I've been looking for some new ideas for my tiered tray. I haven't updated things for a while and and thought I'd try my hand at designing a 3d idea. It's not perfect and the design (or my fingers and glue) need a little help.
For this version I used some kraft (AC cardstock- smooth texture) stock for the all of the cut pieces. The shape is a combination of two circles. I made some tabbed pieces to connect the front and back pieces to create a 3d piece. Once the basic shape was assembled, I cut to additional pieces and using some ink, added additional shading for the face and the red/purple colors for the back. Some 3/8 inch circles make the dots for the back.
The wire is added before the back of the shelf piece is added. Poke 2 holes in the head, insert the wire and form the curls as desired. Hot glue them into place - make sure the glue it completely set before adding the back piece.
Add eyes and smile with a marker, highlight if desired with some white ink or paint. Add a ribbon bow or other embellishment if desired to finish off.
Hoping you have some creative time carved out in the days ahead. Nurtured your spirit and enjoy the time as it is well spent!
