Sizzix Sneaky Peek from Katie Skilton

Hello…

I am back with you on Hochanda on the 13th December with something a little bit different. If you are totally organised and finished all of our Christmas crafting you might be thinking of was to see in the New Year. With that in mind Sizzix have put together an amazing range of dies that will work brilliantly not just for New Year but for all those parties to come.

Today I am going to share with you a quick way to make some super fancy bunting!

Materials:

Sizzix Framelits Plus Die Set 10PK - Bunting
Sizzix Bigz Die - Stars
Cardstock
Twine
Glitter card

Method:

Step 1
Die cut your chosen amount of bunting from coordinating cardstock. Punch holes in the top.

Step 2

Die cut 3 stars for each bunting flag and layer together using 3D foam pads.

Step 3

Trim a 1” strip of patterned paper for each bunting flag. Adhere to the centre and trim.

Step 4

Adhere the stars to the centre of each bunting flag and thread twine through the holes.

This could be used for so many different occasions or to simply brighten up a room.

Remember to join me on the 13th December for more party themed inspiration.

Until then …

Katie

Meet the Presenter - Matt MacNamara

1. How did you first get introduced to crafts? I’ve always loved craft and had such great respect for anyone who makes and creates crafty items. At craft fairs it is always me that holds up everyone else in the group while I chat to the people on the stalls about what they have made. My wife Karen, or Mrs M, is very crafty too. She’s into the classic decoupage, upcycling old boxes and furniture. She also makes her own jewellery and I sometimes help her run the stalls at craft fairs.. 2. What have been your highlights so far on Hochanda? We have a very talented pool of guests, so there is always something so creative going on in the studio, so honestly, every day is highlight. I’ve also had the good fortune to have tried several crafts for the first time ever. It’s pleasantly surprising to discover that to be a good crafter you don’t necessarily have to be artistic, you just need to be imaginative and creative. We all have our own...
