DIY Mobile

Today nosotros have a DIY invitee post from Christine, who is a jotter designer living in Suffolk, England with her husband to be and picayune dog Toby. Christine is the owner of Paper and Cloth and has 2 excellent blogs here (papercloth blog) and here (crafty bride weblog).

Materials: scrapbook (or whatsoever pretty) paper; cardstock; pencil; little scissors; double sided record; cotton wool thread.

1. Cull a shape, I drew a bird a while back so I used this to brand my template. Whatsoever other shapes would work well such as flowers, circles, squares then on.
2. Use a slice of card (cereal parcel or similar would work well) to draw your called shape on. Cut it out. You now have your template.
3. I folded my newspaper so I didn't have to describe around my template too many times! I managed to fold it into quarters and was still able to cut through information technology ok. Depict effectually your template with the pencil and cut out the shapes. I take seven birds on my finished mobile so I needed to cut out fourteen shapes.
4. Lay out your thread. Leave enough at the top and then you tin hang it up when you're done. Lay your beginning cutting out shape, right side downwards, underneath the thread. Put a slice of double sided tape over the thread and then match up another shape, right side upwards, over the top. Press it down.
5. Continue this way, spreading out the shapes evenly until you're done. Cut the thread off at the bottom and hang your new fancy mobile up wherever you fancy.

Cheers so much for the tutorial Christine. Make sure to bank check out Christine's store when you go a chance. And stay tuned for some other DIY project from her on papernstitch very soon.
