Charity and a Tutorial

Charity2completei

It is time for another Mo's Digital Pencil challenge.   This week
Lydia is challenging everyone to use three punches on our creations.
I wanted to do something for Thanksgiving.  Those here in the
U.S. will celebrate  next week.  I used Charity from Mo's Digital
Pencil to create a place setting for my table on Thanksgiving day. I 
have a quick tutorial on how you can make your own pilgrim hat.   


All you need is a styrofoam ball, a clay flower pot and some 
chalkboard paint or black spray paint. I chose the chalkboard
because I am going to write names on the hat itself for
place settings.
Spray paint the flower pot with the paint.. Do it in a well ventilated area and 
allow to dry.  I used several thin coats.

Next take your wire cutters or old scissors and bend your wire in a shape that
will hold your picture of photo. I used about 6 inches of wire.


I placed my styrofoam ball inside the pot and stick my wire through the 
hole in the bottom.  Push down the wire until it is secure inside the styrofoam 
ball.  




I then colored up my Charity.  Used Spellbinders die, 2 square punches
and a Martha Stewart border punch to decorate the hat.   

Come join the fun over at Mo's this week. She has some really great new images
out too.. Check out her blog HERE to see what's new..
