<br />
Fold the triangles in, overlap and tape down to create the base bookmark.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBeSLXf_DT7ipu52mXPJpXFmtmHgjsE7gMsreXRyLZbp__lWQ2lsJvwXS5UAa-IRDMA2CGCj_STbA9QV1ATtw00Z5WORAXIgH1_zMClevSW3NFGZ_-B9VS7K3dyQqhe2dRXhmWAlwdoQ/s1600/half+hearts+eyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBeSLXf_DT7ipu52mXPJpXFmtmHgjsE7gMsreXRyLZbp__lWQ2lsJvwXS5UAa-IRDMA2CGCj_STbA9QV1ATtw00Z5WORAXIgH1_zMClevSW3NFGZ_-B9VS7K3dyQqhe2dRXhmWAlwdoQ/s320/half+hearts+eyes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Turn the base bookmark over. Cut out two half hearts from a light cream color for the eye patches.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIRuo2VcBaKVSfAd83n2lG5tAIy3Y1XrnvXIOXb3idTHBT7GhoaoONmqo-ZT960oTDxIGDNBfyOMJ2bDtGygzXPM8A0hgo1p-KI8Rq-EifAukxjD1-bCxe4WZ_OujVcAvTcqnqOl6_SF8/s1600/eye+patches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIRuo2VcBaKVSfAd83n2lG5tAIy3Y1XrnvXIOXb3idTHBT7GhoaoONmqo-ZT960oTDxIGDNBfyOMJ2bDtGygzXPM8A0hgo1p-KI8Rq-EifAukxjD1-bCxe4WZ_OujVcAvTcqnqOl6_SF8/s320/eye+patches.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Make sure that the opening point is a the bottom on the base piece, tape the eye patches to the base.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiMAGHI2AXacarj2dmXdlzk9R3HwK92nhvfXTVuOCeR6CGwdFyuzTRP6mILrbnf5nqlf4pDKa4lwtj4Esgu872qcIinPpk-gh2EU8caGeSfxckE9z8Ea2SnIM_2UcFE0xgCodHilUnZqA/s1600/eyes+and+nose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiMAGHI2AXacarj2dmXdlzk9R3HwK92nhvfXTVuOCeR6CGwdFyuzTRP6mILrbnf5nqlf4pDKa4lwtj4Esgu872qcIinPpk-gh2EU8caGeSfxckE9z8Ea2SnIM_2UcFE0xgCodHilUnZqA/s320/eyes+and+nose.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I used black rhinestone stickers, 4mm for the eyes and 6mm for the nose.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZsYLgLCCIydERuhfl8Wdi6XOKBxYSOQ9B77pI4VWLY2zimGOepbOTplQOZn5HhAv6uR7lWCBbbPal-FA488FJ9z36DVsO2AnTDYbiNK4199aQ5JUpN8TxK-NYcvrpGSlYnQtCdz9rc0g/s1600/ears.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZsYLgLCCIydERuhfl8Wdi6XOKBxYSOQ9B77pI4VWLY2zimGOepbOTplQOZn5HhAv6uR7lWCBbbPal-FA488FJ9z36DVsO2AnTDYbiNK4199aQ5JUpN8TxK-NYcvrpGSlYnQtCdz9rc0g/s320/ears.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For the ears, I used one of the scrap triangles and placed it behind the head and slightly folded them over to get the ear size.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxyjj3cx8a8m7KMGMr9U9NQLtJjJPA-dDBKFV8cSD7_itgy-WsI09IT0TyDhOFBC_2jEd-L-vDTYUmHh59eZkq4i2tkYCfaNFWSn_X3OlH0QXQ72gQWNG0iCto_2TjC57rR0chkqh4lk/s1600/taping+ears.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxyjj3cx8a8m7KMGMr9U9NQLtJjJPA-dDBKFV8cSD7_itgy-WsI09IT0TyDhOFBC_2jEd-L-vDTYUmHh59eZkq4i2tkYCfaNFWSn_X3OlH0QXQ72gQWNG0iCto_2TjC57rR0chkqh4lk/s320/taping+ears.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, I cut them a little off from the fold line to create a tab for tape. Taped the ears behind.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUfdMJDe_9AlVsWQZJlS-c-CcvMUToM3Ig40p1jg1oTWJGBkI9mRiW6DuzisHJfs3LFhBMV4COnOroxHqFa6n0pyQfrZGCwerF_Aw7Po9MFel5zA9izF7eURXZTPJX6C-6HDMcuEQN_9c/s1600/finshing+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUfdMJDe_9AlVsWQZJlS-c-CcvMUToM3Ig40p1jg1oTWJGBkI9mRiW6DuzisHJfs3LFhBMV4COnOroxHqFa6n0pyQfrZGCwerF_Aw7Po9MFel5zA9izF7eURXZTPJX6C-6HDMcuEQN_9c/s320/finshing+back.jpg" width="304" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then to finish, I flipped it over, as you can see, it's not so pretty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoRG4C_H-r1iL5nL1cIGVInJD9Mk8hiFxWSnikvwhCewpxCHSxglD55He2aktkWRbdZD7r-mxrxaTv3HoomfpODJ3jDpaOzcKfJZ6ctHLyXj6-Pr71qcaPtc1QwZeR8ppZSDPKebGqvyo/s1600/taping+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoRG4C_H-r1iL5nL1cIGVInJD9Mk8hiFxWSnikvwhCewpxCHSxglD55He2aktkWRbdZD7r-mxrxaTv3HoomfpODJ3jDpaOzcKfJZ6ctHLyXj6-Pr71qcaPtc1QwZeR8ppZSDPKebGqvyo/s320/taping+back.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I took the other triangle piece and taped it over for a cleaner finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, you can use your finished fox for a bookmark or in a planner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by today and hope you are enjoying your last few official days of Summer!</div>

