About

this was my xmas card but i thought it will be a great valentline card to make for others as well. You can give it as a keyring to a friend as well or hanging on your bag.
My friends loved them, so i thought i will make a tute of it for you all;-D

i always make not a real xmas card but a little gift that tells withtout using many words my new statement for to share with my friends.
this are tough hard times and i have noticed that most people became of their problems crumpy and harsh to each other.
so i thought i must make a little friend sign to wish them a friendly year and being aware of the crumpyness and stay friendly by them selfs.
and because i always call my closes friend a coockie friend i thought why not a real coockie friend.LOL

Notion:!!!!
-don't fuse plastic inside your house with closed windows , and when you have long problems ,do this outside and use a mask.
or without those problems too outside or by an open door and a ventilator.;-D
i didn't and i have learned a big lesson after all.LOL
the smells aren't healty too not for animals or kiddo's
-Set your iron on the lowest stand, to start with,
by the thin plastic bags it works on this position, when you use the thicker ones set your flat iron a tiny bit warmer.
always move the whole time your flat iron when you are fusing the bags togehter.
I've not then they will meting away.LOL

it 's fun to make i have used only my materials i still had in my house.
i think the the 3 d paint is the expensive part when you haven't any in the house, but you can use other things too , permanent makers working great as well.
or use knitting yarn for the lines and zigzag them on the doll with your sewing machine.
by creative, i'm sure you are.LOL
and most importend have much crafting fun.

thank you for hopping by;-D
