Invisible Jacob's Ladder 

By Gabby Veith (gabbyveith@sbcglobal.net) 

Supplies:

• 6 pieces of 3X6 lightweight cardstock (or 1 level 2 B&T paper cut as described below)

• 3 pieces of 1X14 thin (but sturdy) clear plastic table cloth cover or plastic bag (like the ones that bed

sheets come in) you can find it at Wal-Mart or fabric store.

• Coordinating color cardstock 

• Stamps of your choice

• Various “flat” embellishments

• Sticky tape and Tacky glue

I used 1 level 2 More to Adore Page (from bulk) and cut it as follow:

You will end up with six 3X6 cards to decorate. Decorate only one side of each of these cardstock pieces.Make sure that they are decorated before you put the project together.

 Decide which card you want to be the front and label it piece #1 (on the backside). Likewise, decide which

piece you want to be your back and label it piece #6. Put in a number from 2-5 on the rest of the cards.

If you would like to do the same as me, here are the dimensions:

Here are the steps to take:

STEP 1

Take "piece #2", placing it face down and apply plastic strips as follows: 1 strip (tail end facing to the left) to

left side of the card, gluing to middle portion of the card and 2 strips (tail ends facing to the right) glued to

right side, approx 1/8" from top and bottom of card. See photos for help here:

STEP 9

Apply glue to "piece #4" (on left) & flip over onto the right "piece #3". “Piece #4 & Piece #3 will now be

glued together.

STEP 10

Take "piece #5" and lay it to right hand side of other card pieces face up. It will be on top of both top andbottom plastic while the middle plastic piece will be pulled over piece #5. Glue the middle plastic strip

down onto the piece #5, cutting off any excess.

PLEASE NOTE: The picture is incorrect. The piece that says Front #5 should say Back #5.

STEP 11

Wrap top and bottom plastic strips over card "piece #5" to the left, cutting off excess and gluing these onto

the piece #5 as well.

PLEASE NOTE: The picture is incorrect. The piece that says Front #5 should say Back #5.  

STEP 12

Take last “piece #6" and glue right side up over the back of "piece #5". Piece #5 and Piece #6 will be glued

together now.