Keep Cool!It's a special Make It Monday because it is the start of a brand new school year! I've been thinking a lot lately about all my teacher friends and I think they are really COOL! So, why not make them a fan of their own?!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRgjJvX7BiHBqtUye-TdsjBzblBBHwq3PZgMxyZeSSjAxev42pBfv03cO7ZqxQGLPs64MGKnaUtlbWAVJgQJ4ovrFe-zfT20RP7TK1QQaMvduuMwAtVTLdNsnfxDwXdQUNKzhouo7YUM/s1600/fan+with+dies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRgjJvX7BiHBqtUye-TdsjBzblBBHwq3PZgMxyZeSSjAxev42pBfv03cO7ZqxQGLPs64MGKnaUtlbWAVJgQJ4ovrFe-zfT20RP7TK1QQaMvduuMwAtVTLdNsnfxDwXdQUNKzhouo7YUM/s320/fan+with+dies.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I chose some school-ish design printed paper and used the exclusive die at Ben Franklin to cut out the fan cover shape. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLfyxwdu2yOMybKrOUodLnjiqVd8Z66CvDarKVSUdgR1E1e1L51E696r2tBeERDRQMS2l0FwRKchVImUm6gt9vihamKM6fWz-tPQLsP9Ow2cgOEnIqaJmucv0BE2Rr4hqkMAhmiXSPT4/s1600/taping+fan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLfyxwdu2yOMybKrOUodLnjiqVd8Z66CvDarKVSUdgR1E1e1L51E696r2tBeERDRQMS2l0FwRKchVImUm6gt9vihamKM6fWz-tPQLsP9Ow2cgOEnIqaJmucv0BE2Rr4hqkMAhmiXSPT4/s320/taping+fan.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I placed some Meriken double stick tape all around the edge of the fan.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTl4QrvUv0gLpEKnHzwKayiTOGZhwrCvVaXB2NM2odLDm7PFHukP68Y0cZGRWgxErByYfoRnXV4MyArAaXvgmZGLd_gDLc-eH6xpRoSGj7hXTB5uvKNUsuhgERh823KN4uIFva59q2cs/s1600/bookshelf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTl4QrvUv0gLpEKnHzwKayiTOGZhwrCvVaXB2NM2odLDm7PFHukP68Y0cZGRWgxErByYfoRnXV4MyArAaXvgmZGLd_gDLc-eH6xpRoSGj7hXTB5uvKNUsuhgERh823KN4uIFva59q2cs/s320/bookshelf.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, I taped down the printed papers on each side of the fan. This is for my Bestie and she's the librarian of her school, so I used the bookshelf design on one side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB50H0vBUysProxkrrfdgKiL5VTvcwZYMCE46K6dv7_Q37OWkXs5zZ46IjR9LeQDJQ2-ydsKT8MRV6nt3w1Q7HX4r_Dtpj6zLO0hro0s4CTGgC4m_1pHP97befCEQ2DpSWBSNa8-ddGec/s1600/apples.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB50H0vBUysProxkrrfdgKiL5VTvcwZYMCE46K6dv7_Q37OWkXs5zZ46IjR9LeQDJQ2-ydsKT8MRV6nt3w1Q7HX4r_Dtpj6zLO0hro0s4CTGgC4m_1pHP97befCEQ2DpSWBSNa8-ddGec/s320/apples.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And traditional apples on the other side of the fan.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipf1a6cqQIrsKC63p9fAjhZLv729By2eqeefYTbOudgncx5BBRDNar6-AXXvZ_nkyzJy4Qrdkk7CWiDEE5AwDjZ_dAo2Gu0etOxSKdkBjf0KlLjFvf5Dt64t9rqGUfvzAfQ5dPSdLKL7A/s1600/stickers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipf1a6cqQIrsKC63p9fAjhZLv729By2eqeefYTbOudgncx5BBRDNar6-AXXvZ_nkyzJy4Qrdkk7CWiDEE5AwDjZ_dAo2Gu0etOxSKdkBjf0KlLjFvf5Dt64t9rqGUfvzAfQ5dPSdLKL7A/s320/stickers.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, I thought I would personalize the fan using some Varsity design Thicker Stickers!<br />
<br />
So easy to do, I hope she likes it! Thanks for stopping by today and I hope the new school year brings you lots of fun times, too!<br />
<br />

