The following is a presentation of TFNN the morning market kickoff With your host Tommy O'Brien Good morning everybody I'm gonna get my chart up here folks for some reason my charts just caught out and my says my session expired But they're coming back up. Give me one moment there there I'm gonna hit the button jump over to my screens load it and we got my charts live back again And we need charts today folks because this market is rocking We got the S&Ps right now you're up 45 points on a pretty hot CPI number But on the core number put out a newsletter to my subscribers yesterday folks saying pay attention to the core number man Energy prices they're gonna make the headline number be dramatic no matter what but the market may care a little bit more about What's happening on the core aspect because we all know that energy prices are out of control right now with oil around a hundred dollars Core number comes in a little bit soft and man that market takes it and runs with it man We got the S&Ps up an even 1% right now You're up 44 points trading at 44.52 right now. We have the Nasdaq 100 up 242 points look at this acceleration man You're up 340 points about from where you were overnight folks things looking a little dire last night 13,902 just like that. Look at that pop on the CPI data 14,000 238 the Dow up 184 points right now We just traded up 400 points from the overnight lows and the Russell back over 2000 Bitcoin catching a bit with the market back above 40,000 and 40,000 480 crude catching a bit as well We make it to 92 dollars yesterday just like that We're back to 98 dollars in the price of crude up about four dollars gold contract catching a bit as well 1977 golds up $9 that's 1.5% and we jump over to notes and bonds Little bit of a reversal of the price action. We have been getting folks now. Here's what I'll say Yes, we're at 2.72 percent folks. We're getting a little bit of a pop in the price But you take a look at this chart man Of course, you're gonna get a pop in the price at some point folks You just traded from a 129 handle to a 119 handle in about a month folks Okay, even if you get back within this channel line lower prices higher yield they're coming at us But eventually you're gonna get a little bit of a reprieve in terms of the 10 year Oversold right now that would be the case and boy this market. It's gonna be an interesting open folks We're 22 minutes away from that opening bell and let's jump into the inflation numbers headline number This is what you're gonna see out there for the headline number 8.5 percent quite a number man It is real folks to Households you don't get to take food and energy out of your household expenditures folks That's a real number versus last year April of 2021 We are paying 8.5 percent for consumer prices more than we were one year ago The most since 1981 that was following a 7.9 percent gain in February We knew the numbers were gonna be high energy prices put pushing that up in a big way Now we jump down to the core number because this is what I want to focus on it's what the market's focusing on in my opinion right now Core prices from a month ago only point three percent from a month earlier only six point five percent now 6.5 percent when you take out food and energy When you think about the number of just the pure dollars that we spend on food and energy And when you think about the rising costs of food that we all know grocery store Let alone energy and gas prices going up Take those out of the equation and we're still paying six point five percent from a year ago But both of those numbers less than what the market was looking for Treasuries of course rising on a year-over-year basis goods inflation excluding food and energy and used vehicles Rising eight point one percent in March that adds the used vehicles in there because used vehicles are just bonkers now used vehicles pulling back a lot Okay, this month if you're thinking about getting rid of a used car folks buying something new go out and do it now Services increase five point one percent from a year ago the biggest advance since 1991 airline fairs 10.7 percent in March from a month earlier. Did you see that? From a month earlier shelter costs which include rent in hotels point five percent for a second month That's what it was last one and here you go use car prices down 3.8 percent in March second straight monthly decline new car prices Meanwhile rising slightly if you're thinking about getting a new car if you're thinking about trading in a used car It's not too late. I would encourage you to go out and do it prices for household furnishings furnishings and supplies rose one percent in February Energy costs as we all know Spiking in a big way the CPI reports show that energy prices rose 11 percent in March from the prior month the most since 2005 gas prices 18.3 percent largest gain since 2009 that said here we go gas prices have started to decline in recent weeks in part because of Sinking demand in China where several major cities are under lockdown If sustained the drop suggests that energy prices will have less of an impact on inflation in April It's gonna be an interesting one in April Even so inflation projected to stay near six percent by the end of the year That's gonna keep pressure on the Fed as they talk about but maybe for the first time in a while a slight reprieve I mean, I'm gonna just say the slightest of slight. How about that? Is that English the slightest of slight reprieves and I'm half kidding folks But the market is just catching a breather right now, okay It's up 37 points the core number comes in a little bit soft I'm gonna check this out as well as we come into the break We're gonna be talking over man Kevin Hinks from TD Ameritrade fast market coming after the break can't wait to get his take on this But boy, it's gonna be an interesting open folks because this is quite an acceleration to higher prices when we get an 8.5 percent number and yes Excuse me. You're talking about a core number at point three percent But folks that's still a point three percent core number when we're dealing with oil at a hundred dollars We're dealing with food prices are elevated substantially But for the first time maybe a little bit of waning in terms of the trends, okay? You want the trend to be on your side the trend has been accelerating to higher prices Maybe we've reached a slight peak and I say maybe many times folks because we don't know yet and the Fed's gonna say They don't know yet either. Okay, they need more data the Fed was very aware where this number was gonna come in In my