Easter House Ornament Tutorial with Brandie

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for the Easter house ornament. These little ornaments are darling hanging on spring branches but I also think they would make cute place settings for your Easter dinner table.

I used the  House Ornament Easter Bundle from Lori’s shop. Each ornament is also in the Silhouette store. Easter basket, Easter lamb, Chocolate bunny, Easter chick. and Easter bunny. The paper is textured cardstock in spring colors.

I uploaded all of the houses into Cricut Design Space, attached the score lines, and flattened the décor pieces (turned them into a print and cut) to make the decorating easier.  I also color synced the white and yellow items.

Once everything was cut I folded the score lines. Most of the score lines are mountain folds except for the roof peaks, they are valley folds. Valley folds shown below. I also inked the edges of my windows and doors.

While the house was still flat I glued the windows and doors first, then the grass. I added glue to the sides tabs then folded the house in half and tucked the tabs in to glue into place.

I then shaped the roof on the house. Folding  the top tabs down into the house and pushing the sides of the house towards the center to create the eaves.

I then added glue to the inside corners then pinched together until dry. I applied  glue to the top of house then lined up the hole in the roof with the whole in the house and held together while the glue dried.

For the chimney I added glue to the outside tab and folded in half to create a box. Then added glue to remaining tabs and held down on roof until dry. (for my other houses I cut a small rectangle from scrap paper and glued to the bottom of the chimney then glued to the house.)

I then tied some decorative yarn into a loop and threaded through the whole in the roof.

I then folded the bottom tabs in adding glue to each layer to secure the bottom of the house. I then repeated the steps for the remaining houses.

I then decorated the houses with the cute characters, eggs, and flowers.

Thanks for stopping by today and  I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend!

Easter Treasure Treat Boxes with Aimee

Happy Wednesday friends! Easter is here and I am getting ready for our family dinner. I love having little name cards for the table but when I saw the Treasure Chest (SVGSilhouette), I knew I could combine name cards with treats.

These adorable little boxes came together quickly which left the fun part of decorating them. I used the checked patterns that are in Lori’s Easter Wishes and Spring Fling collections as my color inspirations. Then I dug through my ribbon and button stash to find some coordinating colors.

I originally wanted their names on the boxes but came up with the idea to add their initial on this sweet little bunny from the 3 Easter Bunny Rabbits (SVGSilhouette). The initials came from one of Lori’s new fonts called Spring Fling Font (SVGSilhouette).  The inside pieces of the bunny’s ears and the initials were cut from the same cardstock that I cut the boxes from to keep with the color scheme.

If you are looking for a quick and fun project for your Easter table give the Treasure box a try!

Hope everyone has a beautiful and blessed Easter!
