Step 4.

**Note** you may want to do this step after you have embellished your “Hang it Up”

Open the split ring and slip it through one of the holes in your bulldog clip. Slip the open end of the split ring into the hole of your “Hang it Up” shape, and close the ring. Do the same, on the other side.

Well done, you have now completed the basic “Hang it Up”

Now it’s time to make it your own!

Grab those letters and embellishments out and have some fun. The possibilities are endless.

Make sure you upload your completed “Hang it Up” in the gallery by June 30th. I will randomly pick someone and send you out a special RAK.

Step 3

Step 3.

Time to punch some holes. You need to punch two holes at the bottom of your shape to slip your ‘split rings’ into. Measure 5cm in from your sides and 1.5cm up from the bottom. Mark with a pencil and use your hole punch to make two hole on either side.

If you are hanging your “Hang it Up’ you will need to punch two holes on the top to put your ribbon through. Measure 3cm in from the side and 1.5cm down from the top and punch two more holes. Cut a piece of ribbon or thick string approx 30cm long. Slip into the hole at the top and make a knot. Do the same of the other side.

If you are putting your “Hang it Up” on the fridge. Turn you shape over and find the centre. Measure 5 cm down and glue your magnet on.

Step 2

Step 2.

Cover your shape with your choice of patterned paper or cardstock. I used a strong Craft glue, to glue this onto my backing shape. Trim off any excess.

Step 1

Step 1.
Choose a shape you would like your “Hang it up” to be. Simple kids colouring in pictures, make excellent templates for different shapes.

A good working size would be 20-30cm wide and 15-25cm long. Keep in mind this is only approximate sizes and would depend on your shape.

Trace or draw your shape onto your heavy cardboard and cut out.