opinion the interesting stuff for data folks is gonna come in the next three or six months They're gonna be hiking. They're still probably come with 50 basis points. Okay, but maybe the market is thinking at this point That they might be able to get inflation under control if already the core number is back to point three percent All right, if they're bringing the heat with 50 basis points, maybe they bring it with a couple meetings If you're already seeing core prices at only point three percent, maybe you see energy gonna wane a bit as well I say that though and we got crude up four dollars and 18 cents right now to 98 dollars and 46 pennies Keep that in mind and the market now S&P given back almost 15 points from the high We're at you came into that number of 44 15 So you pop about 30 points the Nasdaq 100 man You just popped about 200 points from where we're at. We were trading at 14,040. You're now trading at 14,000 218 let's jump around to some of the fang stocks. See how we're trading this morning We'll kick it off with Apple Apple shares jump about $2.50. We're at 168 28. You were trading at 165 75 as of the close yesterday Microsoft shares right now up a few dollars to 288 man, Microsoft really pulling back yesterday Excuse me folks still battling a little bit of a cold 285 down Excuse me up $3, but man look at that move now. This is a daily. Okay. This is not tying in this morning's action But boy Microsoft that was quite a leap yesterday And there were a couple of notes put out on Microsoft that was not just the market talking about maybe having some problem with Microsoft 365 waning numbers, etc But Microsoft catching a $3 bid would jump over to King dog Amazon shares up about 50 bucks to 3078 right now.

Good morning Good morning Tommy or Brian. Well, we've been talking about this number For about a week or so as being a number that might be explosive and the expectations were big and At least the headline number delivered on those but it was the core Tommy the ex food and energy number and Some of the metrics frankly within the number that really gave this market a little bit of a relief rally that we're looking at here Well, you know, we'll see how this day plays out But you know with the 10-year yield now back down towards 2.272 here We're getting a little bit of a relief rally Tommy and not really surprising frankly You've been talking about Kevin that 10 year oversold. I got it up in the think-as-soom platform here Man, you put it on a daily basis and this run that it's had from March 7th with a 129 handle We get down to a 119 handle and just Kevin since the overnight session I know you're looking at it, man, but we just traded up almost a full point. No more than a full point We're at 119 10 and we're trading at 120 10 right now In the 10 year and the core number as you put it point 3% on a monthly basis Kevin I think I saw that's the lowest number since September of last year What's your take on the core number and maybe where that might lead things you think this market and it's going to be an interesting Open in 10 minutes man for sure But what do you think about point three percent on a monthly you're always telling us watch the monthly right? Everybody knows the last 11 months. We're just looking at the last month coming in. What do you think about that point three percent? Yeah, and and that number Excluded energy which the energy numbers delivered. They were crazy. They were energy up 11 percent you Gaffling up 18.3 energy energy commodities up 18.1 fuel oil up 22.3 percent. No, that's not annual. That's a month. So but here's Tommy commodities Less food and energy down point four used cars and trucks down 3.8 percent So you are starting to see some peak and some remember this number was measured right during the peak of the Russia Ukraine War so you knew that energy prices were going to be volatile and up there But even energy has already come down from those peak levels So the question that traders gonna have to have to ask themselves today Are we seeing peak inflation? Did we see it? And if so if this tenure yield settles in here between 2.6 and 2.8 percent What does that do for the market going forward and so at least now the initial reaction market likes it Tommy Yeah, it's pretty interesting and at least gives gives Maybe some some hope that they were kind of reaching maybe a pendulum that we get a little bit of a swing When you hear that the core number rising the slowest since we've seen some September That of course gonna give you a little hope that maybe we're seeing kind of some of those trends shifting a little bit You talked about the used car prices down for the second month 3.8 percent I think I saw new new car prices edging up a little bit So maybe those kind of weird tendencies during the pandemic starting to sort themselves out maybe just in the tiniest bit But nonetheless man the market poof they try and Market Kevin as we say it's a leading indicator and it's trying to lead right now as in get ahead of the the trends in 204 right now in the Nasdaq 100 futures. It's gonna be an interesting open We jump to some of the banks Kevin. I wanted to ask you about so pretty interesting the swings We're getting in the 10-year. I think we saw a high yield overnight of 2.82 percent and just like that We're down to tenth of a percent back to 2.72 percent. We get some of the banks kicking things off this week I think it Wells Fargo Goldman Morgan Stanley City. What's your take on some of these banks, man? It's been a tough go around as we've seen yields coming up.  What's your take as we come into bank earnings this week kicking things off? Well, we're gonna trade JP Morgan on today's show as well as Delta Airlines and bedbath and beyond So we'll start looking at the bank as of today as they come out with earnings You know JP Morgan is first tomorrow morning Then you'll get Goldman City Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo on Thursday or on Wednesday So or yeah Thursday morning. Sorry. So there'll be a lot for us to talk about in those But you know, you're right Tommy the banks have had a rough run and why is that? Why have the banks have had a rough run? Well, even though yields are going up the yield curve is flattened, right? Where they and that affects some of their profit margins as well. So even though an Overall rising yield environment is good for the banks a flattened yield curve takes away Some of that luster now if this starts to unwind a little bit and yields settle in here at 2.7 But the yield curve starts to steepen. Well, that's better for the banks And