But when it's just a little sprinkle of rain and some sunshine, we get rainbows! So, thought I'd cheer you all up for Make It Monday with some quick and easy rainbows!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxOfNdzgw7lo8d2CrGzyk_8Vqt6j33IpMU0d5CmatkFovuuglOEgTONOIvXeRUZabwXthISqmm7oNgmMaRr5D7uoD41i6f582PQI-YuI77mntL6MIDeriy0qHtkc61g2GKTDWanCU4x6k/s1600/circles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxOfNdzgw7lo8d2CrGzyk_8Vqt6j33IpMU0d5CmatkFovuuglOEgTONOIvXeRUZabwXthISqmm7oNgmMaRr5D7uoD41i6f582PQI-YuI77mntL6MIDeriy0qHtkc61g2GKTDWanCU4x6k/s320/circles.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Using a nested circle die and your Big Shot, cut out some circles from cardstock in the colors of the rainbow. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKub0fzBo1NSKF4lfqYsIZgFppcUzaBLCf3KxMeKcAQ_-c09Ak6ON4ePlWxrqbQUuOIngnUNxT8Tyb1__JqMb-e6iIo2tMZMWB-rpzbctPt7i-712Orq_UiVlSTJ9RjHPXHx1oDr_Ftso/s1600/7.25+base+circle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKub0fzBo1NSKF4lfqYsIZgFppcUzaBLCf3KxMeKcAQ_-c09Ak6ON4ePlWxrqbQUuOIngnUNxT8Tyb1__JqMb-e6iIo2tMZMWB-rpzbctPt7i-712Orq_UiVlSTJ9RjHPXHx1oDr_Ftso/s320/7.25+base+circle.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Start with red for the largest circle and then down to purple for the smallest. You're actually cutting out circle frames, using two dies. Then, cut one large solid circle from a light blue that you would use for the sky.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw37oJkV9u-Xr5VRGxONrvEiJUUJxV9kH9tZHFkORe0O-MxWqmT9zFewwP6G78dJgMekbLRmlGCwvFa6lYnAxyLnBpm4ByOtXeA7ctpuQFu0fCPBHJIksS-CytYr_dWhxBESc85Raa7Ys/s1600/7.25+glued+circles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw37oJkV9u-Xr5VRGxONrvEiJUUJxV9kH9tZHFkORe0O-MxWqmT9zFewwP6G78dJgMekbLRmlGCwvFa6lYnAxyLnBpm4ByOtXeA7ctpuQFu0fCPBHJIksS-CytYr_dWhxBESc85Raa7Ys/s320/7.25+glued+circles.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glue the circles onto the large blue circle base.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place the glued circles onto the trimmer and cut in half.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, I thought I'd make some "65" decorations by using the WeR Alphabet Punch Board!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyHTVz6QfQm5GR7b-I-gmR8hjIN2DF3d7mAm_QLKTzQhKmo25SU8LsLkCc55m2bMtIjWJWie8-harIXo6ZDmsirrxOvcwwMoF9sAL3ce_PDUZ5F5GgzoCmZEx3GOOGrc_ZoypXLmJCoZ8/s1600/65+alpha+punch+bd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyHTVz6QfQm5GR7b-I-gmR8hjIN2DF3d7mAm_QLKTzQhKmo25SU8LsLkCc55m2bMtIjWJWie8-harIXo6ZDmsirrxOvcwwMoF9sAL3ce_PDUZ5F5GgzoCmZEx3GOOGrc_ZoypXLmJCoZ8/s320/65+alpha+punch+bd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This board can also make numbers besides all the alphabets and a few symbols. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Ia-XnEwyYKoti-ABJcyXihD5atBsArQbfYDA7RimbJF1hPAhtINMS2ovcyQ8USYRjWbRv2O9OOptl1gePiANxIFx8ClaO5tnRqWZdsRzRm5pNaT2sdZ04dIGReQYahXovhz3abhM9mU/s1600/65+cardstock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Ia-XnEwyYKoti-ABJcyXihD5atBsArQbfYDA7RimbJF1hPAhtINMS2ovcyQ8USYRjWbRv2O9OOptl1gePiANxIFx8ClaO5tnRqWZdsRzRm5pNaT2sdZ04dIGReQYahXovhz3abhM9mU/s320/65+cardstock.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Most numbers/alphabets just take a 3" x 5" piece of cardstock. Here, I have two 3" x 5" red glitter cardstocks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGobvtEEIyqVANodXbD2koB7amdk-I1SkBIco4XUt_feZbjww4rR-HZn1zCUbg6WJmgh5zDZ-fY0Lpf2u6HYnlpZNa0BJLN6ssEOBKJvshIumgfXzrX76H31mbDbuMGCux316aZgqUM1c/s1600/65+book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGobvtEEIyqVANodXbD2koB7amdk-I1SkBIco4XUt_feZbjww4rR-HZn1zCUbg6WJmgh5zDZ-fY0Lpf2u6HYnlpZNa0BJLN6ssEOBKJvshIumgfXzrX76H31mbDbuMGCux316aZgqUM1c/s320/65+book.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The most important thing is that the board comes with a book with step-by-step photos to make all of the alphabets and numbers. Keep it safely with your board so you don't lose it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I 'll make the "5". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7F758FSify5vUKAzdpmwM04tqhAdxVDBmq31rBI39gI8CwSal3P0c2a-cuWCqxslIL7xBfxM0QAjqXD2PBsgaEAKtlIdqPmAvFnQ1f0jp78MLhYhUbzTnykA7_RViCrmW6bnjk9n6wkk/s1600/65+first+step.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7F758FSify5vUKAzdpmwM04tqhAdxVDBmq31rBI39gI8CwSal3P0c2a-cuWCqxslIL7xBfxM0QAjqXD2PBsgaEAKtlIdqPmAvFnQ1f0jp78MLhYhUbzTnykA7_RViCrmW6bnjk9n6wkk/s320/65+first+step.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The first step is to insert the cardstock into this punch, lining up to the line on the board. Punch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVjcFTRhgjsxkGoVkPLh63s2m2zca0SQISYRRDB3Ey86BxDj350aPMcJznavAwIbmeBimBvtS3jukTENmrmT0PqL2RHlOdicvENtoYgXMKyi3cf4iFDC8hD6aE2Eu9Oc5i3fdtRO4Fe5g/s1600/65+step+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVjcFTRhgjsxkGoVkPLh63s2m2zca0SQISYRRDB3Ey86BxDj350aPMcJznavAwIbmeBimBvtS3jukTENmrmT0PqL2RHlOdicvENtoYgXMKyi3cf4iFDC8hD6aE2Eu9Oc5i3fdtRO4Fe5g/s320/65+step+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, flip the cardstock over and punch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR4X0ctLjzjxzpi0wOh5vnEJpZ0ALS3zjUO48I2AdGuwdKkFGyV-zBI1-5o32jHsBcE9-NvYWV_R2Qvete5_uLhnLZqLh9geMNp2w4wjh0DEL_JjZe6KAv7lALfAJQJTHkdRlWRHpMkd4/s1600/65+cutter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR4X0ctLjzjxzpi0wOh5vnEJpZ0ALS3zjUO48I2AdGuwdKkFGyV-zBI1-5o32jHsBcE9-NvYWV_R2Qvete5_uLhnLZqLh9geMNp2w4wjh0DEL_JjZe6KAv7lALfAJQJTHkdRlWRHpMkd4/s320/65+cutter.