Let's Party with Picture Perfect Party Horns

Well, it was back to the Dr. again yesterday.  Underneath my right eye is all swollen up.  Dr. doesn't think it's infection from the tooth extraction; but, that I got bit by some kind of bug.  I wonder if these infection's will ever end.  Needless to say, I'm back on antibiotics again. And, if it's not better by Thursday, I have to go back to the Dr.  Gee Whiz!!!  Enough is enough!!!

We are right on the edge of a Winter Storm Advisory today.  The rain/sleet/snow system is moving just North of us and I hope it stays there!!!  No more of the "S" word, please, until this coming Winter!

I was at the Dr's office so long yesterday that I didn't get my blog posted.  I think it is worth the wait though!!!  

So, my share for today is some colorful and fun Party Horns that I made using Stampin' Up's Picture Perfect Designer Series Paper and some coordinating Cardstocks.  Let's take a look:

Aren't these just too cute!  So brilliant with color and fun!!!

And, so easy to make!   Let's take a look at how I made them!
 

I chose some of SU's Test Tubes (Retired; but, you can use any type of plastic tube or even candy that comes in long rolls and just adjust my measurements accordingly) and wrapped a 2-1/2" x 4-1/8" panel of SU's Picture Perfect Designer Series Paper around the tube or rolled candy and adhere it with Mono Multi Purpose Glue down the length of the panel on the edge.

Cut 2 panels from coordinating Cardstock at 1-1/2" x 5".  

I used my Bone Folder to give the panels a little curl and then fringed one edge with my SU Fringe Scissors (Retired; but, you can hand snip them easily).  

I used my Bone Folder again to curl up all the Fringe.

I adhered my first Fringe Panel to the top of the DSP, just under the cork, with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I adhered my second Fringe Panel about an 1/8" down from the top of my first Fringe Panel.

For the Blower part of my Party Horns, I took another panel of the Picture Perfect DSP cut at 1-1/2" x 6" and scored it down the center lengthwise at 3/4".  

I folded the panel at the score line (in Half) and adhered it together with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I used my Bone Folder to curl the panel and then wrapped it around an ink pen or pencil to really give it a good curl.

I folded up the end of the Blower about 3/8" (as shown in the picture above) and adhered the Blower to the top of the Cork on the Test Tube (or to the end of a roll of candy) with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

It really doesn't take much to make these Party Horns.

If you don't get any adhesive on the Test Tube or Cork or Rolled Candy, you should be able to remove the Test Tube or Rolled Candy very easily from the rolled and adhered DSP.

Pictured above is the Candy that I inserted into my Test Tubes. 

Pictured above is a GIANT Party Horn that I made for my Great Nephew's Birthday!

And, I made the GIANT Party Horn using this Tube of Sour Candies that I got at our local dollar store.

Pictured above is a Party Horn that I made using one of SU's Coordinating Cardstock Colors called Berry Burst.

For this one, I used SU's Peekaboo Peach Cardstock for my Coordinating color.

And, this one I used Bermuda Bay Cardstock.

And, this one is Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock.

I still have a couple more Party Horns in progress where I used Pool Party Cardstock.  The other Coordinating Colors for the Picture Perfect Designer Series Paper are Basic Black and Whisper White.

And, yes!!!  These are very, very addicting and fun  and easy to make!!!

Wishing you all a warm and sunny day!!!

Blessings!
