On our recent SU training day – run by the lovely Amanda (Inspirin Inkin), we learnt how to make these rulers. (I think they were from Monica Gale’s My many passions blog)
Anyway, when I was asked to make some gifts for my friend to sell at her child’s nursery, these came to mind! 9p from Wilkinson plus 11p for a jumbo eyelet, sell them for 40p and voila… 20p profit! You’re not going to get rich but it all helps :) We’re going to thread ribbon through the ends with the name of the nursery on as a nice memento.
We also stamped jungle animals on oddments of paper and scalloped the edges to wrap around chocolate bars – sadly I forgot to take pictures of these!
In case it wasn’t apparent, their theme was Jungle animals!
Here is the donations pot aka a wishing well decorated with loads of punch art! Can you spot the elephant? monkey? giraffe?
I was quite excited with the elephant as I adapted one that we were shown at our previous training using the butterfly punch to form his ears. I was pleased to discover that I could use the tag punch to cut in half and form the elephant ears! also cut carefully around the edge to form his trunk!
