Sandy's Robot Projects

Some more projects with boy appeal from Sandy using Best Creation's Robot- a collection full of spaceships, robots and planets.

First up is the Rocket treat-holder, created as a tribute to all those inspiring NASA spaceshuttle missions. The happy little recipient spent a fun half hour in the garden attempting to launch it at the papayas in my garden.

Next is the Blast Off catch-all. I turned a staggered chipboard mini-album into this OTP project meant to be a temporary holder for a boy's things like school letters and party invitations. If you'd like to turn your album pages into an off-the-page project, here's the tutorial.

Tutorial :

Trace your chipboard shape onto pattern paper. Twice for each shape and cut out

Paint the edges of your chipboard

Make some 'V' tabs which will hold the chipboards together. Glue tabs to the sides of chipboard

Cover chipboard with pattern paper cut-outs. Glue up the tabs

On the longest chipboard piece, add a die-cut border to the bottom as a 'feet'

And there you have it - a completed catchall
