And, as always, be sure to share your finished results with me on Instagram. For tips on creating fun paper cuts like this one, see the FAQ section on my website. I use Adobe Illustrator for all my designs, and a Cricut Maker to bring my creations to life. If you are curious, the blue patterned paper I used for this design came from a pack called Humble Abode and the yellow striped paper came from a pack called Fresh Air, by Park Lane-both of which I found at Joann’s. Plus, it’s always great to play with colors that are a little bit fantastical compared to most buildings in the real world. Then, attach the flower pots to the sides of the building and the bicycle to the front, and your 3D café is complete!īuildings are one of my very favorite types of papercrafts to design! Implementing different architectural styles and adding my own little whimsical elements is just so much fun. Layer the pieces of the bicycle and the flower pots. Line up the bottom tabs of your café structure with the slits in the base, and glue the tabs to the underside. Take the base and fold along the score lines. Use the tabs in the back to attach the whole thing to the front of the café, just above the door.ħ. Then, glue the other, longer decorative piece on top of the awning. Attach the tabs one or two at a time around the sides/top of the front awning piece. Take the longer yellow awning piece and fold along the score lines. Attach the smaller, decorative piece to the front section. I found it to be easiest to start with the half-circle piece, then the roof, and finish with the back.Ħ. Carefully attach the whole thing to the rest of the structure, one tab at a time. Take your back/roof piece and fold along the score lines. Connect them to the curve of the half-circle.ĥ. Take the two strips on top and fold the little tabs inward. Attach your two, completed window display boxes to the interior of your main structure, behind the clear windows.įold the whole thing along the score lines, making the middle section pop outward. Place one chandelier and two cakes in each window display using foam tape.Ĥ. Use the tabs to connect the sides, and flare the tabs that are left outward. Then, take your two window display boxes (light yellow, in the design), and fold along the score lines. Layer together your itty bitty cakes with their cake stands. A great craft for playing with or putting on display. Then, glue the clear windows and vellum windows on the inside of the main structural piece.Īfter that, glue all of the exterior, decorative pieces to the outside of the building, like so.ģ. This 3D Paper Spider Craft is fun, easy to make and perfect for a Halloween Children and preschoolers will love assembling the pieces to form this friendly, not spooky eight-legged spider. Start by layering the outer decorative pieces together. ![]() I used a lime green color to mark the score lines, so hopefully that helps! If you’re having trouble with the score lines, check out this video.Ģ. Note: If you are using the SVG files that includes the score lines, don’t forget to set them as such in Cricut Design Space and attach them to their shapes before sending them through your cutting machine. Use your cutting machine or X-ACTO knife, along with my template, to cut out all of your 3D café pieces. View the full-size tutorial photos below. When assembled, this project is about 6.75" tall, 5.25" wide, and 3.5" deep. ![]()
