Handmade Mondays Papercut Patterns to Cut

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Silhouettes seem to be everywhere I look and I’m so intrigued. In fact, I’m going to try to make a cute framed Christmas Ornament I saw in a shop recently. One side of the frame was a Christmas sihouette and the the other side was a Christmas saying in a formal font. Very pretty. I’ll post them when I make them!
So, of course, I love this Handmade Monday kit I found at Etsy –


4 Original Papercut PRINTED PATTERNS. Ready to cut by yourself.

This kit is ready for you to cut out four scenes – Peter Rabbit, Little Red Riding Hood, Pinocchio, and Alice in Wonderland. Certainly an heirloom-quality gift for a baby’s room

Wow – I can’t wait to try this Paper Butterfly Picture!  As soon as I get caught up on a few other projects, I will sit down and play with a butterfly punch, a catalog image, and some sticky dots…  It’s that simple, really. Though I could only hope mine will come out anywhere near so pretty! Added to PaperCrafts and Spring Crafts

quilling

Isn’t that just a lovely quilled Fall bouquet? Find that and lots more quilling designs at Whimsiquills. There are designs for many holidays and seasons, plus a few perfect for baby and your manly men, too.  Try quilling for scrapbooking and card-making. There’s something very relaxing about fiddling with  little strips of paper and glue. Added to the Quilling section of Paper Crafts

I love this idea! I can think of so many fun ways to use Homemade Scratch-Off Lottery Tickets! In this tutorial, ArtMind uses them as a promotion for her crafts business. Party favors, gifts for services, or even, prank lottery tickets would be great. I’m sure you’ll want to bookmark this project. Besides, this is just fun and I like to know how to make cool things.

Two surprises in one craft project– 1) This is made from a toilet paper roll and 2) I’m not the only one who always saves a few of these in my stash..

Plus this is darn useful. Who doesn’t need a Gift Card Holder Tutorial? It’s quick and easy and adds that homemade touch to a kinda impersonal gift.  Added to Recycled Crafts and Card-Making

Awesome! Step-by-step directions to make a diaper card template. With photos!
