Scallop Square #21 – Scallop Pinwheel

Just another really quick post.

I should probably explain… DH is on holidays for a fortnight – so I am not getting my usual quota of PC time…….

These pinwheels are just SO easy. There are lots of photo and video tutorials all over the web – so I am not going to reinvent the (pin) wheel…. here is a link to the one I used  Make a pinwheel. There are some pictures there.  Though I have to admit that I didn’t draw any lines… this is all I did….

1. Die cut DSP Scallop Square

2. Place diagonally on trimmer & cut from 0 to 2” and 4” to 6”

3. Repeat for other diagonal

4. Make a mark to right of cut line at each corner

5. Hand punch a hole through those marks

6. Bring corner holes together at the centre & feed onto the brad prongs

7. Push brad through centre of base of pinwheel & open brad prongs at the back to secure

8. Cover brads with punched 1” circle

Scallop Square #20 – Lollipop Holder

Now this one is a really simple one-minute project!!!

Difficult to get a decent photo of though. Especially as I could only find mini chupa-chups when I made it – it would have been even better with a bigger lollipop!!

But there were lots of oohs and aahs at this one at my Team Training Inspiration Table last month – so thought I should share…..

 

So here are the quick steps needed.

1. Die cut a Scallop Square out of double sided-paper

2. Score 3 scallops in on each side

3. Score 4 corners diagonally across the outer square

4. Bone Fold all score lines ( straights as mountains and diagonals as valleys)

5. Hand punch peaks at centre

6. Put lollipop in centre

7. Thread & tie ribbon through the punched holes to close

8. Stamp flower etc.

9. Poke hole through centres

10. Poke lolly stick through those holes to attach……

And I have just realised that this is an old photo – as my final sample has a couple of Lucky Limeade leaves added to the flower using the Blossoms Petal Builder Punch. Too late/dark for a photo now – so I will have to add that version another day!!
