Fleur di Lis Bookmarks

Living in New Orleans the Fleur-di-lis is really big. Now, since the Superbowl, if the Fleur-di-Lis's are black & gold, they are very popular. I made these just to have a little fun and to test out my Gypsy. They came out beautifully.

Details:
Gypsy to design & weld
George & Basic Shapes Cart for the rectangle
Gypsy Wanderings Cart for the fleur di lis
Home Made Glimmer Mist (Sparkle Gold) on the gold fleur di lis. (doesn't show up in the pic, but in person it is beautiful!!!!)

Fleur-di-lis Pins/Necklaces

Well, we live in the New Orleans area. So right now, everyone is having Black & Gold Fever. Go Saints 7-0!!!!! My daughter's school was having a Black & Gold Day yesterday before the Saints vs. Falcons game. Her teacher is a huge Saints fan & already gives not HW on Monday if the Saints win. So this week it is Tuesday, Woo Hoo!!

But anyway, I made these pins for my daughter's class & her teacher. Not sure if the boys (3rd grade) would wear the pins, I added yard so they would have a choice to wear them around their neck.

I sized the fleur-di-lis from the Wild Card Cricut Cart. in CDS. The larger one was 4x4 and the smaller one was 3x3. They are cut out of Shrinky Dink shrink plastic. I cut them using my Cricut w/ the deep cut blade set on 6 & on multi cut 4 (twice) and I still had to finish cutting them out with an exacto knife.

After they were cut out, I placed them in the oven to shrink (follow package instructions). I used acrylic paint to color them. The gold paint that I got was metallic & actually looked better on the wrong side of the piece, so that's how I put them together. I used E-6000 glue (recommended) to adhere the fleur-di-lis together and to attach the pin to the back.

The teacher & all of the kids really loved them.
