Hello, Welcome to Day 2 of the
Halloween Hustle over at My Creative Time!
My project today is a
bookmark and pencil card set that my kids will be giving their classmates next week.
The corner bookmark I made from a 4 x 4 square of paper. The teeth are cut from one of the monsters on the Bump in the Night Cricut Cartridge. I got the inspiration from an email I received from a dollar store. Unfortunately the link no longer works so I will give you my own version below.
Ok here we go (hehehe).
I started with a 4x4 piece of patterned paper. (Double sided is best because then you don't have to add the extra square inside.) Score at 2" vertically and horizontally.
Next
remove one of the 2" squares.
Now, cut the two top squares in half diagonally resulting in the shape below.
If your paper is not double sided here is where you can add more pattern to the inside of the "mouth"
I added another 1 3/4" square inside the mouth to give some contrast of color.
Next attach the fangs to the back of one of the triangle flaps. I used my Gypsy to cut just the fangs from one of the monsters on Bump in the Night Cricut Cart. In the original tutorial they just hand cut some fangs to make it quick and easy.
Fold one triangle down, add some glue and adhere the second triangle flap down. Be sure not to glue the triangles down to the bottom square.
Finally you attach your eyes. I used
The Uglies stamp set from
Peachy Keen Stamps to paper piece some eyes. You could also glue on some googly eyes instead.