they've made a rail a comeback here the last couple days, but they've been under pressure You know JP Morgan was as high as a hundred and seventy dollars is now a hundred and thirty three So it's not like these banks have gone straight up as rates have gone up You know, you got Bank of America that that was fifty dollars now It's thirty nine dollars. So, you know the banks coming out with earnings the next couple days should be Fairly interesting to and we're gonna go over them all the next couple days Tommy this one man I'm trying to wrap my head around it and you make some great points man And that is what's driving this market But when you think about where yields were Kevin back in just last year middle last year I mean JP Morgan, I got it up right now in a weekly just pulling on the thinkorswim platform last year You were chopping around between about 150 and 170 you started the year off at 130 almost where we're at right now at a time Would many have thought and I'm answering, you know, no You wouldn't have thought that as we have yields rising to 2.8 percent that you'd see JP Morgan back to 133 I just pulled it up. They got a dividend yield of about 3% at these prices I'm trying to wrap my head around that one man But as we know there's a lot going on in these equities. Well, Kevin man, we appreciate the time the education So we're talking JP Morgan, which is great because that's what I wanted to talk about myself But then yeah, as you talked about we have bedbath and beyond the Delta Airlines now real quick Kevin Delta I've been talking about for a while man that eventually And I'm not the only one travel stocks will catch a bid man really interesting though the same thing like JP Morgan You get the banks dealing with two different issues, right? You get the high yields They're gonna help them and then you get everything else going on that may hurt them The airlines you have so much demand going on for those travel stocks, but we have oil at like a hundred dollars right now What's kind of give us a little teaser for the Delta take coming up on fast market at 12 today? well, you know the US is going through a pretty Solid economic recovery right now and you're seeing it in the travel stocks and you know that's not only the airlines, but it's speedy and bookings and This whole sector is having a nice little comeback here I mean Delta got down to you know below $30 not very long going at the beginning of end of February beginning of March Now it's back up to 38 and probably gonna be up up this morning again So yeah, the airlines here's the thing Tommy the airlines are a volatile trade when things are normal when the economy is normal So they're even more volatile now.  Well, Kevin We appreciate you taking the time to talk with us man, and we look forward to the program at 12 today They say it's gonna be an interesting one, but today especially we got we got three and a half minutes till the opening bell Kevin and We'll be looking forward to your program at 12 noon today, man Thanks for having me on Tommy have a great day.

They're they're higher They reached a deal in Northern, California having to deal with some of the fires Hewlett Packard enterprises, they were a little bit lower. They get a downgraded Morgan Stanley From to underway from equal weight. Let's see how they're trading HPE Yeah, down about 1.9 percent when the market's rocking higher crowd strike this one's been an interesting company Let's pull up crowd strike for a CRWD is their symbol Crowd strike pulls right back to the 50% of the entire run you had for COVID this morning Now that's a weekly we put it back on the daily today catching a little bit of a pop You're back to kind of this area that we've had a little bit of resistance in though crowd strike up 4.5 percent right now to 226 Albertsons are in 75 cents to share 11 above estimates revenue above estimates as well able to effectively deal with increased supply chain and Product costs, you know how they were? I'm guessing they raised prices folks ACI is their symbol And they're down 3.1 percent catching a little bit of a bid on the open there But yeah, that's a tough go around for Albertsons So they beat on earnings they beat on Revlon. I'm guessing the outlook is not as big as they would like Deutsche Bank so insider selling Deutsche Bank an undeclose shareholder sold 5% stake in both Deutsche Bank and rival German Lender Commerce Bank generating a total about 1.9 billion I would not be touching Deutsche Bank folks Let's put this thing on a daily you're at 1183 Yeah, I if you want to get some banks check out fast market at 12 They're gonna be talking about JP Morgan and boy if you're looking to get in some of these equity soaks now JP Morgan your data percent today We take out the weekly though I mean pretty remarkable as I talked about with Kevin considering where yields were back in the middle last year If you have greater aspirations than them what the market is looking for in terms of how it's pricing in a recession Might not be a bad deal. You're getting a 3% dividend these rates for JP Morgan I'll be interested to see what they have to say on fast market coming at 12 myself this market. It's waning a bit We got the S&Ps down excuse me up 25. Well, look at that sell-off folks. We just came back We were up at 44 62 you're off almost 30 points from where we were on that flash high Just about 40 minutes ago prior to 9 a.m. Eastern time this morning And what else we got Cisco gets a downgrade to sell from Neutral saying the networking equipment competitors juniper networks and Arista networks are poised to gain market share from Cisco Let's jump over these real quick Cisco CSCO. That's a five minute chart They catch a bid at the open you're only down about eight tenths percent juniper up eight tenths percent We take a look at a little bit of longer term chart. I mean yet check out that chart That's the one I wanted to get you this stock has been so strong man last year you open it about 23 you're trained at 35 Compare that to Cisco you opened at 44 you give back a lot of those gains early this year from 64 to 52 Cisco though what I will say you're in a kind of a nice area here That it's found support on a couple occasions if you're looking for a trade in Cisco Not sure I'd be getting in just yet You're down six tenths percent when you get the market trading higher But maybe get back to a slight area that you might be finding a bid for Cisco shares What else we got up here? Let's see Yeah, so let's jump into the car max a little bit more Felon early trading fourth quarter used vehicle