Paper Book and Puzzle

I borrowed Carol Duvall's awesome book, called Paper Crafting with Carol Duvall, from my library and couldn't resist playing a little.  I thought I would make some things for my grandchildren.

First I was taken with the creation of a book:  You start with an A4 piece of paper and fold it so there are 16 equal sized rectangles.  Then with the paper in portrait direction you cut through 3 squares on the top horizontal fold from the right. Next you cut along the second fold line but from the opposite side. Then back to the right side for the final cut on the fold.  Super quick and with a little glue and some card stock for a cover.  Voila!

Hector's puzzle was also cool but easier. I used a page from last years wall calendar and cut a square then began folding and cutting...

Fun with Henna

Please try this at home.  What a great party.  I had to show this fun time we had at my Darling Niece's Wedding Shower.  Too much fun.

 Mother of the bride - with sparkles!

 Even geometrics!

Crafty Girl

So here she is with her new easter Mr Potato Head.  So cute.  She had to instantly take the pink tissue paper and make a dress for her new doll.  Success I think.
