(Part : 3) My Big One's 5th birthday preparationz... Giveawayz

Just finished another giveaway... for Mohammad's class.

Last time when we went back to our home country I bought these artificial mustaches for kids. They enjoyed sooo much, pretending to be unclezzz.

Mohammad & his cousin Moby, posing for pic

Another "shocking" pose

 So, my giveaways are inspired by that :)


Material I used for printing is hard paper & Foam sheet. Mustaches & Lips from foam sheet were much better. For girls I made lips and mustaches for boys.

I printed lips & mustaches on hard paper

lips & mustaches cut outs

Pasted all cutouts on Bambo Skewers, with glue gun

Please note: I tried to attach them with tape, glue... but nothing worked. Pasting them with glue gun is the best option.

Closer view how they were pasted & DONE.

 Now Comes the Modelling :)

Last minute favour boxes...

Yesterday while cleaning my craft area i got these little square favour boxes i made for my frd's son's birthday. She asked me a day before the function to make favours for the party. This is a simple and elegant favour box. And the kool part is that you can decorate it in innumberable ways.

While I was still in the middle.

Now comes the tutorial... 

1. Start with a square piece of paper. Fold the paper in half horizontally and then verically, so the creases look like this.	2. Fold the four corners of the paper toward the center point

3. Fold the top and bottom of this square into the center and open out again to create these creases.	4. Open out the top and bottom triangular flaps.	5. Fold the sides of the model into the centre, creasing well.

6. Fold down top corner of model and then open out again.	7. Fold down model in the other direction	You should now have 2 new diagonal creases like this.

8. Repeat step 6 & 7 at the other end of the model, so you have the new creases at both ends.	9. At one end of the model,Open out model along the creases you just made. This will raise the top portion of the model vertically.

10. Fold top of model over into the box. Its taking shape!	11. Repeat Step 9 and 10 at the other end of the box... and its finished! To make a lid, just make another box, but start with a slightly bigger piece of paper.

 And it is done.

Regards.

(Part : 2) My Big One's 5th birthday preparationz... Give awayz (cake favour boxes)

hay all....
today i completed favour boxes and tomorrow hopefully ill make flowers for their decoration...
as per my last post here is the tutorial for making cake favour boxes. its just how to make cake favour boxes & their template... u can decorate it in any way u want...

I used 3 sheets of paper which were enough to make 27 boxes...

this is the template i used.

First of all i drew this template repetedly on my sheet,   

Then after drawing I cut all the pieces neatly.

 Then with an empty ball pen lines draw deep lines as shown 

(I used colored pen to show where to mark lines)

and fold on the lines, drawing lines will help folding neatly. 

with cutter cut the center of the template, the way shown in the pic.

Apply glue to these 2 sides.

now paste, press well from the inside with the help of any pen.

(u can use both hands, hehehe i used one as i was holding camera in other hand )

 Insert this extra paper in the cut to close the box.

your cake favour box is ready for decoration.

 WHILE I WAS BUSY WITH THIS..... this was happening on the other side...

gud day...
bye.
