Summer Flip Flops Decor with Rinea

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a cute set of Flip Flops that you can use to decorate your home.

Materials Used:

Rinea: Starstruck Turquoise/ Turquoise Foiled Paper

Rinea: Starstruck Gold/Gold Foiled Paper

Rinea: Glossy Marigold/Gold Foiled Paper

Miss Mandee: Flip Flop SVG

Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink: Carved Pumpkin

Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink: Fossilized Amber

Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink: Broken China

Recollections Brand 65lb Cardstock: Navy

Xyron Creative Station Lite: Adhesive

Imagine Crafts: Tear It Tape

Brother Scan N Cut Machine

Let's get started

I gathered all the components for the flip flops. I used the Brother Scan N Cut for the cut file.
I have 2 Navy cardstock soles(1 with slots for the straps and one without), I have 4 Navy cardstock Straps, I have a total of 4 sets of flowers a larger one, and small one.
4 Rinea: Glossy Marigold/Gold Foiled Paper large flowers,
4 Rinea: Glossy Marigold/Gold Foiled Paper small flowers, 2 Rinea: Starstruck Gold/Gold Foiled Paper large stamens, 2 Rinea: Starstruck Gold/Gold Foiled Paper small stamens,
4 Rinea: Starstruck Turquoise/ Turquoise Foiled Paper soles and straps.

Flowers: I did the flowers first to give them some time to dry. I cut the flowers and stamen from Rinea: Starstruck Gold/Gold Foiled Paper Rinea: Glossy Marigold/Gold Foiled Paper

I inked all the flowers and stamen with Distressed Oxide Inks. I use Carved Pumpkin on the flowers and Fossilized Amber on the stamen, I do this because our Foiled Paper has a white core and I don't want it to show.

Next, I added a bit of Imagine Crafts: Tear It Tape to the open tabs of the flowers and press them closed. This will make the flowers curve. Next, I just curl the petals of the flowers.

Then, I adhered to the small center flower into the bigger flower. I followed by gluing the stamen to the center of the flower. I adhered a Fushia colored jewel to the center of the flowers. I set them aside to dry.

Flip Flops: I ran the Rinea: Starstruck Turquoise/ Turquoise Foiled Paper soles and straps of the flip flop through the Xyron Creative Station Lite.

Then, I pressed the Rinea: Starstruck Turquoise/ Turquoise Foiled Paper soles and straps onto the Navy cardstock.

Next, I added some Imagine Crafts: Tear It Tape to the back of the straps. Then, I insert them into the slits on the flip flops.

I removed the backing from the adhesive and pressed them onto the back of the flip flops.

I then adhered the finishing sole to the flip flops to hide all the tabs.

Next, I adhered the flowers to the flip flops. I attached the large flowers to the center of the straps and then small flowers right next to the large flowers.

Now, the Flip Flops are complete and ready to be used for decor. You can attach a string to hang them up if you would like.

Birdcage Decoration with Rinea

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Bird in its Birdcage decoration.

This a fun project you can make with the kids or just for fun.

Materials Used:

Rinea Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper

Rinea Starstruck Cobalt/Cobalt Foiled Paper

LittleStuff PDF: Birdcage

Kaiser Crafts: Black Jewel

Xyron Creative Station Lite: Adhesive

Imagine Crafts: Tear It Tape

Art Glitter Glue

Distress Oxide ink: Hickory Smoke

Distress Oxide Ink: Chipped Sapphire

Recollections Brand 110lb Cardstock: White

String: 2 Inches

Let's get Started

I gathered all the components for the birdcage. I printed the pattern from LittleStuff PDF: Birdcage, Along with Rinea Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper and Rinea Starstruck Cobalt/Cobalt Foiled Paper.

1 Birdcage base, 1 Birdcage inside base, 2 Birdcage inside liners,

8 Birdcage strips(wires of the cage), 2 small circle tabs, 1 Bird body, and 2 wings.

Birdcage: I ran all the cut-up patterns through the Xyron Creative Station and adhered them to the back of the Rinea Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper and trimmed them all out.

Then, I added a bit of Art Glitter Glue to all the small tabs and press the base of the birdcage to the tabs. I repeated this to the other side. I then adhered the side together and used two small clothespins to hold the seems together until they were dry.

Next, I inked all the components of the birdcage with Distress Oxide ink in Hickory Smoke.

Next, I adhered the inside bottom layer to the cage.

Then, I added the wires to the birdcage base. I put a bit of Imagine Crafts Tear It to one end of the strips and adhered them to the inside of the base. I repeat this with all the wires.

Next, I adhered the inside liners to the base of the cage to hide the bottom of the wires.

Then, I put some Imagine Crafts Tear It Tape to the 2 small circles. I then place the tops of the wires to one of the circles. I started with 2 then continues to adhere the rest of the wires. I then adhered the top circle to make the cage top look finished.

Now, the birdcage is complete. I set it aside while I work on the bird.

The Bird: I ran the bird body and wings through the Xyron Creative Station Lite. Then, I peeled off the adhesive liner and ran it through again. This way the bird was sticky on both sides. I then placed the bird and the wings onto the Rinea Starstruck Cobalt/Cobalt Foiled Paper I then trimmed it out.

Next, I inked the bird body and wings with Distress Oxide Ink: Chipped Sapphire.

Then, I added some Imagine Crafts: Tear It Tape to the wings and adhered them to the body. I curved them a bit for some dimension.

Next, I punched a small hole to the top of the birdcage and to the bird. I then threaded some string through the bird and then through the top of the birdcage. I tided a knot at the top to keep the bird floating in the cage. *optional you can add a small bead for a more finished look.
