Tips & Tricks:
- I found copy paper to be the perfect thickness for the ramen packets. It's just thin enough to still be able to fold with the packaging tape on top.
- To make the ramen packets a little more realistic, I applied a small piece of double sided tape to the end of the chip bags and used that to close them.
- I highly recommend using a thin sheet of cardboard for this project. It will be much easier to work with. However, if you're like me and don't have any thin cardboard on hand, I take a large sheet of standard cardboard and run over the entire sheet with the handle of my scissors. This smashes the cardboard down a bit and makes it easier to work with.
- Cardboard can be difficult to measure and cut because of it's rugged texture, so one trick I use is cutting out the shape on copy paper first (included in the template). Then, I loosely tape this onto a sheet of cardboard with double sided tape and then just cut the shape out and remove the copy paper!
- My hot glue gun is always my absolute best friend when it comes to cardboard! They're the best and most convenient adhesive.
- I used a pair of detail scissors to cut out the smaller pieces in the template. I didn't realize this until I started crafting, but detail scissors are a specialized pair of scissors that make cutting small shapes/details MUCH easier, so I highly recommend getting a pair if you do a lot of crafting! I use them for all of the small pieces in all of my projects.
