We glue the back part from two rectangles to also get one measuring 8.5*12 cm. We sew a rectangle of paper of a different color on a machine vertically, as in the photo below.

And we also sew another rectangle on the machine, but this time it’s smaller. We attach a ribbon to the picture with the girl, wrap it and glue it with small pieces of tape.

We attach the picture to the scrap paper and first sew on the ribbon. And then the whole picture in a circle, we also sew the second blank on a typewriter. On a separate sheet of white paper we stamp the inscription “Passport” and cut out a rectangle with the inscription.
