Love Heart Bunting

OK - I have been milking the Valentine love heart sweeties theme - but here's one more blog post with the bunting on its own. Big it up for parties, or shrink it down as a gift wrap decoration.

Here's your free print-and-cut file:

Just cut out the hearts, fold them in half over baker's twine or a ribbon.
Secure each heart in place with a strip of d/s tape inside back, near the top opening.

Hope you have a great Valentine's Day.

Russian Doll Pockets: Print-and-Cut!

Papercraft Matryoshka: nested paper pockets.

The flip side is patterned, too!

The printout looks like this.

You guys are my guinea pigs. I'm learning how to create prints and patterns on the computer - early days, training wheels. These Russian Doll Pockets were the ideal project to try out some mixed ditsy prints on. 

This is a fun project to make whether you are entertaining a bored child over the summer break, or are getting an extreme headstart on festive decorations.

Here are your free print-and-cut files:

To make the Russian Doll Pockets: 
1. Cut out the template pieces, either by hand or by digital cutter. 
2. Fold the pocket flaps to the back. Align the folds with the base of the
matching Russian Doll. Glue the pocket flaps to the doll back.
3.With wrong sides facing, glue the doll backs to the doll fronts, matching corresponding doll sizes (of course). Finished.
4. Slip the dolls into the pockets and nest the dolls.

Have fun!