sales misdests amidst soaring prices and anxiety over the economy keeping some customers away Declining consumer confidence and affordability 6.5% drop in the number of used cars it sold last quarter now You tie this together with the number. We just got right CPI data We had used car prices down 3.8 percent this month following a decrease the prior month As I said folks if you're getting rid of a used car go to an ASAP that would be my encouragement average price of a car rose 40 percent or $8,300 in the period ending February 28th compared with a year ago. That is bonkers There's no other way to put it that is a technical term bonkers folks It is think about it the average prices of a car rising 40 percent Just absolutely amazing Price to move use car prices are beginning to slip after surging the pandemic so check it out Right now we've had a little bit of a wane before but my estimate would be folks that there's an I mean we hear it all the time people go and buy a car and You hear that use car prices are almost more expensive than you new car prices. All right That's not how the world works folks eventually. They're gonna meander back to the mean navigate back to the mean And and you're seeing that play out in the use car prices and that was one of the areas hit hardest for the pandemic Right. We got chip shortages. You got a shortage of new vehicles And what I will say in general folks is that in normal times you get that pullback Going out and getting a vehicle.

You pull it up, interesting action here So this goes back to talk about a long term chart, man This is the yield on the tenure Okay, and yeah, that is quite an acceleration to a trend line I would guess we're going to go through that trend line folks Now our man Kevin Hinks, he has talked about it Might not be just yet, okay We might get quite a pause when you look at this acceleration that we've had recently But I imagine we're going higher folks That is my estimate, okay You've got the tenure at pretty low levels when you've got still inflationary numbers At very lofty levels to put it lightly Now here's what I'll do, I jumped over to some of the action on just the price action Now the tenure for me, when I put it on a max Only goes back to about 2002, 2003 for whatever reason on a continuous basis But if you take a look at the 30 year, just out of curiosity Look where we are Interesting action in terms of where we are folks, that's going back to 1999 Now this chart they had up here goes back to the 80s, the 90s Probably even the 70s back here Maybe that's 1980 back here But again, we're technicians, a lot of us And that's kind of pretty important area when you look at that trend line going back to 19 No, back to the year, yeah, December of 1999 You had the 30 year with price action of 90 You're sitting at 142 right now Now here's what I'll say folks, okay Now this article which is interesting, it talks about here If you're close to retirement And you got your money in Treasuries or Any type of fixed income like they're talking about here Total returns in treasuries this year folks Slumped 8%, that's just as of now Worst annual decline since 1973 I've been talking about it for a while folks Okay, the 60-40 split of portfolio diversification Has not gone through a period that we may have right now for some time And that's putting it lightly And when you get this type of a rise in yields You get a destruction in price Now yes, if you are holding things through expiration Okay, you're getting the yield you want But that's not off what happens folks So many people will get into a treasury fund Or something like that They'll think that's the fixed income part of their portfolio that's protected And little do they know that you're down 8% in that portion of your portfolio this year So be careful on that one in a big way But interesting action, when you look at where we are In terms of the yield on the 10-year Spiking up to that trend line Now in order to our man, Bud Rolfs folks When you're talking about channels Okay, now this, you could call this a channel You could call it a channel that got a little bit out of whack on the downside Okay, but when you break out of a channel The real key is you want to see a break out of that channel You want to see it come back and test that trend line And then trade higher, if that happens Watch out folks, and it's totally possible The data is going to be a big part That's going to drive the Fed And we are really going to get some interesting action over the next three or six months The market almost just breathing a sigh of relief I would say on this number In terms of not getting an expectation A beat versus expectation Core number, 0.3% And again, the expectation on the core number on a monthly basis was 0.5% The reason why this is especially important Is because that's a big difference on a monthly basis Percentage-wise, now percentages on very small numbers Are totally deceiving, okay But, you know, 0.3% off of 0.5 That's a 60% number, right 0.3% is only a 60% rise Of the 0.5% they were expecting If you ever push that onto an annual basis On a monthly basis, if prices are rising 0.5% That's a 6% number that you'll get on a year If you've got 12 months at 0.5% You're going to have a 6% rise on a yearly basis If you don't compound I know there'd probably be some compounding there If you're going up every month But for simple math, let's not compound it 0.5% is 6% Wow, we came in at 0.3% That's only 3.6% folks So on a monthly basis, core numbers are going up 3.6% right now If you carry it out 12 months The market was looking for a number that was going to push it at almost 6% There's where you see that the trend can really shift Where we are, where we're going And what the market's looking at I talked about it on my newsletter yesterday, folks Let me see if I can pull it up real quick I think I had it up, did I? Yeah, just here Let me just say, because this is something I would keep in mind Because this is going to be a trend that is going to continue, folks Next month's CPI data, when we get it Alright, this is a note I put out Two subscribers yesterday One I want to focus on, alright We get the CPI at 830, expectation is 8.4% Here's the part I want to focus on I will be more interested in the core number Which takes out food and energy as the energy component Will likely skew the numbers dramatically to the upside And the market may dismiss amiss If it has to do with oil, the core numbers expect to derive 6.6% Which is still amazing Even without those two components But I'm more interested in the core number Guess