A Rocking Horse Favor Box That Really Rocks

Image
  I love rocking horses. My Auntie Arax bought a red and black horse for my brother when he was little.  As a child, I enjoyed playing on the horse with its rocking motion. I recreated this sensation with this paper rocking horse.  It moves back and forth with very little effort. Here is the PDF.  I used cardstock for the entire horse except for the eyes which is glossy black vinyl because I like the look of shiny eyes. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYOGhwamljNWo5alE/view?usp=sharing Here is the .Studio file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYR2NEQzJ4c1BDWmM/view?usp=sharing Glue on the black eyes on each side of the horse.  Glue on the tail, mane and hair by the eyes.  Glue the star rocker to the outside of the horse.  Glue on the bridle and add the beige circle and star.  Glue the beige stars to the rocker.  Glue on the beige stars to the saddle.  Make the saddle box by folding the box and putting glue on the si...

Easter Bunny Swing Card

   Easter Bunny Swing Card I made this Easter card to look like the inside of an egg. The interior scene swings outward.  I recommend adding a dot of glue at the top and bottom of this scene as this will tear if the card is repeatedly opened and closed. The card is sized for an A6 envelope. I used cardstock.  Here is the PDF. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYUjM2alJ6RFlrTjg/view?usp=sharing Here is the .Studio file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYZndURDVHbV9DeEE/view?usp=sharing Fold the card as shown. I added a dot of glue at the stress points. Add the embellishments. Happy Easter!!!

Easter Bunnies Sliceform Diorama

Image
I created a diorama of an Easter bunny scene.  I used a previous egg sliceform that I designed and added the interior scenery.  There are three sets of slices.  The first slice is the center one. The second slice is the next largest one on each side of the center.  The third slice is the smallest and it is attached on the outermost notch on each side. I recommend cutting all of the pieces and placing them on a table in consecutive positions so that you do not get confused as to their placement because size does matter. Make the base by attaching the Easter greeting.  Bend the tabs as shown.  Glue the side into a cone. Glue the base to the side. The slices be attached starting at the center and going outward. Slide the largest two pieces together at the center notch. Slide the tree slice to the back of the house slice at the next notch. On the front side of the house, slide the flower slice to the next notch. Repeat this for the basket slice on each side. ...
