Houses & Tables (& Chairs)… and Rhinestones

Filed under Design Team, Jewelry, Newsletters

I didn’t know where to start: sweet little paper mache houses, two sets of vintage paper kits or new cameos shown with gorgeous rhinestone chain!

 
Stacking Blocks Paper Kit

Adorable set of laser-cut sheets to make three 3D blocks (in graduated sizes). The finished sizes are 2-1/4″, 1-3/4″ and 1-1/4″ (pretty tiny!).

6 sheet set: 3 cream cardstock pages, 3 vintage dictionary pages. Instructions included.

 Highlights from Thursday’s Tutorial 

Book Roof Birdhouse Tutorial

I have long admired the birdhouses that are made out of vintage books, but always thought they’d be much too hard to attempt.

After seeing the tutorial created by Alpha Stamps Design Team Member Theresa Martin, you’ll see how very easy they are to make. Then, like me, you’ll find yourself in your car on auto-pilot, headed to the nearest thrift store to find some vintage books to start cutting up!

The part that I wondered about the most was how to create the sides and bottom, but it’s so elementary and again, very easy!! Just follow along the step-by-step tutorial and as Theresa says, “Bet you can’t make just one!”
