To make the sticker flowers, use pliers to twist the tip of the wire into a spiral and bend the spiral 90 degrees. Cover the wire with floral tape and apply glitter. Attach one wire to an adhesive back of fern and secure with hot glue. Make a flower bouquet next on your crafting to-do list for a beautiful rendition to a typical arrangement. If desired, tie card invitation with matching satin ribbon if desired. Glue balloon cut-outs onto the paper backing of the invitation and unfurl. Cut a short length of twine, tie into a knot, and loop behind the basket cut-out (this will be the line that connects the hot air balloon to the basket). Glue each folded balloon cut-out back to back, so each half connects to another half of a differently colored cut-out, along the fold line.Ĭut a small square of paper (this will be the hot air balloon basket). Remove the ruler and reinforce the scored line, smoothing it down with the bone folder. Using a bone folder and ruler, score a straight line down the center of each balloon cut-out. (Tip: Stack different colors or subtly different shades of a single color to add dimensionality to each balloon.)
Stack five sheets of colorful cardstock, and cut out the template using scissors. Begin by printing out your own template, and cut out the balloon shape. Give your invitations a creative twist with a hot air balloon design. Finish the anchor with a handmade tassel. Create an anchor for the medallion base-beads, small crystals, or stones on cord add a little extra weight beneath a medallion to keep it from flapping in the breeze. If desired, cut out additional silhouettes from illustrated papers and collage them, overlapping the center circle of the medallion.Ĭreate a hanging loop by attaching a length of metallic cord to the top of the medallion with a brass grommet. You may decide to leave the base as is (see the large gold and small pink medallions) or back it with another piece of paper (see the medium medallion backed with fringed metallic gold paper).Ĭreate the medallion center: Measure the area within your punched circle, then cut a circle of printed paper to fit within it adhere the medallion center to the punched circle. Start with a punched circle as your base, embellishing as desired. The layered collage effect is a terrific way to highlight favorite special papers or use up scraps destined for the recycling bin. Or string a few together for a garland or mobile. Let dry.Ĭharming punched-paper medallions can be used to brighten a door, wall, or window. Tie the tail to the bottom tip of the dowel.īrush glue along back edges of the paper adhere the second piece of paper, patterned side up. Twist crepe strips at the center, and tie in knots along tail about 8 inches apart.
To create the tail, cut a long length of twine, and cut crepe paper into 4-by-1.5-inch strips. Poke a small hole through the paper where the dowels intersect thread the twine through for hanging. Brush glue on smaller pieces of paper, and adhere them over the dowels to larger piece of paper at each of the four corners let dry.Ĭut another piece of twine to the desired length for hanging the kite. Place dowels on back side of one piece of paper (use the 19-inch dowel for the vertical, and the 16-inch one for the horizontal). Cross dowels lash together by wrapping and tying twine around the point where they intersect. Cut dowel into one 19-inch piece and one 16-inch piece.
The washi tape and acrylic paint will add extra flair to the kite paper to make this project come alive.īegin by tracing the template onto decorative paper and cutting it out. This craft will be just as colorful as it will be fun to make. You won't have to wait for sunny days to enjoy creating kites.
