Huge Quote Poster

I wanted some new décor for my walls and being me I was obviously not going to buy it, I wanted to make it. I decided that I wanted to use a quote or some words and set about looking on pinterest for a good but relatively short one. This is the result...

Materials:
A1 piece of paper in prefered colour (mine was £1.75 from paper chase)
White printer paper
Glue/double sided
Pencil
Scissors
Laptop for font

Method:
1. Find the font you want (I chose Words Impact) and type out your message in a word document. Make it very big.

2.Trace the silhouette over the computer screen very lightly so as not to damage it, you don't necessarily have to do it this way but it was the way I did it.

3. Cut out each letter individually and arrange them how you want them onto the piece of paper.

4. Use your preferred glueing method to stick them down. I used double sided sticky tape.

5.Then I used a pretty liberal amount of blu-tack to stick the poster to the wall.

6. Sit back and admire your handiwork.

Origami Stars and an Apology

Firstly I'm so so so very sorry it's been so long since I posted but we still have no internet at home since we have moved! I know I said this last time but it SHOULD be sorted this week. I've missed you guys so much! Secondly I tried to make these a couple of years ago and completely failed but I saw this video a while back and started making them and haven't stopped yet :) 

Here is the tutorial and I read in this cute little comic (that I can't find anywhere) that if you make 1000 you get a wish-so get to it :D

*I found it !!!!All I ever wished for...
Here's a couple of pictures of the ones I made in a blue vase, sorry if you don't like the photos because there aren't on my camera like usually and I was messing with the camera effects of my new phone.
