Hallo ihr Lieben!
Als ich diese niedlichen Lindt-Eulen im Laden gesehen habe, konnte ich einfach nicht vorbei gehen. Ich hatte sofort die Idee, dass ich ein kleines Häuschen für die bauen wollte und mich - zurück an meinem Schreibtisch - direkt an eine Konstruktion begeben:
Heya dear crafty friends!
A chocolate brand called Lindt has recently come up with these cute owls and I immediatly bought one, because I wanted to construct a house for it. So here it is:
The most difficult to figure out was, how I wanted to construct the roof part, because I wanted it to be removable yet sturdy. So I came up with a roof that can be tucked into the house. That had several advantages: a) it gives the house itself more stability, b) with the lenght of the parts that are tucked into the house you can determine the angle of the roof and c) it is easily removed.
Falls Du auch Lust hast ein solches Eulenhäuschen zu bauen, kannst Du diesen Plänen die Maße, Falzungen und Schneidelinien entnehmen:
If you would like to make one of these houses as well, here is how I did it:
1. Haus / House
In order to create the roof tiles I used a decorative edge punch from Fiskars. I punched the scalloped edge along the whole side of a 12" paper and then cut it off at about an inch width. I needed three of these stripes to have enough for the roof. The easiest way I find to attach the tiles is to completely cover one side of the roof with adhesive and then start gluing down the scalloped paper strip at the bottom of it. Cut off the overlap and glue it down again until you do not have enough paper left to cover the witdh of the roof, then use the second strip of paper and so on ;o)
Um das Dach der Jahreszeit anzupassen habe ich ein paar Herbstblätter darauf geklebt. Zum Schluss habe ich das Wort "Thanks" auf das gleiche Papier gestempelt, wie das, was ich für das Häuschen an sich benutzt habe, es ausgeschnitten und dann noch die Ränder eingefärbt, damit man es auf dem Hintergrund besser sehen kann. Danach hat die Pinke Eule schnell ihr neues Heim bezogen und scheint sich dort drin sehr wohl zu fühlen ;o)
I wanted to decorate the house according to the season so I added a few autumn leaves to the roof. Next I stamped the word "thanks" and cut it out. After I added a ribbon end to one side I used my Ink Blending tool to colour the edges, so that it would stand out a little more against the background. After that was done the little owl could move into her house and she seems rather happy with it ;o)
