Thanks for this class. I am just following along right now.

[Kimandasmo]

I know I will be doing more for other holidays as well... it was really easy and turned out super cute!

[Kimandasmo]

Next you are going to cut some circles from your pattern papers...you will need 5 1 inch circles for each triangle. ( I had a total of 30 circles) After you have your circles cut...you will need to cut them in half.

After you have them cut in half you are going to adhere them to the backside of each triangle , to create a sort of border...like this one.

After I adhered all the circles, I haphazardly applied some liquid adhesive around the edges of the circles and sprinkled with glitter( this is optional, but I like things sparkly and blingy!) I then set them aside to dry while I made my rosettes.

[Kimandasmo]

You will need to cut one 3x12 inch piece of black cardstock for each triangle( I had 6)
You are then going to fan fold each piece in 1/2 inch increments.

That is so stinking cute! I love it. Great class ya'll! I can't wait to see the finish product!

[Heidi1154]

Really cute!
I am again turning out to be to slow to follow along so will do it at my own pace!

[craftyfool]

Oh I LOVE the 1/2 circles. So cute!

[Kimandasmo]

I score mine before I fold so that I am sure my folds will be even.
(Tip: When scoring, make your first score at the 1/2 inch mark, then flip your paper and make your next score on the backside, and continue to alternate for each score. That way when you are ready to fold your scores will help you to fold in the right direction.)

After you have your paper folded, it should look like this.

I am loving this....Halloween, Christmas, Birthday....the possibilities are endless.....can't wait to get home and try it!!

[Kimandasmo]

You are now going to tie it tight in the middle with black thread. ( I used green here so you could see it) You want to make sure that it is tight, and you want to make sure that it is exactly in the middle ( or your edges will not line up when you adhere them.)

[Kimandasmo]

Next you are going to adhere ( or hot glue which is what I did) 2 of your ends together like this.

[Kimandasmo]

Then you will adhere your other side. You may have to work with your rosettes a little to get the fold separated evenly.

You can set these aside for a minute. You now need to cut/punch one 2 inch circle of pattern paper for each of your triangles ( I punched 6)
Next you are going to adhere these to middle of your rosettes ( I used hot glue here as well)
Then place your glittered letters on the center of each circle. Your completed rosettes and circles and letters should like similar to this.

[Aimeeee]

That banner is adorable!

[Kimandasmo]

We are getting there... Now punch a hole in the top corners of each of your letters.


Next, cut each of the ribbons into 12 inch pieces and tie your triangles together like so. Then set aside for the last steps.

[Kimandasmo]

You will need enough popsicle sticks to have one between each triangle. ( I was not thinking and I did 6, but only needed 5)

You need to ink each one of these with black ink making sure to get the sides as well.
( Optional-- you may then cover each one with liquid adhesive and cover with black glitter...I did this because as we now I love all things sparkly and glittery)

[thennic]

This is so adorable! I'm totally going to make something like this when I get home from work (whoops, yes I'm at work right now!) I can't wait. Love the rosettes!

[MarthaT]

Very cool!
