Hello friends and welcome to our new
Pesach tutorial. Today we're going to
learn how to make an afikoman pouch
[music]
and a placemat, both using no-sew
methods.
Let's get started. The first thing we're
going to need is a paper [music] bag,
a piece of brothing matzah,
pair of scissors, [music]
some liquid glue as well as glue stick,
a pen, a ruler,
some decorative stickers, [music] and
different kinds of papers to represent
the parting of the Red Sea. [music]
Today we're going to cut our paper bag
at the bottom
using our papers [music] as a guide for
size.
Here Naomi [music] is cutting all the
way across
until she reaches the other side and has
the bottom of the bag.
[music]
As you can see, there are way too many
pieces, so we are cutting it down.
[music]
Once all the corners are cut, you will
notice that there [music] are many flaps
that need cut off so that it folds down
properly as it should.
[music]
With the edge pieces removed, now you
will see that you cannot fold it flat
unless [music] you cut off part of the
inner flap.
Here you can see that Naomi is just
trimming a little [music] bit of the
piece so that the top piece can fold
down evenly.
Here we trim off the remaining edge so
that we have [music] a flat pouch.
By gluing down the first [music] flap
that is bent, we will be creating a flat
inner piece to our pouch. [music] This
will ensure that our matzah slides in
smoothly.
Here we [music] notice that our pouch
was a little bit too wide, so we cut it
down to fit our matzah better. [music]
On the inside of the pouch, we are
laying a strip of glue so that both
sides [music] of the pouch will glue
shut.
[music]
Now you can push the remaining flap shut
so that it sticks together.
Now comes the fun part. We get to
[music] decorate the outside of the
pouch by using different colored papers.
This particular one is more [music] of a
sandy color, so Naomi is trimming it
down in order to stick it in the middle
of the pouch.
Next we chose a lined [music] paper that
would resemble the rippling of the
waters as they pushed back from the
land. Outside of that, we have the
water.
And now it's time to create a closure
for the pouch.
And we set it aside to start gluing down
the front cover of the pouch. First we
are starting with the water,
[music]
then we are overlapping it with the
ripples, and finally we put on the dry
land.
Last but not least is our closure, to
which [music] we will add a triangle
embellishment.
Here Naomi glues the back of the flap so
that we can [music] stick it on the back
of the pouch and then close it shut.
To complete [music] the decorations on
our pouch, we've decided to add some
sticker gems to both sides of the
envelope. When we shut it, it holds the
top closed. [music] And there you have
it.
Next it's time to start on our placemat
by using a piece [music] of fabric the
size of a normal store-bought placemat.
As you can see, I cut around the edges
[music] all the way around by using the
placemat as a guide. You may notice that
I doubled up the fabric in this project
so that I could later on join [music] it
together with some glue or a sewing
machine. I finish the placemat by
cutting the corners to match the [music]
design of the placemat above. With our
base complete to resemble the waters,
now [music] it's time to cut the land.
As you will [music] notice, I use a
fabric that frays easily so that it can
create a fringe, which will add a unique
touch to our design. [music]
Here are some types of glue that you can
use to attach the land to your work.
I am showing here how you can put the
glue just around [music] the edges and
then flip the fabric over
and press it down [music] onto your
placemat. To complete your project, you
may choose to add a simple napkin that
matches your placemat by cutting out a
square out of the same fabric. [music]
Here I simply cut a double piece of
fabric and folded it over to create a
beautiful place setting [music] for
Pesach.