what, the market's more interested in that number too This morning, folks, and that is going to continue In a big way I also said JP Morgan kicks it off on Wednesday As our man Kevin Hinks was talking about Now, JP Morgan catching a little bit of a bid On the open, check that out You're up 6.10% ahead of their number You jump over to the analyze tab You're looking at a $5 move coming into their earnings That's a pretty decent move from the bank earnings They don't normally move too dramatic When you talk about the bank earnings In terms of what they're doing You do get a dividend yield of 3% with this company I do not have any JP Morgan, folks But I'm looking at it And I would encourage you to take a look at it too Because it would make sense in my opinion To be a little bit diversified to some of the banks At this price level, okay When banks are pushing 173 When they're pushing 170 A little bit harder to rationalize But when you're pushing 134 You got a 3% dividend yield You got inflation out of control And you have yields on the rise It might help you wane some of the volatility Going on in this market And as I speak, the market's catching a bid The second time this morning As we now have the S&Ps up 45 points Let's put it back to a 5 minute chart And we're going to be pushing the highs We have this market, man, watch out This is going to be an interesting one, folks Not a lot of days like today We're very fortunate with the market we have As traders right now Look at the Dow Look just what happened when the Dow So much for a sell-off These are 5 minute charts, folks The Dow just traded, look at this Just from where we were at 9 in the morning You trade down 150 points And then the market opens and we trade Up 200 points in the Dow S&Ps From 44.60 to almost 44.30 Back to 44.53 Let's jump around to some of those Dow stocks Walmart shares Up about 4.10% right now McDonald's up about 2.10% right now Everything's going to be in the green Mostly in this market And look at the Russell Up 2% right now Crude nearing $100 yet again And gold Giving back some of those gains Up $20 right now for the gold Contract at 1968 Alright, what else we got pulled up here to discuss Let me take a look What are we talking about? Yeah, airports We got a couple We're going to take a break, folks We're going to talk about Apple They're going to be talking about their watch 2024 For blood pressure But we're also going to be talking about airports This is the interesting one So airports are clogged with queues As travel, rebounds, strains, resources For shortages I mean, I talked about Kevin They're going to be talking about Delta Airlines Delta with their earnings this week as well We'll take a look at some of those travel stocks Delta up 6.10% right now Quite the charge higher yesterday As you had travel stocks rockin' higher Boy, you look at this stock, right?

Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. As you can see, I have a Christmas train. Yay. I have been waiting to do this and I am just so pleased with how it's turned out. I'm going to show you how to make all of this. It is so, so simple. It really is easy. There's just lots to it. So you need to watch the tutorial, give yourself an afternoon or a long morning and you will be able to make this. Now I, you can make this as long as you want. The carriages are all the same so you can just carry on and carry on and carry on. I've just done these two carriages and then the main train. So if I just turn it up now this way, you can see I've made it so that these are little hinges so you can obviously shape it. So if you do want to have more and you want to have a circle of them maybe around your tree or running along a long sideboard or whatever it is that you have. But I'm going to fill these with candy cane.  So they're actually three of the same. This is what I mean. You can see they're just three carriages. They're all the same but it's just the way that you decorate it. But the end one here, I always have at Christmas time, you know when you you put your Christmas lights on you always get a few little spare bulbs and you get maybe get a couple of strings extra for like hanging. Ball balls, there's just bits and I always want something to put them in so this is going to be for that and then these are going to have candy canes in them which I love to eat. So yeah this is my Santa's candy train and I love it. I've put a little bit of if I bring this up closer here there's some little bit of warding which I do I should stick actually but that's just sat in there just to look like steam and on the very front here you can see there and I've put these little embellishments to kind of look like lights but I mean you can that kind of thing you can decorate however you want and really close up on the wheels they have that little hardware that I've used before the little stamping up they look like little rivets and screws and things that one there's got stars on and then I've just got the bows my favourite sprig dyes and some bells and it is adorable it is so strong these have all been reinforced and yeah I'm using my favourite craft card and they match my lanterns and my mini lanterns that's why I've stuck with this traditional colour which is what I love anyway and that's what my Christmas colours are so yeah let's have fun and make this really cool project okay so first of all you're going to need a piece of 11 by eight and a quarter I'm using the craft card this is 300gsm and it's just so strong it's just brilliant for these more rigid kind of projects things that you want to last a long time than I always like to use the craft card now how many pieces of this is completely up to you so whether you're making the train or the carriages this is the size that you will need so if you just want to make the train the main bit at the front just one piece if you just want the train and one carriage then you'll need two and if you want a whole kind of you know really long train then you can have as many as you want so the scoring I do now will be the same on every single one so along the eight and a quarter inch size you just want to score at three inches and at five and a quarter so that will give you a three inch side okay and then rotate it onto the 11 and you're going to again score it three and eight so again you've got a three inch on each side then flip it back along the eight and a quarter inch side and you're going to score at two and a half just down to the first score line okay and then five and three quarters just down to the first score line so you're creating these two