Robot Valentine

I saw a card with a robot on it in February's Scrapbooks Ect. and decided to give it a try.  The hardest part was gluing on his eyes.  I tend to get glue everywhere.


His head was made from a 3/4" square punch (non-stampin' up!) His hands were made by punching a  circle with a regular hole punch and then punching around that with a 1/2" circle punch.  I then cut those circles in half to make his hands.  His legs was made by cutting a 3/4 inch circle in half.  The robot's arms and legs were crimped in the crimper and his body is a Hershey's nugget that I wrapped in designer paper. 
The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment,

  2. I saw that also and thought it was cute. I think yours is cuter than the one in the magazine! I want to try it but hate to get anymore chocolates in my house! I think I must have gained three pounds or more this past week.

  3. Oh mmy goodness this is sooo cute! What a fabulous idea, thanks for sharing your version with us!! :) Will have to keep that in mind for a future project. :) Oh, you might try glue dots for the wiggly eyes - they worked well for me when I used them on some gift tags. :)
