Two versions of the carousel.  The one on the left does not have the box base. I love carousels.  I remember as a child going on carousel rides in Asbury Park, NJ in the summer. I wanted to recreate these memories in making this design. This carousel really spins because there is an axle built into the center of the carousel.  It took about 30 minutes to cut this design with my Cameo Silhouette machine and about 60 minutes to put it together.  I think the effort is well worth it. Here is the PDF. The directions are for the yellow, blue and red design carousel. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYZjFsa3ZLYTJvbDA/edit?usp=sharing Here is the .Studio file.  I used cardstock. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYNGRQYTJVZksyc3c/edit?usp=sharing  Glue the cones as shown.

  Pretty Little Trinket Boxes   The Box is 2 inches deep and about 3 inches wide. Here is a simple round box to hold your trinkets.  I needed the pattern of this box for my next creation, a carousel box.  Look for the post in a few days, as I have already completed the carousel but I wanted to post this simple round box first. I used math to create this shape. I needed to find the circumference of the top and the bottom of the box.  Using the formula, Circumference of the Circle = 3.14 x Diameter of the Circle (The diameter is the length of a straight line going from side to side across the circle through the center point.), I found the lengths of the strips of paper which go around the sides of this box. Here is the PDF file of the box. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYc1NqX0NMR0l6WUU/edit?usp=sharing Here is the .Studio file.  I used cardstock. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B...
