Noah and I had the opportunity to participate in the AlexandAlexa Fruit
carving contest. The prize is £250 AlexandAlexa gift card. Here is my
entry:
This
was so much fun. I am not much of a carver but it was fun to try!
Noah decided he wanted us to do a traditional jack-o-lantern face. He
did the carving himself with a butter knife. I think it turned out
great for being made by a seven year old. His name is Eyeballs and
Brains.
I made these a while back and I thought I would do a how to for those who would like to make their own. They are really easy to make and are a lot of fun. They are embellished paper clips for all to enjoy. Just in time for Halloween or for your favorite little monster. You could use then for book marks too!
I decided to vlog while making these
Here are the supplies you will need:
Thin colored foam sheets (I got mine at a dollar store)
Scalloped circle punch – I have one from Stampin Up!
Jumbo Paper clips- not the standard size
Double sided tape
Glue dots
Googly eyes- two for each Monster you want to make.
1.punch out some scalloped circles. Punch out two for each monster you want to make.
2. Using double sided tape carefully tape the paper clip to one of the foam pieces half way down. Make sure the part that you insert paper in is down.
3. Using little pieces of double sided tape on the side where the paperclip is to secure the top of the monster.
4. Press the top foam piece on top
5. Using glue dots put on the googly eyes
And Ta-Dahh! you have Monster clips! I hope you enjoy this craft as much as I do!
