Erica's Cricut Craft Room IMAGINE-ation! Mondays!

Happy  Chinese New Year 

On Mondays we use the Imagine, E2, Mini, or Cricut CraftRoom 
Today I used Cricut CraftRoom and  CCR Exclusive Cartridges 
3D Chinese Lanterns
Chinese Character's

I Choose Lantern #6 ( you can download a digital handbook for instructions at cricut.com)
 I cut the lantern base 2x at 9" then glued them together and scored at the Marks and glued together...
 The top was cut at 10 1/2 " wide to fit the top ...
 I then choose Chinese character "Friend" cut 4x at 3 1/2" and a black cord to hang it from ...
 Here it is the finished Lantern I added gold stickles ....


These are for Classroom Decorations today ....
"Year of the Dragon" is cut 5" from Pagoda ;  2012 is cut from Doddletype 1"

Here are all 6 Chinese Character's cut out at 4" and then I put the name of Character  on a card using Cutting Up cartridge at 1" in CCR to weld together  .... 



Thank You for Checking out my projects today .... Go back to Erica's CraftRoom  to see all the other creations from the DT ...

Have a Crafty Day ,
Jen L
