Tropical Beach Basket 2 with Straw Hat

Here's another version of the Tropical Beach Basket AND a Straw Hat............I think they are so cute together!!! Sign....yes, I cut those leaves and YES, they look better............right? Looks like it's going to be a Tropical week..........how to make the hat - see below:

Basket Front:

Basket back:

Straw hat front view: Secure die cut "band" at brim this small piece is part of the Basket & Blooms die). Cut out stamped leaf. Pop flowers with dimensionals.

How to make the basket: refer to yesterday's blog posting.
Here's what you need to complete the straw hat:
(2) basket fronts in So Saffron CS
(1) Basket Bottom in So Saffron CS
(2) striped Island Oasis DSP (not in photo)

Use the Square Lattice Embossing folder on the (2) basket and bottom:

Connect the (2) basket pieces. Then cut right at the bottom of the basket handle opening

Mark with the bone folder 1" from the top of the basket. This will be the guide for cutting the frayed edges.

Apply the sticky tape on the bottom (for the top of the hat) as shown. Start cutting at an angle "frayed" edges

Finished "strawing" the brim of the hat:
After securing the hat, remove the sticky tape inside, drop in the top of the hat. Attach the striped DSP, then attach the cut leaf, cut flowers with dimensionals. Your project is complete.

  • Stamps: Tropical Party
