To make this beautiful folder I used the following materials:

*Foami in the colors of the chosen drawing( matte and frosted red, 
matte and frosted black, matte and frosted white, sky blue, yellow, skin and apple green).
*Vichi fabric (color of your choice).
*Brown folder (office).
*Liquid silicone.
*Silicone sticks.
*Cold paints (black, white, dark blue and pink). 
*School glue.
*School cardboard or semi-hard cardboard.
*Other accessories that we have at home (silicone gun, brushes, soldering iron and scissors),

Step 1:
I proceed to draw on the cardboard the patterns of the drawing that I am going to capture in the folder; it should be noted that I got the drawing from the network. Once the patterns are cut out, I cut them out

Step 2:
After cutting out the patterns, I will proceed with the technique of gluing the fabric to the foami. To do this procedure I put glue to the white foami, glue the fabric and leave it well stretched with a ruler so there are no bubbles, then let it dry and ready to cut. I used this technique to make the bow and dress of the ladybug; and the roof, bottom and heart of the little house.

Step 3:
Already dry the fabric on the foami, step to cut out the dress, the bow and the parts of the little house, for this procedure the pattern is placed on the opposite side, frame and cut out (this process to cut out is only with the foami and fabric) the other pieces are cut out with the pattern on the normal side.

Step 4:
Already cut out all the pieces, I leave them aside and begin to assemble the folder, for this I glue the folder with cold silicone to the sheet of light blue foami, let dry and then cut leaving a few centimeters larger foami than the size of the folder, leaving it in the form of large envelope, and cut the foami, step to close the sides with the silicone gun.

Step 5:
Once the whole folder is glued, I cut out and assemble the handles of the folder, ready, with a soldering iron I make shapes around it, I repeat this procedure with the folder and its flap.

Step 6:
In this step I start shading each of the cut out pieces, including the folder and handles, and also move on to painting the ladybug's eyes and mouth.

Step 7:
Here I move on to the last part of the folder, and that is to thermoform the flowers and leaves. For this procedure I place the flowers and leaves already cut out on the hot plate and wait until the foami is a little soft and I give the shape to each of the flowers and leaves.

Step 8:
Already thermoformed all the flowers and leaves, and shaded all the pieces I start to assemble the whole folder.

And this is how this beautiful folder made in foami turned out. Thanks for reading.