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, place the punched piece in the trimmer section. Remove the cutting blade tool from the board and place the rounded part in the different slots to trim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place the blade in the different slots and trim as indicated in the book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how it will look after the first two cuts.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE66eSPyLH1Q5HynCEamlFs82WP4S4hmyE77ZzGyer3tbntmEEu9AmH2tRY79ycaqZ7KVSYmibjFMzVKArQunZA4dcmWgM903-s2MOcwZzGcqSSlznTOJgPsgfIoUxckyPNve5omZ9BNk/s1600/65+cutting+bottom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE66eSPyLH1Q5HynCEamlFs82WP4S4hmyE77ZzGyer3tbntmEEu9AmH2tRY79ycaqZ7KVSYmibjFMzVKArQunZA4dcmWgM903-s2MOcwZzGcqSSlznTOJgPsgfIoUxckyPNve5omZ9BNk/s320/65+cutting+bottom.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turn the piece upside down to make the last cut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dk9-S4gy1DlRHIditvmdmQIOV75BlGcRfDR5Df93WhJS8alQPbUdbMJDdz4Gz4UnsoVgWVLdGG_z-T_pUeufLCWXBxWlTof4DefcCBEpQA5INOBqKDk-iDN6ZJCbRPzANUraTXSLgUY/s1600/65+trimming.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dk9-S4gy1DlRHIditvmdmQIOV75BlGcRfDR5Df93WhJS8alQPbUdbMJDdz4Gz4UnsoVgWVLdGG_z-T_pUeufLCWXBxWlTof4DefcCBEpQA5INOBqKDk-iDN6ZJCbRPzANUraTXSLgUY/s320/65+trimming.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, turn the piece on its side and trim. Isn't it starting to look like a "5"?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiatYI-CRa1hmjqPB9dnZCEPvyYoBEZuu4rmbzu8mGvf8e9ZK6dVlNQStxRt4-fY1m9iPPK3NnVxRo30q7CX3X3LQApDX5Jc41YEiLqe78hNzD6Z_KPsnw0K6OFyImehPToT0-Klv-rbYA/s1600/65+rounding+corners.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiatYI-CRa1hmjqPB9dnZCEPvyYoBEZuu4rmbzu8mGvf8e9ZK6dVlNQStxRt4-fY1m9iPPK3NnVxRo30q7CX3X3LQApDX5Jc41YEiLqe78hNzD6Z_KPsnw0K6OFyImehPToT0-Klv-rbYA/s320/65+rounding+corners.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Because this year's them was Health and Fitness, we decided to make Fruity Book Clips! They are super easy to make and are also great for you planner girls!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We had apples or watermelons to make using circle punches. For an apple, punch a 2" red circle and a 1.5" cream colored circle. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDHUyJsnuWB-jxbKRAjHojWoGhmvQX1s17ZlLZC6_qKF7A5jYgl9ywzo346FDTqLSnYCoRkJrLuXrmR9X083KsjLlQB7Nb7qIxOBOY1wjv4fZOc25wzPwPm8257QKPgevQkGcwby8kHc/s1600/library+glue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDHUyJsnuWB-jxbKRAjHojWoGhmvQX1s17ZlLZC6_qKF7A5jYgl9ywzo346FDTqLSnYCoRkJrLuXrmR9X083KsjLlQB7Nb7qIxOBOY1wjv4fZOc25wzPwPm8257QKPgevQkGcwby8kHc/s320/library+glue.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Fold both in half. Then, open up the cream colored circle and use a glue stick to add glue.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YaYn0-EYexQgEjTGfmoEH77p2OCcwcWr_IgxGTm8FA0h3enY_RMJHcfZsfS4xwoIMp_rW39I070Ygq9gbG7jKSsbHo0pJFzai68PaiV1kE8pNyoCoeYahXmEpSQsocLN5XzjOxBFX0A/s1600/library+seeds.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YaYn0-EYexQgEjTGfmoEH77p2OCcwcWr_IgxGTm8FA0h3enY_RMJHcfZsfS4xwoIMp_rW39I070Ygq9gbG7jKSsbHo0pJFzai68PaiV1kE8pNyoCoeYahXmEpSQsocLN5XzjOxBFX0A/s320/library+seeds.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Place the cream colored half over the red half circle and glue together. Next, take a marker and draw seeds or a face on both sides.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Qsgf554-C5fU5tufTZqQiwXh0Y5yctYH97z0wZ7yqPrK9F0ps8luCkjqfr6h50ACmF-nUqI8uBEiOmBwzNJ9O3ENXvOHtYwtIDkMn6boseLOgNw3ljhrDSjzejMLQdSDCPpqN8qHY7M/s1600/library+clip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Qsgf554-C5fU5tufTZqQiwXh0Y5yctYH97z0wZ7yqPrK9F0ps8luCkjqfr6h50ACmF-nUqI8uBEiOmBwzNJ9O3ENXvOHtYwtIDkMn6boseLOgNw3ljhrDSjzejMLQdSDCPpqN8qHY7M/s320/library+clip.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, take a pop up glue dot and stick it on the end of a jumbo paperclip. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmk0rkHg_L6VMBqmBouEyKcO0TdCGd-lCgAEjKYrAEqttkwGWf_HADmLD9qQT0QIdv8EYohOXm9fGckBna8H-3DsMmj9q4rU8czcJygFgSFqm9sLbhmVQnIiQlpWa878DEF3enmb3Yif0/s1600/library+glue+dot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmk0rkHg_L6VMBqmBouEyKcO0TdCGd-lCgAEjKYrAEqttkwGWf_HADmLD9qQT0QIdv8EYohOXm9fGckBna8H-3DsMmj9q4rU8czcJygFgSFqm9sLbhmVQnIiQlpWa878DEF3enmb3Yif0/s320/library+glue+dot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Place the clip inside of the apple and press together. Now, you have a clip to use as a bookmark.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-n8Ri4xqdAX6p6vdBMj9MR7mEwEkpnzcOyrOsnd1J3pLsvLvf9EgT0E-9EFSM7wFkY_1Qzi3BSqqoWd6Zm55EKAW5CebLCqvh4zB8s3LaJVLcC9kfsQGUE2Yp6v5X0QVPgPcWkIQ8q0/s1600/library+watermelon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-n8Ri4xqdAX6p6vdBMj9MR7mEwEkpnzcOyrOsnd1J3pLsvLvf9EgT0E-9EFSM7wFkY_1Qzi3BSqqoWd6Zm55EKAW5CebLCqvh4zB8s3LaJVLcC9kfsQGUE2Yp6v5X0QVPgPcWkIQ8q0/s320/library+watermelon.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To make the watermelon, punch a 2.5" circle from green and a 2" circle from pink. Follow the same steps as the apple to assemble.<br />
<br />
We really enjoy going to the libraries and meeting all of the families. Here is what Hardware Science looks like...<br />

