3D Dragon Head To Mount On Your Wall

As you know from my post about my word of the year, I’m obsessed with Dragons! There’s something about a majestic beast that can fly through the sky!

So when I saw this awesome project in the Cricut Design Space Make It Now projects, I just knew I had to make it!

 

I was a bit nervous making it because I don’t know if I could ever design something like that myself. But thankfully Cricut makes it easy by giving you a list of supplies needed as well as some written instructions.

I figured I should give it a shot so I pulled together my supplies:

  • Cricut machine
  • Cricut Essentials Tool Set (for the scoring tool)
  • Poster board
  • Red cardstock
  • Glue gun with glue sticks
  • Cricut Cutting Mat (strong grip for poster board, standard grip for cardstock)

I didn’t get any patterned paper like the project suggested and just used my red cardstock for the backing, but if you would like to get some patterned paper then you cand definitely do that!

Once I was sure I had everything I needed, I hooked my computer up to my Cricut and clicked “make it now”! I was then taken to a page that showed me all the different steps and the order to cut the pieces out. Before I could start cutting though I had to purchase the design. It’s relatively cheap though for only $1.99 and you can make it anytime you want afterward!

After I purchased the design, I inserted the scoring pen into the slot and followed the on-screen directions for cutting each piece of poster board and cardstock.

When I cut out the cardstock, I made sure to use the standard grip cutting mat as I’ve found that the cardstock likes to stick a bit more to the mats. I also use the spatula tool to help ease the paper off of the mat gently.

After everything was all cut out, I got out my glue gun and glue sticks and brought up the video instructions to build this awesome beast.

Because I’m working with thin paper, I like to make sure I’m using a low-temperature hot glue gun. I’ve had too many incidents in burning myself with glue guns and didn’t want to have any repeat burns.

After about a half hour I had my 3d Dragon head finished!

I’m pretty proud of myself for my first try! And besides, it really was SUPER easy to do it with the Make It Now project instructions! I am excited to make even more of them now because there’s a wide variety of different ones like cards, home decor, and even planner accessories!

What do you think of the 3d Dragon head? If you could make a 3d animal head, what would you make?

As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highl As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highlight something I’m very proud of. 

You see, I used to be an avid reader. I read ALL the time. Like the kid who would stay up way past her bedtime and being a book wherever I went sort of thing. 

One of the realizations for me that I was suffering from anxiety and depression was that I barely read anymore. Like I could count on one hand usually how many books I’d read in a year. And this devastated me because it was and is something I love. 

This year, like others, I made the goal to read more. Didn’t matter what kinds of books or if it was fanfiction. I knew I just needed to read. I got a kindle paperwhite and that plus my AirPods that I got (I count listening as reading because sometimes that’s all I can do), and my meds, helped me to do more. 

When I got this notebook a few months ago, I listed what I’d read and the sight of it makes me so happy to look at. They’re not in chronological order but for next year I will do it that way. 

A lot of these books too have been advanced readers copies! And that’s been really fun to read and review those and I’ll continue to do so.

I tried speaking to her in French but she was stubborn and wanted to speak what she wanted to speak 😹 I can’t complain though because the fact she’s learning an Uber complicated language like Korean makes me proud!

Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I kn Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I know that’s cliche to say but he is my person. He is my positive when I can only think of the negatives in my life. He makes me laugh (and I thankfully make him laugh too!) and I love the family we have created. Even though times are tough and we’ve been hit by many imperial cruisers in our life, we make it through.

Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to fulfill my dream of going to Club 33 for my birthday but I did order cheesecake from @juniorscheesecake through @goldbelly and it was divine! My brother @barney_bro is in the pic with me because his birthday is 2 days after mine. For basically our whole lives we’ve always celebrated together and I am so glad we did it (safely) this year too! He’s the best birthday buddy ❤️

Saturday game night is brought to you by @talkboxm Saturday game night is brought to you by @talkboxmom ❤️ practicing how to say 배고파 (I’m hungry) and similar phrases in Korean. A year ago I never thought I’d be learning Korean, but that’s what Marvel wanted to learn 😹. 

Honestly it’s been a lot of fun and a good challenge for us as a family. We have really fallen in love with Korean (and Korean BBQ lol). 

I’m thinking next year of adding another language. Probably French since it’s one I already know a lot of! 

What language would you like to learn if you could? I really like using talkbox.mom because we use phrases we use at home already so we substitute them in. As such, I’m excited to announce too that we’re brand ambassadors for talkbox.mom! 🥳❤️🥰

Check out talkbox.mom (link in my bio, and hey it would be a good Christmas gift!). I’ve even got some discount codes for you. Use Jessica20 for $20 off a box+book bundle and Jessica5 for $5 off a phrasebook.
