wEekLy prOjecT #8
Hi Everyone! This weeks project is unique, and totally different than any of our other weekly projects! These super cute projects are brought to us by Vicki Chrisman!!
1
) You will need a photo approximately 6 inches high to get started on your fairy. The photo works best if it is a complete shot.. head to toe. I sized mine in Photoshop and turned my color photo to black and white. Cut your image out as precisely and possible.
2.)Using the hat, wings and saying die cuts from the “Sweet Pea” Titles and Tags sheet, attach to each your image. (The wings were attached from behind.)
3) Cut the flowers and star from “The Sweet Pea “ line , and attach to the fairy.
4) You can use other coordinating papers from the Sweet Pea line to embellish your fairy.
5) Add gems to the center of the flowers, a pom pom to the top of the hat, and glitter to the wings and star.(I used Stickles)
6) Decorate a wooden spool with coordinating papers from the Sweet Pea line, and attach flower pedals from one of the flowers from the “Titles and Tags” sheet. ( leaving the hole in the center o f the spool open for the wooden dowel to fit into)
7) Cut a piece of 1/8inch diameter dowel to approximately 9 inches. You can adjust the length of the dowel to fit the height of your image. Hot glue the dowel to the back of the image, starting at the very top of the head. (The further up you glue the dowel the more support you will have for your image.)
8) Hot glue the other end of the dowel into the hole in the center of the spool.
OMG! That is PRECIOUS!!!
