Make It Monday #80

Hello dear friends.

This week at the PTI blog, the MIM challenge is "Making Garland". What a great challenge for us paper crafters - using garland in a project. Click here to see the video tutorial.

This is my take on the challenge. Instead of using a garland on a card, I created 5 garlands and strung them together to create a paper wind chime. I just loved using the butterfly dies for this project - don't they look like they are flying??


To put everything together, I cut out a doily die and strung the twine garland through the outer cut holes. Then I strung twine around the bottom of the doily and through the top and tied the twine together. I cut out some leaf dies to cover the top twine.


I hope you liked my paper butterfly wind chime. It was really fun to make. My daughter has already claimed it for her room. Ha.
