3D Witch Hat Tutorial with Brigit

Hello there, today I’m sharing a tutorial on this 3D witch hat project. This hat can also be purchased from the Silhouette Design Store here and also as a set in the 3D Halloween Bundle from Lori’s shop.

This is such a cute home decor piece to add to your Halloween collection, I really love how it came out.

The first thing I did was add all the pieces onto my mat in Silhouette Studio, this included the 3D Chrysanthemum Flower, (Silhouette Studio chrysanthemum). You will need 6 duplicates of the triangle layer and 2 duplicates of the hat top. I used patterned paper from Doodlebug Design’s Pumpkin Party  I did a release compound path on the triangle layer and removed the circles.  Tthis way I’d have solid pieces to show off the pretty star paper.

I resized the hat so I could fit one piece of the hat top with the hexagon bottom on one sheet, this saved me a black piece of cardstock, I also sized the flower so the orange color pieces would fit all on one sheet of cardstock.

I cut all my pieces out and inked the edges of the patterned paper, flowers and leaves.

I assembled the top of the hat first, this thing went together perfectly, I love Lori’s files!!

I then added the triangle layers onto the sides and glued down the circle patterned paper to the black circle rim.

For the leaves I bent them by hand and used ink to create some vein lines, I then sprayed them with some water and crinkled them by hand a little.

I used my McGill tool and mat and a paint brush to curve the flower petals up.

I Glued all the petals together and added a black jewel in the center.

To complete the look, I added some black tulle around the hat, glued the flower and leaves to the side and added the ghost clip and ghouls sticker from Doodlebug’s pumpkin party,

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

The Sweetest 3D Gift Box with Michelle

Hello! Michelle here today to share the sweetest little 3D Camper that’s also a clever little gift box!

You can find SVG files to make this 3D Camper at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop or at the Silhouette Design Store. I used papers from the Sweet Baby Girl line by Echo Park Papers, but I’m certain that this would look great with any papers for any occasion. Lori has a video tutorial that makes this so fun and easy to put together. It’s my new favorite project!  (the 3D Tree is also available here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and at the Silhouette Design Store)

3D Camper Trailer Gift box

There’s so much room the box. Perfectly sized to hold candy and gift cards, or jewelry and small toys. It would also be great for Birthday Party favors. Lori also has a larger 3D Camper that would make a great centerpiece for the party table. That would be such fun party decor! Its so fun to make little things that you know everyone will love.

Thanks for letting me share today.

Happy Crafting!

Jack O Lantern Gable Boxes with Brigit

Hello, it’s Brigit here, I have a couple of Halloween favor boxes to share using the Gable Box Jack O Lantern Bundle for Lori’s shop.  You can also get these separately from the shop or at the Silhouette Design Store.

This one in the front is the Gable Box Jack O Lantern Tall, you can get it here from the Silhouette Design Store.  I just love the face on this, totally adorable!

Here are the Gable Box Jack O Lantern Medium and Small, (Silhouette Store – medium and small). I used older designer paper on these and added some green ribbon with Halloween flairs, super simple but so cute!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Haunted House Ornament with Michelle

Hello Crafty Friends! I am Michelle Zerull from Pinch Your Chic and I’d like to share a fun tutorial for these adorable Haunted House Ornaments.

The ornaments are made using Haunted House Ornament SVG digital cutting files from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or you can find the same Haunted House Ornament files at the Silhouette Design Store. The files come with many fun little Halloween elements to make  your house as spooky as you want.

After downloading your files, cut your pieces on your Digital cutting machine using whatever colors and patterns appeal to you. (This project is also Silhouette Portrait compatible for those users!)

You will also need glue and string or ribbon to hang your ornaments. Optional: If you would like to place paper on the inside of the windows, cut this also. I cut four squares of 1 1/2″ vellum for the inside of mine. If you would like to ink, paint, or glitter any of your house elements, this would be the time to do that.

Glue the window, doors and other house elements to your main house piece. It is easier to glue these now, rather than waiting until it is assembled.

 

  1. Fold sides of House structure and glue tabs inside. this will create an open ended rectangle.
  2. Fold in the bottom and glue closed.
  3. Fold the three roof pieces in half and glue together to form one piece. Set aside. Cut a 6″-8″ piece of string or ribbon. Fold the string in half, knot and set aside. The knot will need to be bigger than the hole in the roof piece. Now fold the “triangle” roof pieces inward. Also fold the roof top tabs inward.
  4. Run the string through one of the roof holes. Make sure that the knot is on the inside.
  5. Press the knotted tab inward. Fold under the opposite tab.
  6. glue the two tabs together. This forms the roof peak.
  7. Add glue to the roof. Push the strip loop through the roof sections from step #3 and adhere the roof.

That’s it! As you are working with the pieces, you will find that the assembly is much easier than it appears…and lots of fun too!

This was such a fun and easy project to assemble! As you can see, I made several of these little Haunted Houses. Lori Whitlock has other fun paper houses at her SVG Shop. Be sure to check them out. I know that I will!
