I saw this pin on Pinterest that showed a project using scrapbook paper cut into hexagons. It was adorable, and could be done for any ol' holiday you can think of. So I did it for Valentine's Day.
I bought some pretty paper and used the Silhouette to cut out hexagons. I just love hexagons.
I took some pink foam board (I know, I didn't know it existed either) and sat down in front of the television while I put the hexagons together like a puzzle. This was actually kind of fun. Once I had them where I liked them, I used double-sided tape to put them on the board.
I thought this was going to take a billion years. It didn't. It took like, 20 minutes. Twenty minutes of hexagon joy.
I put it into a frame and called it a day.
Funny, I have that hexie art pinned too. Of course actually getting round to doing something pinned is a big achievement, I rarely do!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI love that all your crafts are done in front of the TV :). This looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteAww that looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me wish I still taught middle school math. This would make a great project that all the kids could try with lots of different results.

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love hexagons too - I don't have a silhouette, so I'm on the lookout for a sizzix die or paper punch in the hexagon shape.
ReplyDeleteCute craft! So versatile too. Like you said, could be done for any holiday.
ReplyDeleteNew follower and love this idea! I do my cutting with a cricut and am tempted to buy a shilouette. What are your thoughts on the shilouette?
ReplyDeleteI really love my Silhouette. It took me a bit of trying to figure it all out, but once I did, there was no stopping me! I don't know much about the Cricut so I can't compare them, but I do love my Silhouette!
