Hi everyone, I just found this great site called 3eyedbear which has some adorable free cut and paste patterns for you.
Perfect for the avid gluer in your family….which in this case, happens to be me!
First you print out your chosen image and then follow the provided guidelines for what to cut and what to fold. After that, it's a simple matter of using your Helmar Tacky Craft Glue to assemble it. If you need any help with origami folding here is a great site for explaining those mountain and valley folds, yeah…I needed some help in that regard!
Now it looks pretty darn cute as it is, right? But, as you can see from the first picture I just had to get out my Helmar Gemstone Glue and add some pearl eyes, and added a paper beak for some dimension and some feathers for wings for texture…and a couple of other pretties as well. I do like me some sparkly stuff.
First I added a little branch and some leaves to the front of the chest using my Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
I also used my Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to make him a sturdier body by adding a cardboard paper roll for him to be attached to, that way he isn't so fragile.
I added a thick coating of 450 to the top of the chest and then sat the cardboard roll on top and added the owl over it.
Now I have the honor of doing 2 posts in one week, so check on Friday the 15th for my second post to see what little surprise I tucked inside the box.
Here's a little sneak peek…
See ya on Friday!
