Double Up

I combined the challenge for Allsots which was to make something for a child and Crazy 4 Challenges which was to use acetate on your project.

I made this several years ago using the glass bulbs you see in the craft stores. This time I recreated it using PSP.

I guess if I were to make a physical project using acetate the steps would be as follow:

First thing I would do is heat the acetate just enough to mold it around the top of a light bulb. Allowing it to cool and repeat for second half.

I would make the arms, gloves, legs, and shoes out of chip board and construction paper...gluing the construction paper to both sides. I would also use the construction paper for the mouth. I like those eyes that move...you know the ones, I would use them instead of the paper just because I think they are fun and glue them on.

I would use the formed acetate to trace a circle frame out of chipboard to glue the completed legs and arms to. Making sure I added the cap for the hook at the top.

Glue one of the acetate circles to the frame. Add the contains then glue the other have. Add the hook and you project is complete.
