Some time ago, I came across Heather Bailey's blog. Her posts have given me so much creative inspiration that I have been bursting at the seams wanting to do something crafty. For a few weeks, I have wanted to try out her Paper Globe project, seen here and here. Well, very early this morning (lets say around 2 am), long after my brain shut down and my eyes couldn't read one more sentence about counseling and developmental theories and research, I gave in, and made one of these delightful items!
After my last project, I decided to read the directions along the way (Heather's detailed directions can be found on her web site). I will also try to post the steps I took, though may not be very complete.
1. I chose 10 sheets of paper, and had my Cricut cut 20 five inch circles.
I love that my Cricut did all this work for me. I can't imagine how long it would have taken otherwise, and I'm all about saving time!
2. Had Husband figure out what size triangle I needed. Thanked him.
4. Glued 5 together for the top, and then five others together for the bottom.
5. With the remaining 10 circles, glued them all together "in a line" and then glued each end together to make a ring (I was so excited about this that I forgot to take a photos of this exact step. However you can kind of see the ring in the background of the above photo).
6. Next, I glued the top on the ring, and then the bottom.
7. And Wha-La!

OOH, I love the Christmas tree idea! I'm very excited about these (maybe too excited over a paper globe) and thinking of all the possibilities! I think it is going to be a fun way to use of some of my extra paper, as well as make some fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteWow that's way too crafty for me... but very cute!

ReplyDeleteOhhhh I see you have a Cricut. I have been drooling over one and finally got one when the price went down because they made the bigger one
ReplyDeleteThese turned out beautifully! Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the way you mixed them. I'm always afraid to mix too many different patterns, but they look great on your project.
Thanks for sharing.
Hey - thanks so much for coming by this evening. Hope you had a nice Monday - see you soon. Kellan
ReplyDeleteThis makes me tired! I'm glad there are other people in the world who do cool stuff like this so I don't have to. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI love your little circle-cutting machine thingie. I *might* be inclined to try this project if I had one.
ReplyDeleteYours turned out great!
Ooo, that is so cute! I have been thinking about getting a CriCut. I love that you showed this idea using it! Hope you're having a good week!
ReplyDeleteI luv this idea but unfortunately I don't have a cricut..
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog. Have a spectacular day!

My cricut has been such as blessing. It saves time and allows me so many more options. Plus, though it is initially spendy, overall I have been able to save a lot of money by making tags and embellishments myself!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think I'd be excited over it if I made one too. Maybe I'll add it to my list of things to try someday. They are really pretty! :)
ReplyDeletevery cute! What I'm amazed about is that you did that in the middle of the night! I also LOVE my Cricut :)
ReplyDeleteYou are one crafty lady! It's nice to meet you!
