In this step by step tutorial we will use our printable Scotland Project Kit to quickly and easily decorate a poster display for a school report on Scotland. The kit can be downloaded from our online store by clicking here. Pieces Included in the Kit: Title Alphabet Writing Template (lined, unlined) Half Page Writing Template Caption Card Borders Photo Frame Photo Corners Icons Supplies to Gather: Printed Kit Assignment (from your school) Rough Draft Photos, Charts, or Other Images Scissors Glue Stick Pencil or Pen Sticky Notes (or scratch paper) Poster Board (any size) Steps 1) Print The first step is to print out the kit. You can use regular letter size (8.5 x11) copy paper. Download your kit files and print, using regular, letter size printer paper. The files are organized into several multipage pdf documents, so that it is easy to print only the pages you need. Print at home, at work, or at copy shop. The kit includes enough pieces for a large display (the kind that folds in 3 and stands up alone). If you have a smaller piece of cardboard, you might not need to print all of the pages, but its handy to have some extra. Writing Templates - Before you print the writing templates, you'll need to decide if you are going to type or handwrite your report, and estimate how many pages you need to write. Estimate the number of writing templates your project requires. If you plan to hand write your report, print the lined templates. If you plan to type, print the blank unlined templates (in a later step we will run them through the printer a second time to add the words). 2) Cut Cut out just 1-3 of type of each type of piece from the kit. You probably won’t need every piece, so it saves time to cut just a few to work with. As you go, cut more pieces only as needed. 3) Borders Borders will make your poster look colorful and professional. We'll add these first because it's easy to decide where they should go, and help us space out all the other pieces. The borders are the only pieces that we recommend gluing down before the very last step (in case you change your mind). Align the borders with edge of your board, and glue. Tip - It is easiest to overlap the borders at the corners of your board, and wrap the extra around the back instead of cutting it off. 4) Pile Now we will start organizing the content of your report. You probably already have an idea of what sections you need from doing your research writing your draft, but laying it out visually can be very helpful. Cutting up your rough draft can also give you a good idea of how much space you will need for written sections. This is a good time to double check your assignment and make sure that you've included all of the required information and sections. Cut your rough draft into sections that you will display separately. Pile together images, and rough draft pieces that will go together in sections. Label with each pile with a sticky note. Double check your assignment, do you have everything that was required? 5) Pair Now you can start to pair the content of your report with the decorative Scotland themed pieces from the kit. Sticky Notes Pair each sticky note with a title or subtitle. Don’t forget your main project title and your name. Rough Draft Pair with writing pieces with the right amount of space for what you want to write. Writing templates - good for full pages of writing. Half page writing templates - good for small explanations. Caption cards - good for captioning images with short sentences. Images Pair rectangular images with photo frames (its easiest to just put your pictures on top of the "frame", don't bother cutting out the middle). If an image is an odd shape, don’t worry. We will decorate these later with photo corners. 6) Plan Now we have a really good idea of how much space everything will take up, so we can begin to place the pieces onto the board. Grab your poster board. Start laying out your pieces on your board to get an idea of how you want to arrange your pieces. Don’t worry if there is a lot of empty space - we have tricks to fill that up later. Tip - It looks best to arrange the largest pieces near the bottom of the board. 7) Title Next, we can use the included alphabet to make custom titles for each of your stick notes. There are some whole words included in the alphabet also, but you'll probably want to make your own custom titles by combining the letters. Cut letters from the alphabet. It's easiest to cut out only the ones you need so the rest stay organized. Refer to your sticky notes to see what letters you need to cut. Arrange the letters on the title card. After you have them arranged the way you like, pick each letter up, one by one, and glue it to the title. 8) Hand Write If you are typing, skip to the next step. (Note that half pages and captions can’t be typed). If you are handwriting your report, just copy your rough draft onto the writing templates, half pages and caption cards. 9) Or, Type Follow these steps to type your report: Take one of the blank writing templates that you printed in step 1. Use a ruler to measure from edge of the paper into the inside of the colored border (this distance will vary a little depending on your printer settings). Set the margins of your word processor inside the borders measured. Print a test page of your type on regular paper. Place the test page on top of the blank border template. Hold up both sheets to a window or light source. You will be able to see if the words are lining up inside the borders. When you are ready, load the writing templates with the borders you printed in step 1 into your printer, and print to add your text. Tip - Note the way your printer feeds, all printers are different, and some flip the paper over or output prints upside down. To test how your printer feeds paper, mark an X at the top edge of a piece of paper and print a test page from your report. Note where the X ends up on your sheet. 10) Photo Corners Adding photo corners is an easy way to make odd sized images look finished and like they belong with the rest of the report. Details like this add a lot to bring your display together visually. Just place one photo corner on top of each of the corners of the image. (Its best to wait to the end to glue in case you want to move the image) 11) Icons Use the Scotland clip art "stickers" from the kit to fill any empty spaces and make your report look colorful and interesting. Use the icons to fill in any spaces that look too empty. Icons can also be used to emphasize a topic section. 12) GLUE! Finally! When you are sure where you want everything, you can glue. It can be very helpful to take a picture before you start to glue, just in case things get moved around (or your cat jumps on your dinning room table etc.) Pick up only piece one at a time (so you don’t forget where it goes) and use a glue stick to glue it to your board. Yahoo! You are done. Go turn that project in with pride. If you post your project on facebook or instagram, tag us @schoolprojectprintables and we'll feature you on our feed ;)

