Six months ago for a challenge at Up & Scrap, in which we had to use large amounts of any element, I had the idea to make a mobile of die cut shapes. I started cutting leaves and flowers, but never finished the project…
Two days ago, I decided to complete it with snowflakes, creating a very wintery and decorative mobile.
Elegí el blanco, el plateado y el azul clarito para mis copos de nieve, troquelados con el set Stitched snowflakes de Lawn Fawn y el set “Snowflakes A5” de Xcut.
I chose white, silver and light aqua for my snowflakes, die cut using Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Snowflakes and the “A5 Snowflakes” set by Xcut.
También usé papeles de purpurina blancas y plateadas de la colección Marquee Love Glitter de Heidi Swapp y unas cartulinas glitter que compré en Tiger.
I also used white and silver glitter sheets from Heidi Swapp’s Marquee Love Glitter collection and silver glitter cardstock from Tiger.
Formé ocho guirnaldas con hilo plateado y dos unidades de cada copo de nieve y las até al soporte de madera.
I made 8 garlands with silver thread and mirroring snowflakes and tied them to the wooden support.
The only difficulty was balancing everything and making each string the same weight by adding or removing snowflakes. I also added some crystals to some of the snowflakes, so that they would really catch the light.
Resultó muy difícil fotografiar este proyecto ya que además de brillar, no paraba de moverse con la mínima corriente de aire. Espero que os hayáis hecho una idea del mismo, aunque os aseguro que el móvil gana bastante en la vida real.
It was extremely difficult to take decent pictures of this project due to the glitter and movement. I assure you the mobile is a lot prettier in real life.
Para las fotos lo colgué de un soporte de latón, pero ahora ya cuelga del techo de nuestro salón. Me voy a decorar el resto de la casa… ¡Feliz lunes y hasta la próxima!
For the pictures, I hung the mobile from a brass foot, but now it’s hanging from our living room ceiling. I’m off to decorate the rest of the house… Happy Monday and see you next time!
