Celtic Design – 12 Circles

Our easy paper crafts project shows how to make this Celtic design with 12 circles using simple tools and inexpensive materials.

The results are both beautiful and interesting.

The first version uses construction paper for the design and background. The yellow matting is simply 24#, yellow 8.5×11 printer paper.

The next version used five different colors of 8.5×11 printer paper on a black construction paper background.

The tools are simple too: scissors, pencil, eraser. As for the frame, it’s optional. The versions here are in a simple acrylic frame found in office supply stores. Or, you can place your design with a matte in a nice frame for a stunning picture. Or, more simply, just glue the project together and display as a paper design.

Even more fun, the components do not have to be precision cut. In fact, wavy lines and slight variations in the widths of the cut forms make the design even more attractive.

Have fun creating your own version of this project!

Another Easy Paper Crafts – Faux Stained Glass Idea

Have you looked at our Easy Paper Crafts – Faux Stained Glass yet?

Here’s another application – similar, yet slightly different.

How about using quilt block patterns to make your stained glass pattern. Here’s a version of the baby block pattern used for the faux stained glass.

Easy-paper-crafts-faux-stained-glass-baby-block-quilt-pattern

Instead of crayons, this faux stained glass uses coloring pencils on tracing paper. The pencils color more consistently, and the tracing paper allows for the transparency.

With a compass and a ruler, you can make your own baby block pattern and size the blocks however you want.

Here is the pattern we used:

Easy-paper-crafts-faux-stained-glass-baby-block-quilt-diagram

As you can see, the pattern repeats and gives the impression of three dimensional blocks stacked on each other.

The size shown here fits into a 5 x 7 frame. The backlighting shows the colors of the faux stained glass. A green construction paper surrounds the pattern with the zig-zag of the top and bottom baby block pattern cut into its border.

Determine the size you want your faux stained glass to be and add more of the blocks as needed.
