Making a boy and girl playing in the snow "flattie"...

Post by **Howard** » Wed Jul 27, 2016 10:47 am

greetings to all...

here are another couple of small "flatties"...there won't be many if any "layering" details since these are only about 1 1/4" tall including the base...

thought i'd use them with the snowman "flattie" i made earlier...here's the link to the snowman "flattie"...

greetings to all...

now, the snowman "flattie" has two friends...i finished the boy and girl "flatties" yesterday but had to wait for the glass glitter on the bases to dry...

my very best regards...howard...

Howard....

Another thank you for posting these little flatties... as you can see, I've been busy following your instructions.
These really are a lot of fun to make, and I will intersperse them with my vintage stuff in December. I decided
to all a little "bling" to your car's headlights ... and I scanned an open roadster from a book, and made up a flattie
using your techniques. A cool ride during this heat wave!

Best regards,

OK Pat

Good morning to all...

OKPat...I see that "someone" has been very, very busy cutting out lots of little tiny pieces of cardboard!...

Who would ever think some of us would get so much pleasure out of creating these wee things from such ordinary materials!...

I've had several inquiries regarding the cardboard I use to make "flattie"...would you share what material you are using?...

By the way...it didn't take me long to find the "bling"...

I will be looking forward to seeing them in your display in just a few short months...

My very best regards...Howard...

Do you use the board that has the Styrofoam sandwiched in it Howard? Now I'm curious to know!

Cheers,
Will

I use two layers of heavy duty poster board laminated together with craft glue...heavy duty poster board is about twice the thickness of ordinary poster board...Bought mine at Walmart...other stores probably have...try michael's crafts, hobby lobby, staples, office max or a local home school supply stores...
