Hi, I'm Sophie and welcome to my world okay
I have a joke for you if april showers bring May flowers
what do you may flowers bring? Pilgrims
or very cute
little place cards for your Thanksgiving Day table now
I'm really excited about this craft because it's a bunch of recycled
materials
this is a coffee sleeve and this is just
a skewer and some paper it's a really simple craft that I think will be really
cute
on your table I'm going to show you how to make it right now
for this project I'm going to need a cup this is just a small
I think this is six or eight-ounce cup and you can use a Dixie cup you can use
a paper cup you can use whatever kinda Cup works for you
it's just gonna need to make sure that it fits inside
this little coffee sleeve
I've got some treats you don't need to use treats but
it is always fun to have treats as far as i'm concerned.
I have a little piece of paper you can make yours whatever color you want but
I've chosen yellow blue and orange to be my colors
I need one for my first for my large sail
that needs to be three inches by two and a half inches so it's three inches by
two and a half inches
and then I have a second square this is
actually a rectangle excuse me that is two inches by one and a half inches
and then I've got just a little piece that is one by one
I'm gonna be cutting this into like a little a little flag so it doesn't
really matter what size this is but
one by one is a good size then I've got a coffee cup sleeve
this is important you are going to need the coffee cup sleeve it's great
if it has the ridges on the inside and I love this kinda brown natural look
this is a skewer that you would use for barbecuing stuff like that
so a skewer is great if you don't have a skewer could always use something like
a straw
or even a pencil but you do want something that can be your
Center pole I'm going to be using a pen to write the name of
my guest but you don't have to do that if you don't want to
I will be using it because I'm going to use this is a place setting
I've got my ruler here that would help me do my measuring
and then I've got a piece of tissue paper here and this piece of tissue
paper is about
6 seven inches by five to six inches it's just a piece of tissue paper that
I need
to hold my treats so I just need a little piece of tissue paper
scissors and course my glue gun so first thing to do
is me
first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
undue my coffee ring
undo this and turn it
inside out and
glue it so that the ridged side
faces out use my hot glue for this
you should be able to just follow the spot where it was glued before
don't try to turn it inside out with
out ungluing it because
it will rip this is going to be my boat
so I'm just gonna make a tiny little arched
cut here so I start on one side and I'm going to cut
a very shallow
slight
arch just a slight arch there
like the smallest smiley faces the smallest
smiley faces and that's gonna give me my boat now
for the inside what I want to do is I'm going to take this
and I just want to measure where this hits at the lowest part
the lowest part hits
here measure that and mark it with my pen
what I am actually gonna do is I'm not gonna cut here I'm gonna go
about an inch lower San Diego bout
rate here this is gonna allow for some mike candys
so when it in this is great because this is Reggies
that I can follow so images and just take pictures and cut to that ridge
in a follow the ridge call the way
around just keep cutting
the ridges make it so a simple to follow now we get to a certain point you might
find that it's hard to cut because you got all this
extra anyway so then just kind of took many
continue on and it'll be much easier scholar that
all the way around camp see end up with this lookup
and its benefit great Inc like
that now I'm gonna make my whole now
with my skier limini basically do is just take it
and they read carefully cuz it sharp
right down the center call
alright there now I can use my scissors
once it got that missus is to make the whole map don't put your fingers inside
there like I was just about to do
you wanna make sure when you do this you fairly care cock
and you can see as they open these up I was very very careful I did not let this
get
and our clients to me up you
and now this a slight right in there and that's good for you master
now we're going to do is we can actually clear this place
cell which complaints
right there in the center and slide it
up and then just put 8.2 glue
find this an adaptive glue
on this side and then slide that cup
into place and squeeze it on either side
now what I don't want to do it so I don't wanna lay this down on my am
tablecloth but if you had a a work surface that you could you could just
put this right and just make sure
is even you wanna make sure that it's gonna
lay flat just gonna get me tablecloth