The recent world tragedies had put a damper on my crafting spirit but now it's time to help the healing begin and let the goodness of crafting takeover!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, it's July and why is it that all I can think of is Christmas? </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBTdHhKmh0TpV_2_LdR1RZI6qUcZXJ4trG5J4sVDuFCI6q3NKfBpIyfYP8ISuHJRvsq1TXb6FSCIHB1G8iw8cDVusL0vuVTDiI0ZLXjMlBOvDu9d3ua9Q1qsVmWASpAzKwVWGqLo0p_-c/s1600/ornament+ver+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBTdHhKmh0TpV_2_LdR1RZI6qUcZXJ4trG5J4sVDuFCI6q3NKfBpIyfYP8ISuHJRvsq1TXb6FSCIHB1G8iw8cDVusL0vuVTDiI0ZLXjMlBOvDu9d3ua9Q1qsVmWASpAzKwVWGqLo0p_-c/s320/ornament+ver+1.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>
<br />
So, here's my quick fix for that, a simple ornament that you can do with the kids while they are still home for summer. Get ready and bust out your scrap papers and some circle punches!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ8lDuFCesojqv1uAV3eZfxogRVz-MwFemWs7B73YXgYkIKq-Qc9t6ZOKtja69mXdQoK6qFqgAgRiVYm7ez2h7zLMaYGFQ97DcUb2vvLnkZzphDCRd5Ddpu4OAc_1DUm87BEV3CqCb_1M/s1600/paper+ornmt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ8lDuFCesojqv1uAV3eZfxogRVz-MwFemWs7B73YXgYkIKq-Qc9t6ZOKtja69mXdQoK6qFqgAgRiVYm7ez2h7zLMaYGFQ97DcUb2vvLnkZzphDCRd5Ddpu4OAc_1DUm87BEV3CqCb_1M/s320/paper+ornmt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Use either circle punches or circle dies to punch out 8 circles, your size choice. For my sample, I used 2.5" circles. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOt0yTm_8p4FUYmIP3IW2k659_PWAQVpNnmSX7y7OveFlwHANGTNIje68-vXhTqLWAWKPjefBR4ucM_3bJFr768eR0J-DI7MKjcuaT2h-Ru-qhynnwzoCRhX-C2wAkRq8YJIhg-NWHWyc/s320/half+circles.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fold each circle in half with the right side print on the inside.</div>

To assemble, you can use either double-sided tape, glue stick or tacky glue, depending on the thickness of your papers. Don't use the tacky glue if your paper is thin. Place two circle halves together and glue together. Place two more sets together until you have glued four of your circles to each other.<br />

Add some metallic thread, ribbon or other pretty cord for the hanger. Take a 12" length and fold in half. Knot together about 2" from the center fold for the top of the hanger. <br />

Place the piece along the center of the glued together circles, leaving the knot at the top end. Glue cording in place, letting the cording ends come out on the other side. Continue gluing the rest of the circles in place.<br />

Let glue dry and your ornament is ready to hang. Make them in summery bright colors to use now to decorate for a summer end's party. Toss a bunch inside of clear vase for a centerpiece. Make them in other fun color combinations to use for later in the year to decorate your Christmas tree.<br />

<br />
Next, we have our favorite local chef, Derek Kurisu from KTA Superstores. KTA is celebrating their 100th Anniversary this year, so awesome for such a great local company! Congratulations to the KTA OHANA!<br />
<br />

<br />
Of, course, Derek never disappoints us! This time, we talk about graduation parties and all the supplies Ben Franklin carries. And when you have a party, you'll need some tasty food, like his Poke Sushi! It was so onolicious!<br />
<br />

<br />
And then we bring Chelsea back because there's a lot going on in June. Mapunapuna will be having their craft party on Saturday, June 25 from 12 noon - 3 pm. Chelsea shares one of the projects from their Alice in Wonderland themed event!<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you're including Ben Franklin Crafts in your Summer Plans! Happy Crafting!<br />

<br />
To get the jellyfish shape, you will need to round the edges. To do this, just hold the Styrofoam and press the edges into the table surface. It will"smash" the Styrofoam. Continue to press the edges against the table while rotating the half ball.<br />

While the Styrofoam is drying, cut some opalescent cellophane, curling ribbons and 6" green and blue glitter tulle into strips about 1/2" x 10" long for the jellyfish "legs". Carefully make small holes at the bottom of the Styrofoam jellyfish and glue in one end of the strips. Randomly place the different types of strips all around. Trim the strips if needed. <br />

To create the centerpiece, fill a low glass vase with green and blue marbles. Stick the jellyfish in the marbles. Add a few pieces of greenery. You can also add a t-lite buried in the marbles to create a glow effect.<br />

So, this week's Make It Monday is a refresher for those of you who may have forgotten how to fold one! <br />
<br />
As with all money origami, it's best to use clean and crispy dollars. For the frog, start with the face side of the dollar bill up.<br />

<br />
You can make a bunch and slip them into poly tubing to make a lei or use removable tape to add to a card.<br />
<br />
When I first learned how to fold this frog, I would practice making them and leave them as part of the tip when I ate out. It was a great conversation starter, too!<br />
<br />
You can make them hop by holding down the "butt" end and letting go. A good frog will hop and not flip over.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a "toad-ily" awesome week!<br />

