A {Unique} Fish Tank
Step by Step Instructions:
1. Using the Guillotine on the Purple Cows 2 in 1 combo trim-
mer trim the sides and back for your fish tank from Cosmo Cricket
beach towel paper. The front and back will be 10'' x 12'' and the sides
10'' x 7''.
4. Put the sides and front and back of your fish tank into
some #4050 Purple Cows Hot pockets. Centre the pieces lining
them right up to the top to leave laminate available for the
folds later. Once all the paper is in place give the apertures a
good spritz with the smooch ink spritz and leave the pockets
open to dry.
5. While the fish tank pieces are drying fill a # 4040 Purple
Cows hot pocket with a mix of blue and green alcohol ink to
create a random pattern. Leave the pocket open to dry (don't
close the pocket while it is wet as it will ooze ink when it goes
through the laminator!)
7. Switch on the Purple Cows #3025 hot/cold laminator and while it is heating up sprinkle some clear snaps glitter
into the now dry hot pockets (the ones with the apertures and the alcohol ink one) and then close them up. Get a spare
piece of 12'' x 12'' card ready at this point to use as a feed guide for your hot pockets to support them as they go through
the laminator (you don't need to use this method for the base and lid pieces as they are solid paper pieces)
8. Laminate all your pieces and when you're done don't forget to switch off the machine (unless you've been collect-
ing things to laminate, don't forget you can have a laminator session for up to 2 hours before you need to give the machine
a rest!)
9. Now you need to cut all the pieces to size
with the guillotine and score folds using click
blade # 2811 in the rotary trimmer of the 2 in 1
combo. Trim the 12'' x 10'' front and back pieces to
the 12'' width (remember to allow a small margin
at the sides of the 12'' to contain the lamination)
and trim it at 10 1/4''. Score along the bottom at
10'' and fold the extra 1/4'' to allow this to adhere
to the base. Trim the 10'' x 7'' side pieces to 10 1/4''
x 7 1/2'' then scoring the height at 10'' and 1/4'' on
either side folding them over to create the fixing
tabs for the box. Trim the base up to the sides of
the paper remembering to leave that lamination
margin and then trim the lid piece with a 3/4'' lip
all the way round (making it 13 1/2'' x 8 1/2'') score
Year
these 3/4'' lips and fold over. Cut into the corners
n te e
as you would when making a box so the flaps sit
inside each other.
11. Next using the straight edge click blade # 2801 in the
rotary trimmer cut some slits in the base piece, evenly spacing
them along the width and cutting 2 slits at 11'' and 2 at 5 1/2''.
17. Cut out a mermaid body from some white card and color
with clearsnaps smooch ink and colored pencils and then cut the
head from a photograph of the person you'd like to capture in this
fishy setting and glue in place. Glue scrap strips of laminate to the
mermaids and in the same way as the fish glue these into the inside
of the lid.
18. All that remains is to put the lid on the box, place somewhere
to display and enjoy your fish and mermaids bobbing about in their
glittery, fishy world. What fun pieces of home decor will you create
with your Purple Cows tools? Thanks for playing along with me on
this project, happy crafting loveM x
