Helpful tips for crafting during the crafting process
Please keep these tips in mind while crafting this card.
- Ensure even application of glue on the patterns, preferably using a brush for uniformity.
- Place a sheet of non-stick glossy paper underneath the card cover while applying glue. This prevents the card cover from sticking to the underlying surface, avoiding any tearing or damage to the card.
- Take care when attaching the card base to the card cover as it may shift or wrinkle easily while gluing.
