  1. Chalk a border (figure A) onto the page with a border stencil.

  2. Cut two parallel lines through the stencil about 1/4" apart (figure B).

  3. Using scrap photo, cut a 1/2" x 1/4" piece and adhere to a 12" piece of ribbon creating a cross.

  4. Flip the border over and insert tab inside of the parallel cuts (figure C). The ribbon should lay parallel to the stencil.

  5. Flip the border back over. You should see the tab sticking through the cuts.

  6. Place a small amount of glue on each end of the tab, and then place the cut out of the horse and cowboy on the tab.

  7. Glue the border to the page (figure D). Be sure to not place glue near the sliding element.