half inch tabs okay then flip the card over so you've got the other eight and a quarter inch side now at the top and again score at two and a half just down to that first score line and at five and three quarters it doesn't matter that the score lines are reversed because these are actually just going to be cut lines okay so you can just see there that's what you should have so along your short eight and a quarter inch side you want to have these score lines just going to the first one and again here and then that's it in that profile okay with the scoreboard and then next you just want to burnish all of these score lines okay so that's my score lines burnished next you need to cut down the if you're long the long inch side the long inch the long side here you want to cut right down going past make sure i'm going to get a nice cut because this is all going to be shown going past that little half inch one just to the corner okay so you can see there i've just cut past it to the this square in the middle is your base okay so i've just cut to the corner all right just here of that base and go along to this one here and do the same to just cut down until you get to the the corner there and then you want to cut down that score line that half inch score line so i'm now going to cut down that score line not this one and you basically want to give yourself you're creating that tab so now because we burnished that earlier that will be glued and stick the side of our box together okay so then go down to that other end and cut down again that half inch score line okay so now on that long side i've got these two tabs rotate the whole thing around and do the same so just cut straight down now keep all of these because these are going to be handy when we go to make your wheels and just other maybe embellishments you want to use so depending on what color card stock keep all these bits at the minute so now that's what you should have with these two half inch tabs on each side and then i'm just going to grab my snips and just take off you don't need to really worry about the bottom ones but certainly the top ones there just take off a little wedge not too much but just enough so that it won't overhang like so okay so now we're going to stick it down so with it facing up that's inside this is the outer side i'm just going to run glue on the half inch tab so if you've got double sided tape then go around and obviously pop that on all four making sure that you focus on the arrow to the score line and not this outer side because it's the score line kind of bit that you're going to see so then fold it down and bring up one of your sides you know i can see bits of glue there but it's fine i mean this dries completely clear anyway but you want to make sure that that really does join really nicely on the corner there so whether you like i said you're using red tape double sided tape make sure you do get it quite close to that score line without it going over because you don't want it to be exposed you can see now i've got a really nice corner to my box and i'll just go across to the next one okay and then bring that one up so then just do the same at that end okay so that is the main base for whatever it is that you're going to be making now because i'm using the craft card and because of what it is that i'm making i want to distress this so i'm going to be using the distress oxide tim holts vintage photo and i just really like this with the craft card i've used it on my travellers notebook my mini albums whenever i use the craft card and i want that kind of you know old vintage train look and my Christmas is traditional and i do have some vintage and antique decorations and things like that so i just wanted to kind of keep everything tied together so you can see there that side compared to that side so if you're going to distress you just need to remember to make sure that you do it on on everything that you do right down to any little embellishments of the same card i mean obviously if you're going to be using blacks and reds and whites and you don't necessarily need to distress that but certainly this so i'm just going to carry on and finish this okay so that's that one all distressed now now i've also gone ahead and i've cut these strips here now everything i'm doing you're going to need six of them and six of them yeah okay so these measure three quarters of an inch by five and i've used them so these are the carriages i've already done okay and on underneath the black there can you see this strip so there's a craft card strip a black strip a red strip and a white strip that's all completely optional but i would say do the brown craft strip so whatever card you're using do this extra strip because that strip and then the black inside have made this just as strong as chipboard i mean it's about two mil thick and it is so strong so it's it yeah it's advisable if you want it to um to obviously be very strong in last but also i do think it it does add something to it as well so now this one is the going to be the main front of the train so rather than have it on the front so this is how you will stick it okay on the two carriages so the ones i've just shown you then but on this one i'm going to cut it i'm going to stick it inside because we're going to be having the lid on top of this which is going to be a black lid and it's going to come down over this so it will give it strength anyway but these ones here i'm going to still just reinforce just the inside top there um you may want to put you know bigger kind of sides in there and stuff but i don't think it's necessary but certainly just at the top there so like i said you'll need six pieces of that one and then the shorter one here again is the same width three quarters but it is two and a quarter so it's just the width here and here okay so i'm going to go and do those okay so i've popped all those bits inside there so already that's starting to strengthen up a bit more um like i said you will go around and pop them on the outside of these two and on the inside of this one i'll talk you through all of these measurements later but for the black ones inside they are the same measurement as the outside ones but you will have to just cut off a tiny bit on either the shorter ones or the long ones when you put them in you'll see when you put them in they don't they just a little bit too long you just have to just cut off a little bit so again you'll see that when you do it okay so to make the lid you need a piece of five and three eighths of an inch by eight and one eighth of an inch and