Easy Card AttacherSometimes, you work so hard on your handmade card that you wish everyone could just see it all the time! So, why not just skip the envelope and have your card attached to the front of the gift bag? Today's Make It Monday shows you how simple this is to do! We even have a project sheet <a href="http://035874f.netsolhost.com/projectsheets/2016/05/16/gift-bag-card-attacher/">here.</a><br />
<br />
First get your gift bag, so you know how large your card can be. Then, make your card keeping the following in mind:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh66_0YSeNEAzz8rOrbuk4Y7lItoLv3rQVVlcRdk3XwTo7yLfEjtS3Nv9jc43r_wesLa-YRsapqTw4MmwfuQekKiKvMPBBzK6lpV6zTJ9_ZbZMnLPvRnTN_dQW1gtVNjb1flxbQ1gibAYc/s1600/gift+bag+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh66_0YSeNEAzz8rOrbuk4Y7lItoLv3rQVVlcRdk3XwTo7yLfEjtS3Nv9jc43r_wesLa-YRsapqTw4MmwfuQekKiKvMPBBzK6lpV6zTJ9_ZbZMnLPvRnTN_dQW1gtVNjb1flxbQ1gibAYc/s320/gift+bag+1.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>
<br />
The card will be "hanging" from the holder so the folded edge of the card should be along the top of the card, no matter what the design orientation is. The width of the card should be at least 1 inch smaller then the bag's width and its height should be at least 2 inches shorter than the bag.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVt7cggTsrue3UgG8JP01S-jLlnYSHRQxW58r5BZnAqTY89HD5a7uYe15XkObAgmTg4ZkrMFKvQ7TOog0LYSSAqXXGkARwAuMT_NI0LY20Pe7n9Sjxm05rP23QmJQgGGJMDmmKwrpwu4/s1600/card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="257" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVt7cggTsrue3UgG8JP01S-jLlnYSHRQxW58r5BZnAqTY89HD5a7uYe15XkObAgmTg4ZkrMFKvQ7TOog0LYSSAqXXGkARwAuMT_NI0LY20Pe7n9Sjxm05rP23QmJQgGGJMDmmKwrpwu4/s320/card.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
After you make the card, cut a strip of card stock at least 2 inches tall and 1 3/4 inches longer than the width of the card. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsLc3LGMfy_9nq_F0U83BMO0NO20RLLvIu1sYYHYXkHIDaCCJcJeaWXgrbvlhEXT_4shgPrCoRkJZkHyyDCWr-mZV1tw8JDgXzdoi4tXP093nwRzso2UsCp0T5zcVbDIXXl0NC3aXm3fY/s1600/2+inch+height.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsLc3LGMfy_9nq_F0U83BMO0NO20RLLvIu1sYYHYXkHIDaCCJcJeaWXgrbvlhEXT_4shgPrCoRkJZkHyyDCWr-mZV1tw8JDgXzdoi4tXP093nwRzso2UsCp0T5zcVbDIXXl0NC3aXm3fY/s320/2+inch+height.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For example, if your card is 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall, your card stock should be at least 2 inches tall and 5 3/4 inches long.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd88uEbIVwTaKfPmf_rYpRGvthxxt4l4dFHYUxU6Nhtb2I-NX553b8RGY_vZJyNmUt6NetkR2xIwIi5vVpdoKlyQVyc3fvT2-9QcBRXBDO-_iBrExO9qOx1uQ-8T1jWGWs3NFGeFWD0CU/s1600/one+inch+and+3-4+inch+marks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd88uEbIVwTaKfPmf_rYpRGvthxxt4l4dFHYUxU6Nhtb2I-NX553b8RGY_vZJyNmUt6NetkR2xIwIi5vVpdoKlyQVyc3fvT2-9QcBRXBDO-_iBrExO9qOx1uQ-8T1jWGWs3NFGeFWD0CU/s320/one+inch+and+3-4+inch+marks.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can use a craft knife with a metal edge ruler for the next step or a Fiskars Sure Cut paper trimmer. This paper trimmer has a wire cutting guide so you can measure and cut where you want in one step! Lay the card stock down in front lengthwise. Measure in 3/4" from each side and 1 inch down from the top. Cut a horizontal slit at this mark. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg787cD-CbYaZXj-idhOJd67GOr3j8jD-ObvM-5En0dkyB7OLyC1a2kVMgjIqCVl0lkw2O-FXFXEvr1Rv2ljHmL54UK8R3q32sMcDlPecpSIeIyKOHRvZwKiHkgcYrZN4WhrHj-S_WtqDc/s1600/1-4+inch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg787cD-CbYaZXj-idhOJd67GOr3j8jD-ObvM-5En0dkyB7OLyC1a2kVMgjIqCVl0lkw2O-FXFXEvr1Rv2ljHmL54UK8R3q32sMcDlPecpSIeIyKOHRvZwKiHkgcYrZN4WhrHj-S_WtqDc/s320/1-4+inch.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, measure down another 1/4 inch and cut another horizontal slit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsf7XgpYSZk4t4i3Sn8vGYYjlYAA-M5YePEW74kREh9NQ8JzEK2yFzEyENCf8tzoEdHfOR_2Mwa7eBpmSbU3Mbg-etmk0ntVGUch-GgEIxGDiYVqjQxn3pUCsKKqnPwIkfhYAtzA_b1uA/s1600/trimming+slot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsf7XgpYSZk4t4i3Sn8vGYYjlYAA-M5YePEW74kREh9NQ8JzEK2yFzEyENCf8tzoEdHfOR_2Mwa7eBpmSbU3Mbg-etmk0ntVGUch-GgEIxGDiYVqjQxn3pUCsKKqnPwIkfhYAtzA_b1uA/s320/trimming+slot.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut the two sides between the slits to create a 1/4 inch tall slot. The slot will be 1/4" longer than the card's width to make it easier to slip the card on and off. You can now use a decorative edge punch, scissors or dies to add interest to the top edge. Or you can just round all four corners. Put double stick tape along the top 1 inch section. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB95Gc13SU6pzbyiLZxqb4cRMsYZk7n16kWnTzKW0TJ4U3Oo_WAI0YtTAN2OUiSWcvvfe9wL6zI_lGehQKZsrsqgF6roFsE8n5H2cmv9GBimbX6jsmnFOtiJ9k4VjY0HLk4KXGBIv5Bjk/s1600/gift+bag+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB95Gc13SU6pzbyiLZxqb4cRMsYZk7n16kWnTzKW0TJ4U3Oo_WAI0YtTAN2OUiSWcvvfe9wL6zI_lGehQKZsrsqgF6roFsE8n5H2cmv9GBimbX6jsmnFOtiJ9k4VjY0HLk4KXGBIv5Bjk/s320/gift+bag+2.jpg" width="274" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Center the piece onto the front of the gift bag and tape down. Slip the card into the slot and you're done!</div>

Here's a <a href="http://035874f.netsolhost.com/projectsheets/2016/05/09/flip-book/">project sheet</a> to make one. Or, you can follow the steps below...<br />
<br />
First, you need to make the book. Since you will be stamping and coloring, you want to use paper that will withstand the inks but you still need it to be thin and flexible enough to "flip". I used marker paper for my book.The marker paper was 9" x 12" so I cut it down to 3" x 4.5" pieces for the pages. I got about 32 pages together. Make sure that the 3" edge that will be flipped through is all neatly aligned. Then, staple the other end to make the book, about three staples. The cover will be added later.<br />
<br />
For the stamp, choose a design that lends itself to animation, like this dandelion design bee design. <br />
<br />

<br />
Take a scratch paper the size of a page and stamp out what the final design on the last page would look like. Then, stamp the complete path the animation would go. You can also draw in a line with arrows to show the direction.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-oA058wF2pRZfuJPI63u4lQinSUGI_ihg5Z5kSa8di5AcGluV6e6dWG52xB0cN5RRnjM1LWz5SPX2O8wDpvT_GuATW9rgLeKQzpR7NRF2SkmBdXPF6JTBP6vXys2-PqVOMcpw8AwTkSU/s1600/template+behind+page.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-oA058wF2pRZfuJPI63u4lQinSUGI_ihg5Z5kSa8di5AcGluV6e6dWG52xB0cN5RRnjM1LWz5SPX2O8wDpvT_GuATW9rgLeKQzpR7NRF2SkmBdXPF6JTBP6vXys2-PqVOMcpw8AwTkSU/s320/template+behind+page.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Now to start stamping! Stamp from the last page in the book and go backwards. Place the designed scratch paper behind the last page and use it as a guide to where to stamp. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Continue following the path of the design "backwards" and stamping on each page. <br />

