Guest Blogger: My Kids & Jumbo Tri-Animals

"Tri-Animals are so cool and really fun to make!"

My kids took over my stamp room last week before I left and create an entire zoo of triangle box critters! These are much larger than the ones they made last year. In most cases, the starting piece of cardstock was a half sheet of cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". We folded the cardstock in half like you would to make a card. Then we made a mark in the center of the 5-1/2" sides at 2-3/4". Score a diagonal line from the mark down the card fold on all four sides.

Claire: First I remembered the animal boxes that we made last spring. (See them here.) I told Thomas and we thought we should make them again. So we asked Mom if she remembered how to make them. And she did! (See her tutorial here.) I used bright colors like blue and green even though real animals aren't those colors. I think my mix & match colors are cool and cute, so I like my style. Here are the animals I made.

Thomas: My sister and I came up with Tri-Animals because we loved the little critter boxes that we made last Spring. Claire and I renamed the boxes Tri-Animals because they are animals in the shape of a triangle. I made a monkey because it is my favorite animal. I was trying to make a lion, but I couldn't get the mane quite right, so I turned it into a giraffe. I also picked a tiger because the tiger is ferocious and I had an idea to make cool stripes.
