
4) Unfold and re-fold in half the other way so the pages appear the be in a line.
5) Fold both outside panels (The back cover and the far right page upward and flatten them over to top cover.)
6) Un-fold the two outside panels, and this time fold them down and under, flattening them against the center pages (which be pages 4 and 5).
7) You should now be able to grasp the back cover in one hand and page 2 in the other, and push them in towards each other, collapsing the top cover against page 1 and collapsing page 4 against page 5.
8) Fold page 1 down to page 2, and fold page 4 down to page 3, so you have a shape like the one shown in Figure 7.
9) Now fold the back cover underneath and flatten it so you have a shape like the one shown in Figure 8.
10) Now glue the blank white insides of the page panels together and trim away any white edges that remain. There you have it…a finished 6-page invitation.
ENJOY!
