On the Mound

And while we are on a Peanuts theme - I HAD to do Charlie Brown.  I did him in his "on the mound" look but it was hard to decide - so many funny choices out there.

Frequent readers can figure this out - with just a little help.

The mitt is 1.25 circle cut flat at the top - then I "drew" some fingers and trimmed them.

You could draw the stripes on his shirt but I punched these.  You use the large star punch.  Start with a strip of paper 1.25 inches wide.  Put the paper into the punch so that you are just punching the top point of the star - move over and punch the second point right next to the first - continue for as long as you need your zig zag to be.

Reinsert the other side of the paper - again just punching away the top point of the star MATCHING the punch zig for zag - move over and punch the second point right next to the first - continue as needed.

This works for the small star too (if you ever need tiny zig zags) - the trick is to measure the "point" of the star and double that measurement for your paper width.

I have been more than a little busy with family obligations lately and need a few days to get my home back together, sooooooo I shall be quiet here for just a little bit.  I'll miss blathering to you but I will see ya soon....
