Hi All!
I'm sorry I've been so inconsistent about updating my blog. I really HATE MS and its' baggage! I've learned over the past couple of years that the worst thing about living with a chronic illness, for me, is that everyday is different. Nothing is consistent, it's difficult to keep commitments and I hate it so, so, so much!!! I hate not being able to follow through with the things that I want and need to do. I'm working on trying accept it and I'm trying to figure out how to work around it. Anyway.... all of that is just to say Hi! I'm still here and I'm still creating when I am feeling up to it.
I wanted to share this witches hat I created this year. I'm currently OBSESSED with www.svgcuts.com cut files! This is not a sponsored post, nor have I used an affiliate link to their store. I just LOVE the designs and have purchased several and wanted to share with you. The assembly instructions for the 3D designs that I've purchased are so detailed. They also have video tutorials for many of the designs offered.
This witches hat comes from the Haunted Forest Collection. It's actually a box, but I added some hot glue to make it one piece. It's sooo sturdy! I wonder if Mary, the designer behind SVGCuts has an architectural background, because these designs are so detailed and so sturdy after assembling them! You can click the photos for a closeup view.
When I create 3D projects I usually use 100-120lb. weight cardstock, and or light or medium weight chipboard, and layer up the pieces. With this design, 100lb. weight cardstock was perfect! The file for this design includes 3 layers that make up brim of the hat which makes it really sturdy. I added some glitter tulle that I got from the Dollar Tree. It's super cute but I don't recommend it because the glitter fall out is the worst!
I created the flower using black crepe paper and adhered some glitter foam balls, also from the Dollar Tree! My local Dollar Tree has been stocking some fun crafty items lately. These are apart of their Christmas stock, you might be able to find some in your stores. I bought these in Sept. before they had a lot of Christmas stock out because I knew they would sell out quickly! They had them in gold, silver, & red.
I hope you all are doing well, thanks for stopping by today!
