Technique Tuesday - Wobbles

Wow! What a Technique Tuesday Hiatus!! I hope to be back with them more regularly after Christmas, but I just had to try this out and share it with you! It took me about 2 minutes to do. Seriously. So quick.
I have heard people talking about "Wobbles" lately and I wanted to try to see if I could make them myself. And then, when the cards for the Card Swap came in, somebody had made one themselves and put it on a card - so I was SURE it could be done!

Some of you will know of my La La Land Crafts Digital Stamp addiction that I have right now, and when I was deciding what I wanted to use for a stamp on my card to wobble....I knew right away that it would be Luka On Sled!! He's so adorbale. I coloured him up with lots of Copic Markers and then went to work on the card!

So, let's see what we have.....

What you need:
A thin crafting wire about 4-5" long. (I actually used a twist tie as it was all I had on hand)
Scotch Tape


First....twist the wire around your finger about 3-4 times:

Next....tape the "spring" to the item you want to wobble with scotch tape:

And finally.....tape the other end of the spring to your card:

And watch it wobble away!!!

Disclaimer....I think these will work better on smaller/symmetrical shapes as he was a little off balance. I wanted him to wobble around the sled though so I didn't move the spring up any. I actually made a second one and attached it behind his head and DIDN'T attach that one to the card. It just helps it hold its position.

The paper I used was from last year's Fancy Pants Wintertime collection from out of my stash!
