Early War Soldier's ID Outside
View		 The original ID card was printed on a pigskin textured brown paper. You can see where the paper has worn & the fabric reinforcement is visable. The interior is a beige paper. To make this card, print the outside on brown textured paper & the inside on beige paper. Spread glue on the entire back of both pieces of paper & sandwich a piece of muslin between the two. Stack a few books on top of this for a few days to let it dry. (make sure to protect the books from the moisture of the glue) Then, score along the two vertical folds, trim to size & fill out.  Sep 12, 2009 4:35 PM Dylan Manchu