you're basically going to score along the short inch and short inch along the short side first you want to score it three quarters of an inch one and a half inches three and seven eighths of an inch and four and five eighths of an inch then rotate it and you're then going to score at three quarters of an inch one and a half inches six and five eighths of an inch and seven and three eighths of an inch okay then you want to go ahead so that's what you should have okay and then you're going to go and burnish all those score lines okay and then we're just going to do some cutting so along the short side you'll have these four squares in each corner okay you're going to cut down both of those score lines to the second score line so there's your first, there's your second and then again just cut down like so and then this side cut down and cut down then the two on the outer side you're going to remove completely okay and again this one here like so then these two here you're going to take the top one so then all you're left with is just these two little squares here all right then you just want to tidy everything up so just go around that one just take a little wedge take a little wedge out of those little square tabs again from that side and also this long one here only the outer pieces you're not touching these inner sections then rotate the whole thing around and repeat exactly the same as what you just did here okay so that's now what you should have next you need to glue it all down so you just want to start with the bottom facing up so this is the inside so we're working on this side and you just want to pop glue on the little tabs okay fold the tab in and bring up the side and stick it together so you're creating that really nice right angle and that corner to the top of your lid okay so just hold that down so it's all nice and stuck okay so that's one corner then again go to this next section and again fold it down tuck it under and just bring everything around like so so now we've got that end so just repeat that again at the other end okay so that is all of the sides stuck together now we need to stick these reinforced pieces down so just kind of bend them out slightly not too far because you don't want to crack anything and just pop some glue just inside like so and then fold it in pop it on its side and then with your bone folder just go in and spread all that glue out and also this will just mean that you get a really nice crisp side there so just do that on all three okay and there is the lid so then grab your box and it should fit on perfectly okay it should be quite snug you should feel like the air come out the sides which is what i always say so that's now done okay next i'm going to add my wheels because i find that by adding these it kind of starts to bring it to life a bit more and start looking like what we want it to be so i have gone ahead and done all the wheels because you really don't need to see me do it because this is very easy but if you've got a circle punch or a few different sizes of circle punches then that's really going to speed things up for you otherwise you'll have to die cut these so i had a punch so for my larger so this is one and a half so you want to cut out 24 now you don't have to you could half that if you're not fussed about it being black on the inside because this is the side that's going to be stuck down but i just thought it just finished it nicely plus it gave it more strength because in between this i then went and cut 12 of the same size circle with my craft card so right in the middle here is a sheet of craft card so this brown here because that's really strong so now i mean that is it's solid and it just means that these really do stand out well so if you're going to put some stuff in there that's maybe a bit heavier that is not going to you know they're not going to bow so that's what i've done there okay so work out what you want to do decide on what cardstock you want to use and stuff and then you'll know then on the inside i done my red circle is one inch so if you've got a one inch punch then you just want to go ahead and just punch out 12 and then on the i had this other die and i just thought it looked like you know a hubcap kind of a look and i just cut them out in white and then on top of that i've got these stamping up metal embellishments and i just saw that little bit of hardware just really kind of finished off the wheel so that's what i've done okay so see what you want to do but basically then when you go to stick them down it's entirely up to you where you want them i found though by having a little bit of the edges like if i just show you here that way so rather than having them like that i just thought it looked more like a kid's kind of pulley kind of little truck um what's it called um i don't know just it didn't look right but when you bring them in like that i thought it started to look more like a a train effect you can have a little bit further like that but can you see how different you can get it to look if you wanted to you could add more you could put three that's entirely up to you and then have a little black strip underneath as well there's lots of ways to adapt this but i just wanted to keep it quite simple because i want it to match obviously those other things i have so when you go to stick them down i know that i'm i'm keeping them the same as how i've stuck the rest down but once you've stuck one down they then all need to be the same as that one so i've just put glue on half then turn it over and then i'm just going to tack it there for a second so i can remember how far i brought it in yeah five five eighths of an inch yeah so it's come in the right distance because i want them to all look the same so i've got five eighths of an inch overhanging here so just pop your ruler on top you want to do that on every wheel just put your ruler on top and make sure they're all the same and then it comes in by five eighths so it's coming in by five eighths of an inch here and it's got five eighths of an inch hanging down that's what i've done you might have you know half an inch or three quarters of an inch it's entirely up to you but now when you've stuck that one down when you go to do your next one you've got to do it exactly the same because otherwise when it stands up it's going to be wonky so again i just need to make sure that i'm coming in here by five eighths and then underneath perfect okay so now when i stand that up they're both exactly the same okay so go and see what you've got whole punch you know dies whatever and like i said