Tips:

* The die-cut apron would be a great addition to a cooking scrapbook page, holding a recipe card or even journaling. * For a slightly more elegant look, do the apron in all white and the mitt in red, then accent the invitation with silver.

Instructions:
  1. Apply adhesive to both sides of White cardstock.
  2. Peel backing off one side of cardstock. Adhere Red and White 12" x 12" Gingham fabric onto cardstock carefully, so Gingham pattern is straight up and down. Repeat on reverse side, making sure pattern is going in same direction and matches previous side.
  3. Cut apron out (be sure to keep Gingham pattern straight when placing on die).
  4. Fold in creased flaps. Fold apron pocket up and adhere with three-inch pieces of Scrappy Tape, making sure flaps attatch to apron body.
  5. Cut Silver spatula. Cut mitt from Kraft cardstock.
  6. Penstitch oven mitt with Black pen. Fold mitt over apron pocket. Adhere with Scrappy Tape.
  7. Place 1/8-inch eyelets into holes in top of apron.
  8. Thread 10-inch to 12-inch lengths of twine through holes. Tie double knots in each end. Cut off excess. 
  9. Print invitation in Red on White cardstock. Leave inch between heading and information.
  10. Using paper trimmer, trim around words to 3 3/4" x 5 1/4". Cut 4" x 5 1/2" Black cardstock. Adhere behind White invitation.
  11. Cut three Kraft 1/2" x 1/2" squares. Adhere between title and information (where you left one-inch space). See example for placement.
  12. Adhere one Red button in center of each 1/2-inch square.
  13. Cut Black envelope from 14" x 9" cardstock (if larger cardstock is unavailable, use AccuCut standard A7 envelope #1).
  14. Cut Red and White Gingham envelope liner. Adhere to envelope. Assemble envelope.
