Cookie Box 4th of July

Anita here with a festive way to celebrate the 4th of July with cookies.  I used Lori’s SVG file called Cookie Box 4th of July which you can find here in the Lori Whitlock SVG store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I also used a Doily file of hers to line the box.  You can find that file here in Lori’s SVG store and here in the Silhouette Design store.  I used a piece of acetate for the window of my box and then also cut a circle the size of my cookie to lay in the box and to  keep the doily and box free from grease.  I also cut some cardstock 2 1/4″ X 2 1/2″ and then glued some twine down the middle of the paper.  I used a thin chopstick to roll the paper into a firecracker shape.

Here’s the box with the doily out of it so you can see how it looks.

Finally, here is a photo of the box with the doily in it.  Have a great day and thank you for looking.

Hugs,

Anita

July 4th Shaker Star Tutorial

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for Lori’s Shaker Star (SVG, Silhouette).    To make this, you will need cardstock, chipboard (I used a soda box), a dowel or straw and a piece of clear acetate.   I normally use transparency sheets for the clear part but this time I used a piece of a clam shell package from some craft supplies.

When you cut out all the pieces, this is what you will have plus a bunch of confetti pieces that will go inside the shaker.

First, glue the three chipboard stars together.  This step creates a spacer that will allow the confetti pieces to shake.

Next, glue the chipboard to the solid red star and glue the star frame piece on top of the acetate star.

Now you can add the confetti pieces to the inside of the star and then glue the clear star on top.

I wrapped the paper strips around a pencil to form into corkscrew shapes.   I glued those and a wooden dowel to to the back of the completed star and then cut an extra star “back” to cover up where they were attached.

There you have it!  Super simple to put together and so much fun!  The kids will love to wave them to celebrate the 4th!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Pinwheel Bouquet

It’s time to start creating for the 4th of July…celebrate the country we love.  Lori has this amazing bundle available, you can find it here.  So many cute projects.  You can also find them individually in her store or in the Silhouette Design Store.  I played with the pinwheel design for this project.

As I said I am using the new Pinwheel (SVG, Silhouette) for my project.   You will need some double sided papers or card stock, brads to secure your pinwheel and paper straws or dowels to attach the pinwheels.

 

This is how the file looks when you open it, ungroup it and cut the two pieces for your pinwheel.  I was able to get both on one 12×12 with some trial and error.

Once your pinwheel is cut, layer the two pieces just as shown in the screenshot or the picture below.  Have your brad handy.

Just start bring the tip of each point to the middle, lining up the tiny holes that your machine cut for you.

Keep going all the way around, one by one, lining them up…..

Once you have them all lined up, insert your brad.  It takes a little patience to get all those little holes lined up.  I’ve made so many pinwheels in my life time that I’m used to this step…so I didn’t think about this until after, but it may be easier for you to secure it with a paper piercer as you pick it up.  That way each point will be secure and lined up, then just slide the brad in.  So adorable!  I cut three pinwheels, starting with the original size in the file, then sized it down 1.5 inches the next two times.

For the smallest pinwheel, I wanted to have it two colors, so I simply flipped one.  You will have one going clockwise and one going counter clockwise.  Notice the direction of both on the screenshot below.

Once I had all three cut and secured with a brad, I hot glued them onto paper straws and added to a mason jar.  I love this, it’s fun and a unique centerpiece for my 4th of July holiday cookout.  I can’t wait.
