Tower Box

This box takes time to cut out, fold and glue together. But I do not think it difficult to make. Print and cut out the six pieces. Use a blunt needle or knitting-needle and a ruler to mark the edges before folding. First glue together the individual pieces using the white flaps. Then glue the pieces together using the coloured flaps. Making the upper piece you start from the top. When gluing together two pieces start with every second flap of the eight flaps and line each up carefully. The flaps shall be glued down on the front of the piece below. The last four flaps will now be easy to glue down.

Joined Hearts with Snowflakes

These hearts with snowflakes are made just as described for “Joined Hearts”. To make the hearts prettier glue stick the small joined heart to cover the low parts of the handles. Now the heart looks cool inside too.

Joined Hearts

You need not be an expert to make these hearts. They are fast and easy to make. You don’t have to weave, only to join. Cut out the two different pieces and join using the slids. Line up the heart parts and fix them with glue and a small piece of paper when gluing on the handles.

 

Heart #037

Heart #037 is much like #034. First cut out two of each shape. Use four different colours. Cut away where indicated. Join different pieces two and two. Then weave. Weaving is not difficult but the loose flaps tend to go everywhere. Take care not to damage them.

Heart #036

For heart #036 you need to make two different heart pieces. One with stripes and one with stars.

The heart piece with stripes is made joining two half heart pieces with narrow strips. Use one white and one red. To join unfold the heart pieces and place the piece with the upcoming slids in the blade on top. Make one blade at a time putting all the short  strips behind the upper edge of the other piece. Draw carefully down in one piece and up in the other until the two pieces fit. Do likewise with the other blade.

The heart piece with stars is made from three pieces. First you cut out and join two white half pieces with stars. Start joining the slids in the blades and then join the stars one by one. Then you wrap a blue heart piece around the joined white piece.

Now you may start weaving. You shall weave with two blue strips (and two white strips below) and four white/red strips. Plan carefully. The blue squares with the white stars below must show. While weaving the blue strips will protect the stars against damage. After weaving and lining up use a pair of tweezers to draw out the white stars one (half) by one through the slid between the two blue strips. Take care not to damage the stars.
