Hunger Tribute

This is a card, inspired by my favourite book, THE HUNGER GAMES.

with just a bit of distress ink and printing ink, card, gel pen, glossy accents

ribbon and stickles you can make something that is simple but effective. 

rolled newspaper

This is for the junior DT for which the theme was 

Something Recycled.

To do this wall hanging, first I cut strips of newspaper(all different sizes) and rolled them up and to hold them in place stuck them with glue and left them to dry.

While they were drying I made sure that I had a spare strip left over that was doubled up so I

could separate it at the top.

Then in length order laid them out going down. 

Starting from the top I glued them to each other.On the doubled over strip stick it together leaving folded over end. Carefully lifted the roll strip over onto the doubled over one and stuck it down.

At the top on the strip under the rolls twist the top carefully and tie a ribbon around at such a position that you can easily hang it up.

Black, Stripes and Glitter

This is for the junior DT for which the theme was 

Bingo.

Out of the possible 7 element combinations I choose

Black

Stripes

Glitter.

To do this wall hanging, first I cut out 3 circles using the big shot out of card and the same with 

butterfly paper from Tim Holtz paper stack Crowed Attic. Stick the circles together 1 card 1 butterfly paper.

Whilst that was drying I got a long strip of black paper and with a sliver pen and a ruler colour every other centimetre for 5mm. When the circles had dried I went round the butterflies with silver embossing powder and embossed. Then I went around the inside of the butterflies in glossy accents. Whilst that was drying I got a piece of ribbon and distressed it. Made it into a loop and using black thread put a stitch in.

The ends of the ribbon were glued to the back of the black strip. Evenly spacing the circles on the strip of card and put the glue on the strip and stick the circles.
