And now for my super cool old school papery project.
I took some of that fabulous Come Away with Me and a bunch-o Scrapbook Adhesives, drafted a papery pattern, then smashed them together to create this...
A nifty old school paper rocket ship!
This
project started out as a really simple tube sort of rocket… which I
hated! Half way though that project I knew it was terrible. I looked at
it and sighed. BUT I was determined to make a rocket. A super cool old
school rocket! So, I started from scratch and drafted this pattern.
I’m not going to lie, this project IS fiddly. It’ll take some squishing and pushing and bending of paper… but I think the results are totally worth it.
Here are the supplies you'll need:
(By the Sea > Gathering Shells used for the flames)
Scrapbook Adhesives Dodz
Scrapbook Adhesives Adhesive Sheets
Scrapbook Adhesives E-Z Squares Dispenser
Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares
Sizzix Thinlits #658865 Susan’s Garden Poinsettia
Fine red glitter
Good quality white tacky glue
Rocket template
