I love-love this new file and have a feeling I am going to be using it lots!
These are paper sequins and this file has four sizes: 3", 2-1/2", 2", and 1". You can make these sized to fit your needs though I wouldn't go much smaller than 3/4" as it become hard to bend on the score lines. I cut mine on glittered paper to give them that extra shimmer but I love the idea of being able to create pattern papered sequins and how amazing would these be larger hanging in strings for party decor! Oh yes, the possibilities are endless! Can you tell I am excited!?
Each one has score marks built into the file, all you have to do is bend them slightly down (or up for a different look!) around the center hexagon then pinch the side lines a bit. Super easy and so much fun!
I'd love to see what you make with these!

Good morning! I am so excited to share that The Twinery is now holding monthly themed challenges and I just cannot wait to see what you all come up with! You can see all the details over on The Twinery Blog!
This months theme is Polka Dots!
For my take on the Polka Dot challenge, I decided to take things BIG and go with large polka dots! I created five different sized spots using an adhesive backed paper and different colors of twine!
Here is a quick tutorial:
1. Punch out five circles using a adhesive backed
paper and cut a 20" piece of twine.
2. Remove the adhesive back and place a small
circle of twine in the middle of the circle.
3. Continue wrapping your twine
around itself as shown.
4. When you get the twine circle to the size
you want, simply trim any excess adhesive
paper away. Press firmly down on the
twine and you are good to go!
Supplies:
Cardstock: White and Black (Recollections)
Patterned Paper: 2wenty Thr3e 6x6 (Cosmo Cricket)
Punches: Circle Maker (Creative Memories)
and Corner Punch (EK Success)
Embellishments: Woodchip Speech Bubble (Freckled Fawn)
and Misc. Black Sequins
