Favorite details:
1. Gluing rope to form the "girl"
2. The "hinges" cut out from the cricket to connect pictures [page 1], and picture & writing [page 2].
3. Cowboy stick sitting on the "C"
4. Flowers on foam to "pop" out
5. The green burlap
You know those cute stickers you can buy at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Michael's etc.?
Why not save the $3-$6 bucks and make your own?
I took my inspiration for my large bird from my bird paper (right side of my page). I chose similar colors, the blues, in my scrap paper pile and made the bird.
If your not much of an artist use a pencil and lightly sketch your desired cut out before hand.
I glued my "beak" down first and then my "feet" and last my bird "body" and "wing." I drew the eye lashes with a skinny black Sharpie.
It turned out great! Plus I got to use scrap paper.
Waste not, want not, right?
You can see my bird inspiration a little better on my paper to the right. | |
