Let Them Go One By One All Day...

This was a totally random idea that popped into my head earlier this week.  It is inspired by a line from the song "One By One All Day" by The Shins.  It's a clever way to give something folded, and also a neat gift for your fondest fellow craft nerd.

Gifts given at random for no occasion are the best by far.

Step 1 Tools And Materials

I made this mostly from materials I had lying around.  I had to buy the paper for the large snail and the music note paper at Michael's. ran me less than $2.00 for both 12x12 pieces. 

Hardware:

-Compass
-Eraser
-Mechanical pencil
-Fine point black marker
-Utility knife
-Colored marker of your choice.  (mine is an orange Copic marker)
-Scissors
-Folding Tool (optional but helps a lot)
-I used the binder clip to help me take the pics, at times it also helped hold the model while the glue dried.
-glue stick
-Tacky Glue
-Graphing ruler
-French curves
-Circle steps
-Some kind of surface to cut on


Software:

-Vellum
-Thick artsy paper (this came off an ink print I received as a gift and had to trim so I could frame it)
-A 3" square of origami paper
-Thick cardboard
-Green felt with adhesive backing
-Cool music note scrap booking paper
-Brown scrap booking paper with neat text
-Graph paper

Okay lets have fun.
