My go-to printer brand for years has been HP. I also use their ink supply service where I pay a monthly fee and they send me ink cartridges as needed. It comes out to be a lot less money this way. The HP Envy Inspire is a great-priced machine that will produce beautiful prints.

If you are looking for a great crafting-weight paper for printables, I have been using HP Project Paper. It is heavier than copier paper but not quite as heavy as cardstock. It is a great medium weight for layering, folding, and more!

Tag it Tuesday

This week’s tag is a bit different. Based on a free printable, I cut them out and joined them together for an accordion-folded tag. These tags don’t have to be used for this project, they are great for tag-making and ephemera.

DIY Ribbon Fish

with Gwen Studios

Using carboard and ribbons, you can make this fun colorful fish for Father’s Day. Whether Dad is a fisherman or not, he will get a kick out of this colorful fish that the kids can help make.

Grab the free PDF template below. I used it to cut out cardboard from a cereal box.

Free PDF file [fish template]

After cutting the cardboard, I used DecoArt’s DecoEarth paints on the fish. I applied the paint with a brush and then smooshed it to blend with a makeup sponge.

This project was created for Gwen Studios. You can find all the design team projects listed on the Designer Crafts Connection website. Gwen Studios products can be found at Walmart and Michaels.

Paint the head, the tail, and the fins. This would be a fun job for the littlest crafter to help with.

I cut a variety of colored Gwen Studios ribbons around 3″ in length. I used satin ribbons that were 3/8″ wide.

Using a hot glue gun, I folded the ribbons to a point. You can do this while the paint is drying on the fish.

Start at the tail end of the fish and add the folded ribbons as shown above. I used hot glue to quickly put them in place.

Randomly choose the colors of ribbon and continue to place the folded ribbons onto the fish. Once you are past the fins, you will not need any more ribbons.

This is a close-up of the folded ribbons all glued in place. You can see how the points of the ribbons are staggered. Then glue the head onto the fish’s body, it is slightly bigger. If you align the sides, the head part will curve up and over the ribbons.

I used a round resin piece I had for the eye. I think a googly eye would work well.
