(#5587661) Simple Shamrock Paper Decoration
Posted by Jools on 16 Mar 2024 at 3:41AM
{ image: www.redtedart.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Shamrock-Craft-Paper.jpg }
To make these 3D Paper Shamrocks you will need:
  • green paper (one A4 sheet used carefully will make 2)
  • a pair scissors
  • stapler
  • a little glue

How to make a 3d Paper Shamrock – step by step instructions!
1) You will need to make three “paper hearts” that will be turned into your three leaved clover leaf. Begin by cutting out your paper hearts – make a “wider heart” than usual – as you will staple it in the middle and narrow it back down again.
It is important that all 3 hearts leaves are the same size. Maybe make yourself a template first and practice!/

2) Cut a slit down the middle of the heart – approximately half way down. Fold back the flaps and staple in place.


3) Your heart is finished. Repeat and make 2 more for your 3 leaf clover.

4) Cut a strip of green paper (left over from your main sheet). Apply a big blob of white/ pva glue and place the points of your heart on top. Let dry fully. You can even use hot glue if you wish, but as you are working with paper, be careful not to burn yourself!


FINISHED – and that is how easy and quick it is to make this simple 3D Paper Shamrock craft decorations. Lovely!
There is a video to show how to make the hearts if the instructions don't make sense

This is not my creation, found it online, but thought it was so cute. I can envision blue and pink chicks to go with the yellow one to put in Easter baskets, for Easter Decor or simply to give to that special someone for a surprise. It looks happy!

(#5581210) My lantern for this month's contest
Posted by Lady Goodwrench on 21 Feb 2024 at 2:05PM


I made this about 5 years ago. It is a lantern, designed for a wax and flame candle. I bought a floor lamp repair kit, and drilled a hole in the top of the lantern, and installed the light bulb socket. I placed an Alexa enabled Wi-Fi bulb in the socket. We buy seasonal items like gnomes, scarecrows, flowers, mini Christmas trees, Halloween figures, and vegetation reflecting the season or holiday, etc.. The light bulb is color scheme created to enhance the decor of the lantern. It is our patio light, and Alexa turns it on at sunset, and turns off at 10:00pm every night.
(#5581209) My scratch-built 1/35th scale 17th century Japanese castle
Posted by Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe on 21 Feb 2024 at 1:59PM
 

Here's a picture of a 1/35th scale 17th century Japanese castle that I been scratch-building for over a year. It's a seven story castle measuring 27" x 27" at the base and 34" in height, with a 12" x 12" keep. Each level is detachable and has four rooms and a hallway. There are 0ver 700 individual 'stone blocks' that I cut out of a dense foam that make up the base of the castle.

Around the frame is jute roping. The tree body is thicker nautical jute rope twisted together, and then split for branches and roots.

It's actually a fairly inexpensive craft as the majority of the supplies came from the Dollar Tree. I had the jute that I used around the frame on hand.