<br />
You should be able to see the previous stamped design when you turn down the next page. Use that as a guide to where to stamp.<br />
<br />
After you have completed the stamping, go back and color in the design with makers or colored pencils. Put a scratch paper behind the page before coloring so the markers do not bleed through.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAAKvGRLR6I03BVfJiLhB3VSE5cuMbpwS-G55l6Ta47-fsdDfpIHYQ9MjHM7GdyabgddZME6g3k44UaRvrqrXFSbD3bNfvf6-teWfCEFLXGd39flprr8ZKygtGprdQ29MHXHU7Zjd96qU/s1600/flip+book+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAAKvGRLR6I03BVfJiLhB3VSE5cuMbpwS-G55l6Ta47-fsdDfpIHYQ9MjHM7GdyabgddZME6g3k44UaRvrqrXFSbD3bNfvf6-teWfCEFLXGd39flprr8ZKygtGprdQ29MHXHU7Zjd96qU/s320/flip+book+cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For the cover, cut a cardstock 3" high and 9 1/4" wide. Score at the 4 1/2" and 4 3/4" points to create a spine. Put a couple of lines of Meriken double stick tape along the spine and tape the book in place. decorate the cover as you like.<br />
<br />
Thumb fan the pages a couple times to break in the pages and get them used to being flipped. Then enjoy your little homemade old school "video"! Check out the video at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Joy-of-Crafting/137088719707876?sk=wall">the Joy of Crafting Facebook page</a><br />

Well, I know all the Spam lovers were probably checking out the Spam Jam this past weekend in Waikiki. And, I bet there's a lot of empty Spam cans from the event! So, this week's Make It Monday salutes last month by honoring both Spam and Earth Month with a recycled Spam can...<br />

First, clean your empty Spam can and make sure it's dry before you start. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Take a 3 1/8" x 11" printed cardstock to line the inside of the can. Add double stick tape to the top and bottom of the wrong side of the cardstock. Place the cardstock inside of the can and tape down, overlapping the edges. The cardstock should be tall enough to cover the edge of the can so there isn't anything sharp.<br />
<br />

<br />
First, we have James from HouseMart's Market City Ben Franklin Crafts. He'll show us some great ideas for personalizing Graduate Sign Boards. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFgS-_6uynEIwFv_Y8nv7_4IxjGLHVbZryU6j-o3kNvDnHewtChpOlKfOxmFo94ifkuq9VdbswPt-B3fgi04ibUD3VH2x5AuBQXiegsH_wPUeFSHhuazbVE6hW2Z6bYper2pKWcf3KLqI/s1600/303+may+16+-+1+Tiger+Card+Box+chest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFgS-_6uynEIwFv_Y8nv7_4IxjGLHVbZryU6j-o3kNvDnHewtChpOlKfOxmFo94ifkuq9VdbswPt-B3fgi04ibUD3VH2x5AuBQXiegsH_wPUeFSHhuazbVE6hW2Z6bYper2pKWcf3KLqI/s320/303+may+16+-+1+Tiger+Card+Box+chest.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>
<br />
And then he shows us a bonus project! A really cool card box for a grad party using a HM High sticker design as an idea.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKfv4JFQVf7G_pmG75uyN0-HeDhFic3fNGqShh1jUiHCW3z-QTlhK1xeSp_IRY-gDslrnxRlz5dUM_D93BTp1HwV3TYWWuhZ8uCcmZKJKuKygqA3vQ5qxlAHS6ot9WDkTyf4YO4VxLemQ/s1600/303+-+may+16+-+1+Jeanne+Memorial+day+leis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKfv4JFQVf7G_pmG75uyN0-HeDhFic3fNGqShh1jUiHCW3z-QTlhK1xeSp_IRY-gDslrnxRlz5dUM_D93BTp1HwV3TYWWuhZ8uCcmZKJKuKygqA3vQ5qxlAHS6ot9WDkTyf4YO4VxLemQ/s320/303+-+may+16+-+1+Jeanne+Memorial+day+leis.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, we have a special guest, Jeanne Ishikawa, Deputy Director from the City and County of Honolulu's Parks and Recreation department. Jeanne shows us how to make a basic fresh flower lei and tells us about how everyone can help with making lei for Memorial Day at the Veteran cemeteries like Punchbowl. Every year there is a last minute call for lei, so we thought we'd get the word out early!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7qFpWl0tjzJ_vriqOy4BU9vm_FbHInm1XjUetDMcXQbfyaK6vr8S3KFfyxXOUOCk5vkVdTL9BozVZYZGjlogQps_4hRuLt3AXISLIc3hzwVpa3NJYrPMG4TmeowoMoIlxHT0hxS1jkl8/s1600/303-+may+1+Julie+grad+cap+favor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7qFpWl0tjzJ_vriqOy4BU9vm_FbHInm1XjUetDMcXQbfyaK6vr8S3KFfyxXOUOCk5vkVdTL9BozVZYZGjlogQps_4hRuLt3AXISLIc3hzwVpa3NJYrPMG4TmeowoMoIlxHT0hxS1jkl8/s320/303-+may+1+Julie+grad+cap+favor.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Lastly, Julie from our HouseMart Enchanted Lake Ben Franklin Crafts, shares a fast and easy grad party favor idea! And she shows us a new tool to make tassels really quick!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a crafty fun week!<br />
<br />

Make You Smile!Last week, we wanted to add some cheer with our felt sunflower. This week, we want to add some smiles with a simple faux terrarium! It's so easy to put together! We even have a <a href="http://035874f.netsolhost.com/projectsheets/2016/04/25/jar-of-smiles/">project sheet</a> !<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
First, pick some fun stamp critter designs that you want to inhabit your little world. Here, we stamped and colored some of dandelion designs' cute pandas. Carefully cut them out leaving a little border and set them aside for now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnCLEBsHIKIok3gtpCDjzirzlWjJfrflsXtpq8xSRciBNAAGbgUDxxCZGXhTeLmc8shaBws5wjRXqe4Z8X45OjporhyLVYS_epjZo7-ouvQceZKbB1uNzjTrKTZzPZZ7LhVISqUPwq4jk/s1600/planting+leaves.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnCLEBsHIKIok3gtpCDjzirzlWjJfrflsXtpq8xSRciBNAAGbgUDxxCZGXhTeLmc8shaBws5wjRXqe4Z8X45OjporhyLVYS_epjZo7-ouvQceZKbB1uNzjTrKTZzPZZ7LhVISqUPwq4jk/s320/planting+leaves.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Take a piece of floral foam or in this case Styrofoam and cut to fit the mason jar you are going to use. Cut apart some greenery bush and stick into the foam to create your little "forest". Glue them in if necessary.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQmhrJhncY0rBAXgFSKq8HtVfVXucV70eLWam3RBrueCq9MYVLlOpSH6tTMeLKl6QiASlHfvtU1SUtkdQyxBQepkpufvhNVVlJCbr8b79r-ZfXg6UkbE5UH5mQAEAbZXuAo6Jo0Q69xJg/s1600/covering+base+moss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQmhrJhncY0rBAXgFSKq8HtVfVXucV70eLWam3RBrueCq9MYVLlOpSH6tTMeLKl6QiASlHfvtU1SUtkdQyxBQepkpufvhNVVlJCbr8b79r-ZfXg6UkbE5UH5mQAEAbZXuAo6Jo0Q69xJg/s320/covering+base+moss.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Cover the foam with reindeer moss. making sure to get in between the plants.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now, take your stamped images and place them within your plants. Use a little glue to hold them in place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQkzxArSTmPGIp5_mNF9Qn2T0mc5JgMfGpBC0bw7Ki4Nd9W3k8BXIfIP9OPThN9gwyzeMjwjp8EMWAne8-kTp7RRHqgXYNf0dX3BWaji0WVYCfSY7CArgxz7rdfQjq71k7zUFrOLTj89o/s1600/pandas+in+the+jar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQkzxArSTmPGIp5_mNF9Qn2T0mc5JgMfGpBC0bw7Ki4Nd9W3k8BXIfIP9OPThN9gwyzeMjwjp8EMWAne8-kTp7RRHqgXYNf0dX3BWaji0WVYCfSY7CArgxz7rdfQjq71k7zUFrOLTj89o/s320/pandas+in+the+jar.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Take the whole piece and place it inside of the mason jar. Add a little more moss around the edges if necessary. You can add in firefly lights, too!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_4dAnA8DbjBVRWSF3tjrHSBlk3i0PCsy4JDWEW2ER-QKoGlSyKjZafr_r4FlPMgWSxWqg_iMhDfxr9K-6on3jpOM0Rmj9IUiuBPNDkwzolLMJeDTDvg1DO6XxKG7UbBYqdWZjym3jXvs/s1600/smile+topper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_4dAnA8DbjBVRWSF3tjrHSBlk3i0PCsy4JDWEW2ER-QKoGlSyKjZafr_r4FlPMgWSxWqg_iMhDfxr9K-6on3jpOM0Rmj9IUiuBPNDkwzolLMJeDTDvg1DO6XxKG7UbBYqdWZjym3jXvs/s320/smile+topper.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Our first guest, Bette Kalohi, is new to the show and has a great craft to share!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Bette and her friends raise butterflies. Sometimes, those beautiful creatures do not make it. So, Bette takes their wings and makes jewelry from them to perpetuate their legacy. Her technique is similar to using pressed flowers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next, our favorite chef, Derek Kurisu of KTA Superstores is back with a great idea for graduates heading to college on the mainland. What better way to chase away the homesick blues than with a Spam Musubi! You need to see how he puts this local treat together!<br />
<br />

