C Is For Crafting

Palm Tree Cut-Out

 

My blog is all about sharing how I create art projects and crafts on a budget, so today for the letter C I decided to talk about crafting.  I make many crafts, ranging from handmade cards to jewelry, and at the moment I am making a palm tree card.  The first step to making this card was creating a palm tree paper cut-out, which I attached to a handmade card.  Next, I will draw an illustration surrounding the palm tree cut-out.

 

 

In the video above I demonstrate how the palm tree cut-out was created by drawing half of a palm tree along the crease of the folded paper. The palm tree was then cut-out to create a cut-out.

Glue The Palm Tree Cut-Out
I used mod podge to glue the palm tree to the front of the handmade card, which I will continue drawing the illustration on. The palm tree cut-out will give the card a slightly more three-dimensional effect.
