Naki Jandals

2013-05-18T16:50:00.001+12:00

Son's Naki Jandals.... Go Naki!

Billy T joke: A Maori guy is strutting about in the pub with only one jandal on. A guy looks about the pub for the other jandal, doesn't find it, goes up to him and says 'Oh mate - you lost a jandal? Maori replies proudly ' Nah Bro - I just FOUND one.'

Hahahaha....cracks me up

Backpacks and Sharpies

2013-05-14T11:39:00.004+12:00

These backpacks were $4 at The Warehouse at a 'back to school' sale. My mate was going back to school to learn Maori so I thought I'd give her something to take her lunch in. (Lunch boxes ain't big enough lol)

Armed myself with a Black Sharpie and got practicing Koru Art Lessons

Started on the top, front, top of pocket, front of pocket...

...then the shoulder straps...

... = a lunch box to be jealous of.

Of course I made one for myself (selfish thing that I am) and took it as hand luggage on the plane when I went to Oz (no I didn't have my lunch in it). Got lots of friendly 'hello's from Kiwis while over there....nice!

A big shout out to Renee who leads a Canadian Girl Guide Brownie group. I'm really sorry these got here late - but here they are nonetheless.

A mock-up of what they might look like. You can make them plain (one-sided)....

A big shout out to Denise Parnell, who has asked for Maori Frames in Word format, so that she can just type into them. Great idea!

Download Maori Frame2 for Word

Open up the file in Word, click in the middle of the frame and begin writing. Remember to save the file as something else so you'll have the original to work with at other times, or save the original as a template.

Maori Valentine Cut Away Cards

2012-01-28T14:47:00.001+13:00

Maori Valentine Cut Away Cards

A little different, this one.

Cut out the card pieces and fold as shown in the photo.

Position the pieces as shown. Add glue (on the back of the inpaper) near the center fold to keep the card together. Its nice if the inpaper is allowed to flap about a bit.

Maori Valentine Stand Up Hearts

Make these stand up Hearts for Valentine's Day! Use as decorations or cards... or both!

Wording

Me te arohanui..........................................With lots of love

Taku aroha nui ki a koe..............................My love for you is great (lots)

Me toku aroha tino nui ..............................With my love (lots and lots)

Me te aroha ..............................................With love

Cut out heart pieces and fold along the lines on the tab.

Glue the end of the tab to the back of the heart, about a third of the way down from the top. You'll need to bend the tab near the base to help make the heart stand properly.

You can fold the base flat as shown in the picture above if you want to use as a card and send it away in the post.

Simple Maori Valentine Pop Up Cards

2012-01-23T18:16:00.003+13:00

In response to a message from Kotahitanga Maori Playgroup asking if anything was going to pop up for Valentine's Day... we have, first up.... Simple Maori Valentine Pop Ups.

The wording 'e ipo' means 'darling'

Cool wee simple pop up cards, easy to make.

Cut out the basic card.

Fold the piece in half.

Finish cutting around the heart. Because the piece can get flimsy and weak when handling it, I've found this is the best, easiest and quickest way to assemble. Dab glue on the back of the heart near the top, so the heart sticks together.

Fold the patterned base towards the heart. Glue the patterned base onto the plain base. Fold the plain base in half to hide the pop up.

Download Maori Valentine Simple Pop Up – Pink

The middle piece of the download is the card base. There was only room for one on the page...you'll need to cut two to make the cards on each download page. Just use the existing one as a template.

More Maori Valentine stuff coming up....stay tuned!