Found at Carrigaphooka Castle. Thanks to David from The Old Pretenders for giving me the opportunity to build a mummified Leprechaun. I wanted to do it for some time. I have always liked contrasts and the idea of an evil old mummified creature in a extravagant green suit and large hat really appealed to me. I wanted him to look like an uncivilized creature trying to look civilized, clothes made up of old handcherchiefs and stolen jewelry The figure with box is about 35cm.

There’s a question. Probably the single most popular question readers ask me. Where do I find inspiration? The question actually frightens me. It makes me want to tear at my hair and run out of the room screaming. I’m only half-kidding. See the problem is this: I do not know what inspires me. I haven’t looked into...Read More »

I have some fancy folding for you today - 3-D Celtic Knot Embellishments. They look great in gold glimmer paper. The knots look impressively intricate - but you can learn to fold them with just a little practice. The basic knot shape is of one-piece construction, which is convenient --- and a nice party trick! All the knots work on the same principle: fold the "arms" to the centre, then swing the free side to the back. You can catch a hoop in the loops for an extra-fancy touch - loop-de-loop deluxe. Print the Celtic Knots template onto the wrong side of the paper, then cut and fold. There are tutorials for each shape of knot. There's also a download for a bag topper. The idea is that a cello pack of Celtic Knot embellishments would make a welcome gift for a calligrapher or card-maker: 3-D illuminated manuscripts! Fix the knots onto your project with sticky dots. Here are your downloads: CelticKnots.pdf CelticKnotBagTopper.pdf I've done tutorial sheets for the three knot shapes - the squares, the trefoils, and the hearts: If you'd like to learn how to design your own 2-dimensional Celtic Knots, these books by Sheila Sturrock are great: Celtic Knotwork Handbook Celtic Spirals Handbook Both books are from GMC Publications Ltd. Neither title is new - but they are worth tracking down. The first title is available used and new, the second is still in print. Each title de-mystifies the process of drawing Celtic Knots in a clear and user-friendly manner - and throws in a bit of history to boot. The books are intended for pencil-drawing, but if you've gone digital than the geometric principles still apply, of course. Have fun illuminating your manuscripts, gifts, or cards.

In his Confessions St Patrick wrote, "I was sixteen and knew not the true God, but in a strange land the Lord opened my unbelieving eyes, and I was converted." Patrick became convinced that the kidnapping and homesickness were actually opportunities to know Christ better. "Anything that happens to me," he wrote, "whether pleasant or distasteful, I ought to accept with [serenity] giving thanks to God … who never disappoints." Knowing that this serenity didn't come from his own strength, Patrick wrote, "Now I understand that it was the fervent Spirit praying within me." In 432 Patrick used his own money to purchase a boat and sail back to Ireland, where he had been enslaved. Patrick spent the rest of his life preaching the Gospel in Ireland, bringing many people to faith in Christ. He also passionately defended the human rights of slaves, and he died on this day in 461. This painting of St Patrick evangelising the king of Ireland is in the Basilica of Our Lady of Victory in Lackawanna near Buffalo, NY.