<br />
We are so honored to have our last guest return to the show. Kuana Torres Kahele has "Making Lei 2" DVD coming out in May and we get a sneak preview of one of the new leis!<br />
<br />
Kuana shows us how to make a beautiful shell lei using inexpensive shells. Kuana is also returning to our stores for free demonstrations starting on Thursday, May 12 at our Enchanted Lake store. Be sure to check with your favorite HouseMart Ben Franklin Crafts store to see when Kuana will be in your neighborhood.<br />

I know for a lot of you, planners help you stay on top of all the things you HAVE to do and even the things you WANT to do. One popular style is the Midori Traveler's Notebooks. These consist of a bunch of individual notebooks held together in one cover. The system allows you to switch out notebooks with ease. I use this system and I like the idea of being able to have individual notebooks for different things. For instance, I have one set up to keep track of my reading for this year.<br />
<br />
Midori sells a lot of different notebook inserts but it's so easy to make your own, too! Here's some easy steps...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiai2EndoiLhqQAqV3c9aEE3ml6cP9TRPmuT9pMv663xUDZnyTAMr3f0WqIIV3yPmTnn5C7bktx6OkdAYx5KnGtzjk3lcgquJHTdOHW6VBz6lvy1Mz8CG1AGD-LB4TPPqTjxL08jgpkSCE/s1600/4.11.+MTN+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiai2EndoiLhqQAqV3c9aEE3ml6cP9TRPmuT9pMv663xUDZnyTAMr3f0WqIIV3yPmTnn5C7bktx6OkdAYx5KnGtzjk3lcgquJHTdOHW6VBz6lvy1Mz8CG1AGD-LB4TPPqTjxL08jgpkSCE/s320/4.11.+MTN+cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Determine the size you want to make. In this case, the notebooks are 4.25" x 8.25", similar to the regular Midori size. Choose a double sided scrapbook paper. This is a great way to use up your stash!<br />
Cut the cardstock 8.5" W x 8.25" H. Place it on the Martha Stewart Score Board with the 8.5" edge along the top. Score at the 4.25" mark.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7RNeJ_iL21GETI-J749cTnixtoyPmW7OF0k5cHpK9gAG0Nm5IIfR098yDmn8wHkb728BJ0dIZsGGQGiIHdzbE_xpOYz9ZFOIaDELBVUbJJVgDGUYdbizj6Q9Jm8GCyrEiZ1P9FtaDUGU/s1600/4.11.+MTN+copy+paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7RNeJ_iL21GETI-J749cTnixtoyPmW7OF0k5cHpK9gAG0Nm5IIfR098yDmn8wHkb728BJ0dIZsGGQGiIHdzbE_xpOYz9ZFOIaDELBVUbJJVgDGUYdbizj6Q9Jm8GCyrEiZ1P9FtaDUGU/s320/4.11.+MTN+copy+paper.jpg" width="316" /></a></div>
<br />
Do the same for the paper you chose for the inside of the notebook. You can use copy paper, drawing paper even watercolor paper. It all depends on what you want to do with your notebook. The thicker the paper, the less pages you will put in the notebook to keep it from being too bulky. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMEPQevjWvnmo8cvf0q2sESvEB1QN0UDpAjS5UxUAGaF4ZNpK52Pd8Hc3CoQ5tHE_Q6yRWnMxng3Chau2NijuOvEenuf4hqZtV4tDR-DoVye_FntkNs2qWaIFwNsByWey2YHr6_T-Hfig/s1600/4.11.+MTN+prep+staple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMEPQevjWvnmo8cvf0q2sESvEB1QN0UDpAjS5UxUAGaF4ZNpK52Pd8Hc3CoQ5tHE_Q6yRWnMxng3Chau2NijuOvEenuf4hqZtV4tDR-DoVye_FntkNs2qWaIFwNsByWey2YHr6_T-Hfig/s320/4.11.+MTN+prep+staple.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Take the cardstock and place it on top of the stack of "pages" and align edges. TIP: You can use small binder clips to hold the papers together when stapling. Place the stack onto an old magazine or stack of newspapers. Position the stapler to staple onto the scored middle line. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT8H6iTvsxQlkHY3GuvW3ZEIxqahZdrpwRIbzEeyhOhuhEAFDoy1QG3b_uJ_XbDxHaXdXc7mMvmxq_HBh6G6F3aciEYg_E_O_9eK76tAqzL2ZCfy6u9zVWWMucLRpVWZ-sPBtlSpv-5eY/s1600/4.11.+MTN+staple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT8H6iTvsxQlkHY3GuvW3ZEIxqahZdrpwRIbzEeyhOhuhEAFDoy1QG3b_uJ_XbDxHaXdXc7mMvmxq_HBh6G6F3aciEYg_E_O_9eK76tAqzL2ZCfy6u9zVWWMucLRpVWZ-sPBtlSpv-5eY/s320/4.11.+MTN+staple.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Staple at least there places: one in the center, one at the top and one at the bottom about 1" away from the edges.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wednesday, April 6 is National Twinkie Day! While I'm not a super Twinkie fan (I prefer Hostess Cupcakes) I do love them as a cake decorating surface! Back in the day when I was teaching Wilton Cake Decorating, Twinkies were a fun way to practice our skills without having to bake a cake. Being from Hawaii, one of my favorite designs was the Hula Girl made with the banana Twinkies they used to make, those had a nice warm brown color.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make some icing or use the Readymade Wilton Decorator Icing in white. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpiQ1IBAuEybmnoCSkZi_SFPIxQfItaJ47u84ES_62AkiZvuCuPGN_EoKw0KZNXtDsLkoIY7DUpu3diqwdfAufwHk4519FIwW9Sqgd2gEuCSlAtQgbqUrugRW5vyVpeCBMjYv9sOja830/s1600/Hula+twinkie+icing+colors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpiQ1IBAuEybmnoCSkZi_SFPIxQfItaJ47u84ES_62AkiZvuCuPGN_EoKw0KZNXtDsLkoIY7DUpu3diqwdfAufwHk4519FIwW9Sqgd2gEuCSlAtQgbqUrugRW5vyVpeCBMjYv9sOja830/s320/Hula+twinkie+icing+colors.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Use the Wilton Icing colors to make the different colors you need. Don't use food coloring, it has too much liquid and can alter the icing consistency.The best way to add color is with toothpicks. Poke a toothpick through the foil wrapper and get some color on it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhFKjWtrMsYzA6bYUXIBZevT44Ne8n2EKJSIrQO4ZBwpdxAvARt8svaRMPJrw5J6lBT0_DuKjmF2_GvWZaS1o8g3Gygi0KlGQma7mzjtcRXAYvFZwvofgA7OB_6bY-6uuq7zCOXsfZTlA/s1600/adding+icing+colors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhFKjWtrMsYzA6bYUXIBZevT44Ne8n2EKJSIrQO4ZBwpdxAvARt8svaRMPJrw5J6lBT0_DuKjmF2_GvWZaS1o8g3Gygi0KlGQma7mzjtcRXAYvFZwvofgA7OB_6bY-6uuq7zCOXsfZTlA/s320/adding+icing+colors.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Stick the toothpick into the white icing and stir. Always use a clean toothpick to add more color.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUmdv_MtCGM2NgbB3pdTWkwEgo_GAEx-bWT7ht_SzYQypCl_JGCgphLCmzQwjIxj6uTi_AwqcbVrVkXC-Pn4MfZ_7lNwCTVLlGxOPEt-NwKG8oGtzqEpt1_9E5F2q4zIw-bYdjQDo9wa8/s1600/piping+hair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUmdv_MtCGM2NgbB3pdTWkwEgo_GAEx-bWT7ht_SzYQypCl_JGCgphLCmzQwjIxj6uTi_AwqcbVrVkXC-Pn4MfZ_7lNwCTVLlGxOPEt-NwKG8oGtzqEpt1_9E5F2q4zIw-bYdjQDo9wa8/s320/piping+hair.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I like to start with the hair first. For the hair, I mixed up a little brown icing and I used the #47 Basketweave tip to make some beautiful wavy hair. Use with the serrated edge facing up to get the line texture. TIP: For better coverage, you can spread a little icing on before piping the hair on.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_3jYr5CrSRtAjD58-OLJmt-h4-MINJ0mO6EkP9ur7VY60WbkvTbdPuRvCfG9DaqeubKR6tqu7yIL8AHNa6HxFsILX7AKfmowj5FCg-p3zYq28tcBDILQ3VMGPeL_2xctD4Lwp-6d8Q3c/s1600/Hair+done.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_3jYr5CrSRtAjD58-OLJmt-h4-MINJ0mO6EkP9ur7VY60WbkvTbdPuRvCfG9DaqeubKR6tqu7yIL8AHNa6HxFsILX7AKfmowj5FCg-p3zYq28tcBDILQ3VMGPeL_2xctD4Lwp-6d8Q3c/s320/Hair+done.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make the hair as long as you like, styled as you want, have fun!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTh6oCz2BnCv9X3ZGjVT2-tvFOENC8sv0TyHEM49-qeuwcfFPWTuQFa6rzj3p5phdBIpCbieB0A-6kHrHqh2PL3aL6fX3KBqit61BCQ5p0vWvpcTFtlUEBvoTAXESNOoLCK5G7y3mVphk/s1600/Hula+skirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTh6oCz2BnCv9X3ZGjVT2-tvFOENC8sv0TyHEM49-qeuwcfFPWTuQFa6rzj3p5phdBIpCbieB0A-6kHrHqh2PL3aL6fX3KBqit61BCQ5p0vWvpcTFtlUEBvoTAXESNOoLCK5G7y3mVphk/s320/Hula+skirt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For the body, I used the #47 Basketeweave with green icing to make the grass skirt. You can use other tips like rounds or even #233 Grass, test to see how you want the skirt to look.Starting from the midpoint of the Twinkie, I make rows of the green strips around the Twinkie.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuhrhWY-P2ehKvWFgEI0OsLozJCtMLzXV3njO93t70pUx7KXvZbL0tisUEnUQxvpz-F4XWM-TTjH68MEVMUL8bTNPnTb0srlDAIbirPUH6fl_IIqWCmK0D_sdanUXHxzfUYfBV1RxFwY/s1600/eyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuhrhWY-P2ehKvWFgEI0OsLozJCtMLzXV3njO93t70pUx7KXvZbL0tisUEnUQxvpz-F4XWM-TTjH68MEVMUL8bTNPnTb0srlDAIbirPUH6fl_IIqWCmK0D_sdanUXHxzfUYfBV1RxFwY/s320/eyes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, I used the #5 Round tip to make two white dots for the eyes. A little later, I will add a dot of black gel to the center for the eyes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg77fux81MzeI9PEvAi_EMSYbhHjnpPVjVtuk1mdqWCIC_jm-fZKApdv283XgJYgupht74eESII_-bRQ3mhT2zQFoH8qCFicjfMmMXsxUxFCsQoPekwrEKAZ8CGdPPca2QK43VDW7AKcDA/s1600/prep+for+coconuts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg77fux81MzeI9PEvAi_EMSYbhHjnpPVjVtuk1mdqWCIC_jm-fZKApdv283XgJYgupht74eESII_-bRQ3mhT2zQFoH8qCFicjfMmMXsxUxFCsQoPekwrEKAZ8CGdPPca2QK43VDW7AKcDA/s320/prep+for+coconuts.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I also use the #5 tip and white icing to make two patches above the skirt for the coconut bra. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvpEgEZISv40JEhvKSOks9wRrFcjH_aLUxjlOt_wMS0mD9Kz65sezorGKStOffGFG5u3Q80tGTrleao5rEpHrfVbpKGD7VCCME9vB7vhQSmQ_uZDfO24-TdC3FdjSIq_p-Wb_ZPXx8deY/s1600/coconut+bra+and+eyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvpEgEZISv40JEhvKSOks9wRrFcjH_aLUxjlOt_wMS0mD9Kz65sezorGKStOffGFG5u3Q80tGTrleao5rEpHrfVbpKGD7VCCME9vB7vhQSmQ_uZDfO24-TdC3FdjSIq_p-Wb_ZPXx8deY/s320/coconut+bra+and+eyes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
You can make large icing circles in brown but I like to use Whoppers for the coconut bra top.<br />
The icing helps to hold them in place.<br />
.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqB4My2c8kGqSThX33z4JZVAS9fvTchWZcGyPxVaUoU-XhChT3-k5R5ExA6M2UQGPTbRqQq-biSI9V4RqhqbuzbhYKhpWkoF3RGu9lewofwbNduQnEaG7w2N9nyAX8E2KzGQJKjnOrd8A/s1600/adding+lei.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqB4My2c8kGqSThX33z4JZVAS9fvTchWZcGyPxVaUoU-XhChT3-k5R5ExA6M2UQGPTbRqQq-biSI9V4RqhqbuzbhYKhpWkoF3RGu9lewofwbNduQnEaG7w2N9nyAX8E2KzGQJKjnOrd8A/s320/adding+lei.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The finishing touch is make a lei around the neck. Use a Star tip to make a ruffle around the neck for a lei. You can also put a flower in her hair. I used #18 Star tip.<br />
