The answer
to yesterday’s little teaser was that I was dyeing some Baker’s Twine. Well
done to Val for guessing correctly!
I used the
plain white twine with reinkers. Just a few drops of reinker (Cherry Cobber and
Always Artichoke) in a dish with a few more drops of water... probably a ratio
of 1:10? I don’t know, I just winged it! Left them to soak until they were
completely covered, then dragged them out, put them on some kitchen roll for a
few seconds and then hung them up on our Sheila Maid, with some newspaper on
the floor to catch any drips. 24 hours later and they are completely dry and
ready to use in my (Nearly) No-Sew Fabric class on Saturday.
Think of
the possibilities: Baker’s Twine (which costs next to nothing) in any color you
like. You can even mix reinkers to create totally new shades. You can buy reinkers in all our colours
and there are loads of uses for them, not just reinking your pads.
So, to
today’s project: a quick based on lots I’ve seen on the internet featuring an
Angry Bird. Perfect for children, and those tricky teenagers because everyone
loves Angry Birds. There are many more samples out there in blogland, some
featuring different birds and those naughty pigs but I was in a hurry so kept
it simple. Fun, eh? Teaser for today: name the film quoted in the title!
This is
what you need to punch:
1 ¾”
circle in Real Red
1 ¾”
circle in Whisper White (insert this into the punch again to create the chest)
½”
circle x 2 for eyes
5-petal
flower in Daffodil Delight for the beak (trim off one of the petals)
Boho
Blossoms punch medium flower in Real Red for the tuft on his head (trim two
petals and tilt behind the head)
Curly
Label punch in Basic Black: punch once and then punch the template to create
the angry eyebrows
Boho
Blossoms punch largest flower in Basic Black for the tail
Tear two
different shades of green cardstock for the grass. And if you managed to get
the Cupcake punch from the Spring Mini, you could create clouds, too!
