Print on heavy-weight card stock, (laminate all pieces,) then cut out.

Fold on all lines.
(If you laminate, then the paper will be particularly stiff, you may need to score before folding.)


I never laminate because the laminated stock separates at folds. I'm doing something wrong, obviously, but cannot figure out what. Instead I use soft gloss photo paper, which is somewhat waterproof.

Form a pocket.
Apply glue on three glue tabs and carefully press the "pocket" onto the apron base.
(For laminated sheets, I recommend using Aleenes Tacky glue in the gold bottle.)

Punch holes where indicated.

Take a piece of string (raffia, twine...), thread it through each hole and tie knots at both ends to create neck strap.

Tuck in a pack of recipe cards (10 - 20) and a very nice gift is ready.
