- Cardboard, 8″ x 10″
- Vintage Image (in our sample we used an image from our Halloween III Download Collection)
- Fabric to wrap front side of cardboard (piece approximately 10″ x 12″)
- Felt, 7″ x 9″
- Two 1/4″ eyelets
- 18 gauge wire approx. 16″ long
- 4 yds. wired ribbon 1 1⁄2″ wide (or purchased bow)
- Seven 1″ brass T-pins
- Seven of each: 5 mm beads and 3 mm beads
- Ball fringe (at least 8 1⁄2″)
Tools Needed:
- Craft knife
- Metal ruler
- Cutting mat
- Spray adhesive
- Craft glue
- Pencil
- Hole punch
- Eyelet setter tool
- Wire cutter and pliers
Assembly:
1. Print image on Gloss Artist Canvas sized at 6 1⁄2″ x 8″. Trim and set aside.
2. Cut cardboard to 8″ x 10″. Cover the cardboard with fabric using spray adhesive. Wrap fabric around edges.
3. Use spray adhesive to affix image to front.
4. Punch two 1/8″ holes in top corners for eyelets, insert eyelets, and crimp with eyelet tool.
5. Punch seven 1/8″ holes or smaller in bottom edge of covered cardboard at 1″ intervals (these will hold beads later).
6. To make hanger: Cut a piece of wire about 16″ long and holding it at each end, bend it so that it makes a loop at the top and intersects about 2″ below. Twist wire at intersection to complete loop.
7. You will still have two long ends of wire. Bend these pieces with pliers first in one direction, and then in the other to make wavy pattern.
8. Insert ends through eyelets and bend and coil wire so that the hanger stays in place.
9. Make bead “fringes” using 1″ brass t-pins threaded with a 5mm bead followed by a 3mm bead. Bend pins about1/4″ over and put through the holes along bottom. Bend pins again to keep them in place.
10. Cut ball fringe to 81⁄2″, apply glue to the backside and place on top of the t-pins, folding ends to the back side.
11. Affix felt to back side of cardboard with spray adhesive.
12. To make the bow: Use the wired ribbon, leave about a 12″ streamer and then begin making loops on opposite sides holding the middle intersection between your fingers.When satisfied with the size of the bow, tie the middle (where your fingers have been) with wire or string and attach the spiral part of the hanger and “fluff” bow. Trim ends.
