Reminisce is getting an early start on the Independence day holiday. Here's a layout by DT member Tami Sanders using the 4th/DC 2 in 1 paper collection...
Tami was kind enough to provide some step-by-step instructions (with pictures) for making the pinwheels on her layout...super fun and super easy summer embellishments!
1) start with 1 square of cardstock and 2 squares of printed paper
{3 & 3 ½ squares were used in sample}.
2) adhere the printed paper squares to the front and back of the cardstock square.
3) use a ruler to lightly pencil diagonal lines across square in both directions to make and “x”
4) then cut along each line, stopping about ¾” from the center.
5) after the lines are cut; erase pencil marks.
6) decide which pattern you want to be the “main” color, in this case the stripe, and place that side up.
then fold down the point – either the left or the right one to the center.
7) fold down the next point (same side as before).
8) and continue until all points have been folded.
9) place a sizable “glob” of glue at the center of the square and on the underside of each point.
(use a quick grab, fast setting glue)
10) also put a good amount of glue on the back of your button.
11) fold all points back down, top with button and hold until glue sets.
Add to your project and ENJOY!
Thanks for sharing your tutorial and holiday layout Tami!
