I am delighted to be sharing these quick and easy papercraft projects for a games night with you today.
My Quick and Easy Papercraft Projects for a Games Night
Last Friday I held a games night for my customers on Zoom. We had 2 rounds of Bingo, a game of Beetle and a round of Countdown. There was lots of laughter, some great prizes and of course we couldn’t have an evening together without some crafting.
I had sent all of them a pack in advance, containing their B ingo sheets, their Beetle sheet and the supplies for our craft activities.
A Cute Gift bag
One of the projects was this cute triangular gift bag with a DSP wrap.
- Tools: Paper Trimmer; Snips
- Paper/Card: DSP and Cardstock to match
- Adhesives; Multipurpose Liquid Glue; Stampin’ Dimensionals; Tear & Tape;
A4 Metric | Imperial Letter Size | |
Bag | 27cm x 10.5cm | 10 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ |
DSP | 20.5cm x 9.4cm | 8 1/4″ x 3 5/8″ |
Instructions
- Take your cardstock and with the long side at the top, score at 9cm, 13cm, 22cm and 26cm (3 1/2″, 5″. 8 1/2″, 10″). While the card stock is in this orientation make a small mark on the top edge at the 11cm and 24cm point
- Turn 90 degrees, so the short side with the 1cm (1/2″) strip is at the top at the top and score at 7cm (2 7/8″)
- You now need to make 2 score lines between your 11cm mark and the point at which the side score lines on that panel meet the bottom score line to form a triangle.(see picture above)
- From the bottom of the cardstock, snip up the horizontal score lines until they meet the vertical scoreline, creating tabs on the two squarer pieces. Cut off the thin end section. See pictures above and below for guidance.
- Put glue or tear and tape on the thin end tab and stick the box togther into a tube, then fold up the bottom tabs and stick these in place. Fold in the side sections of the box to creat your triangular box.
- With the DSP, create a wrap around the box . You might find it helpful to score one end of the DSP at 1.5cm (1/2″) to get you started. Holing your box shut and starting with your DSP under the bottom section of the box, wrap the DSP around the Bag firmly, but with enough give for the box to be able to slide in and out. Stick the overlapping section of the DSP together at the bottom of the box.
- Decorate your wrap as you wish. We used fussy cut flowers from the DSP.
Our Other Projects
We made two more little projects. A little hanging plaque decorated with the strawberries created with the punch. Because everyone didn’t have the coordinating stamp, we added details with watercolor pencils. The little card was created with paper and die cuts from the fabulous Snail Mail suite.
Let’s Hop
