Quick and Easy Sunburst

Charity Here!

I'm challenging paper crafters to add a sunburst to layouts or cards. If you are a little rusty on sunburst mechanics I've got a quick tutorial that will help out.

Step 1:

Fold a 6x6 sheet of paper in half diagonally

Step 2:

Fold it in half again

Step 3:

Unfold the paper so the four triangles are visible.

Draw arrows pointing to the right side of the triangles.

Step 4:

Cut out the triangles on the fold lines.

Trace them onto scrap pieces of patterned paper.

You will need two of each triangle to make a half page sunburst.

Step 5:

When cutting out the right side of each of the triangles leave an extra 1/4 inch of paper. This flap will go under the piece next to it when you adhere them to your background.

Tip #1

A bit of trim or stitching will cover any awkward adges left by imperfect cutting.

Tip #2

It is VERY difficult to get the points to match. Placing a die-cut, journaling card, or photo over the center of the sunburst takes care of this potential problem.

Check my blog Scrappin' Chaos for a list of supplies.

 

Scrap On!
