SCAN N CUT TROPICAL GARLAND

Scan N Cut Tropical Garland Project

LEVEL: EASY

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

  • Balloons in Pink, Yellow and Green
  • Cardboard in shades of Green for the leaves and Pink for the flowers
  • Brother Scan n Cut
  • Fishing wire
  • Double sided tape
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Scissors

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 - Use the Scan n Cut to cut out various leaf shapes on the different coloured green paper. If you do not own a Scan n Cut you can draw your leaf shapes onto the card and cut out using scissors.

Step 2 - Pick the flower design you want to use, and again use the Scan n Cut to cut out the flowers.

Step 3 - Assemble the flowers by using a hot glue gun to stick the pieces together.

Step 4 - Once you have your leaves and flowers ready it's time to blow up the balloons! The amount of balloons you need will depend on where your balloon garland is going, for a table setting you will need roughly 15-20. Blow up the balloons in different sizes and colours and tie together the larger balloons for the base of your garland using fishing line to knot around the tie of the balloons.

Step 5 - When you are happy with the look of the base shape you can use fishing line again to attach the smaller balloons and fill in any gaps to make a nice full looking garland.

Step 6 - To finish use double sided tape to stick the paper flower and leaf shapes in between the balloons.
