Designer:  Lisa Storms

My kids are always asking to have a lemonade stand.  I am by no means a carpenter, so I thought I'd craft them up a "stand" Fiskars-style!

Instructions (Print version)

Banner:

1.  Using the Ultra ShapeXpress and Circles Shape Template, cut four 4" yellow circles, four 3.5" light yellow circles, and four 3" yellow circles.

2.  Center and adhere 3.5" circles onto 4" circles and trim in half. 

3.  Trim 3" circles into eight segments by cutting in half once, then again, then again.  Adhere four onto each lemon wedge.

4.  Add chipboard letter to each wedge. 

5.  Punch 1/16" hole on each side of wedge to tie banner together with white string.

6.  Punch several very light yellow seeds using Tear Hand Punch and add randomly to wedges.

7.  Use Craft Knife to cut small slit into each side of vinyl tablecloth and insert brad.  Wrap ends of banner around brad to secure.  This allows you to remove the banner after use and store easily to reuse lemonade stand again.

 

Chalkboard:

1.  Punch three XL Seal of Approval punches from yellow. 

2.  Cut three 2-1/4" circles from yellow and three 2-1/8" circles from light yellow using Circle Cutter.

3.  Layer and adhere all three sets together and cut in half. 

4.  Punch several very light yellow seeds using Tear Hand Punch and add randomly to wedges.

5.  Adhere five wedges along top of chalkboard using foam adhesive for scalloped border.

6.   Punch six April Showers punches from yellow and adhere down sides of chalkboard.

7.  Add lettering to bottom of chalkboard and write in price with chalk to complete project.

 

Lemon Straws:

1.  Punch desired number of XL Mint Condition punches from yellow.

2.  Punch 1/4" hole in center of each and slide onto straw for super quick but super cute detail.