layer them up mine i've got three layers that craft card in the middle and i did find that that really because initially i just done the black and one certainly isn't enough you do need to layer them up a bit so have a play around and see what works best for you but that is how i've done mine okay so that is now all my rules done and that stands up perfectly it's not like rocking around or anything they all sit completely flush so now i've got my lid on now when you look at it it's just starting to come together a little bit more so next we want to make a square to go on top so for this piece here this is nine and a quarter by six and three quarters now i'm not this is going to be a solid cube i'm going to seal all of the sides if you want to have it as an open box and store more things in it you can by all means however i'm not because i've already got all the space in there plus the two other carriages i don't have a need for for this as well so along the longest side along that nine and a quarter you want to score at two and a quarter four and a half and six and three quarters and then nine then rotate your card stock and you're going to score at two and a quarter and four and a half okay then burnish all of those score lines okay and then with your tab here look around that way you want to take out the two outer sides to it so i'm going to remove that piece and then on that piece okay and then all of the outer so you've now got one two three four one two three four all of those ones you want to cut down okay like so and then you want to take kind of wedges off of all but one on each side so for example i'm just going to because you don't you're going to be sticking this all down it will become a very strong cube which again is what i want for it to last so i'm going to do that one and then these two i'm going to leave the middle one as the last one that i will stick down that way you will have a nice perfect square side and all these other pieces will not overhang in any way you won't have any bits kind of sticking out because it doesn't matter how they don't have to be the same but you want something like that so that one i've kept perfect these ones have all taken a wedge out so just do that along that other side okay so that's now what i've got so these two have stayed the square and these have all got wedges okay so next flip it over fold in your tab and you want to add glue to that and then fold that whole piece in half and fold it over that tab because it should all perfectly line up okay so now we've got this and then you basically at each end you want to fold in all of the ones that we took your wedge out of and then that last one will fold perfectly over giving you a really nice square finish okay now i'm not going to glue all of them either i'm just going to glue the last one but make sure you glue these side bits here as well so see there because that's where the other bits underneath are kind of showing through but it doesn't really i mean you can glue let's just put a little bit there just to keep that down there we go but because nothing's going in this i'm not worried about having it all and i'll just flip it over just use my bone folder there okay and then do the same with the other end so i'm going to fold those two in just splodge i'll put one there just a good measure there go and then all on that and then stick that one down okay so that now is going to sit on top here it doesn't look like much at the minute but once we've got our kind of um what's it called the chimney it's not a chimney what's that bit called anyway that bit there and we're going to have another square on top and i'm also going to now put these windows so i'm going to have this one and i've got more to add to this as well but i've done four to go on each side of this large square these ones here measure one and a half okay so again if you've got a punch that's all i used and just find what bit of your kind of cube looks the nicest so i'm going to go for that one there so i know i want to add them on these four sides so i'm going to put a cross on the bottom because you're not going to see that that's what we're going to add our glue to and a little cross in the middle there on the top one because that's going to have another box stuck on top just so i remember now i just need to stick these on all four of my sides okay so that's now done there and then again that's going to go like this but we don't stick nothing down yet we're just going to make all the pieces all right okay so now i just wanted to create like some curtains and a window so i've just done this little thing here and when it's on top look i think it looks really cute and obviously we've got loads more to add to it still but to do that you just need to die cut the same size that you've cut your white square and do that in red so you'll do four of these and then just free hand i've just come in at the bottom and i'm just going to curve it around like so and then come in from the top a bit further out because that's like the main drape and just kind of join up like so i don't want to pull it there we go and then with that one just flip it over and pop it on the other side of your square and just trace around it so that way you don't have to worry about you know getting them the same we're worrying about getting them in the same place and then just cut that one out and then just use that again to trace on your next red square and that way you'll get them all consistently the same so that's those two and then get my square here and those two are going to stick like so well that's the top that's the larger it's up to you how you want to do this like that and then just to do my little frame i've just got some green card here and just literally just cut whatever you want and again you'll use any colors that you're using for your theme obviously this is mine it's matching everything else and then just you can take them off but take a strip and just lie it across and then just with my pencil i can then snip that piece and just line it up with that piece this is probably the fiddliest part of this whole make so now i'm going to stick these down first okay and then i could probably have gone a little bit smaller maybe because it's taken up most of the window but hey i'm not too worried and then just put a very thin strip of glue on the green ones and stick them across like so yeah i did i went a bit wide with that one that one's better see these ones you can see more of the windows so i'll just move one of them around but you may personalize this you may have like somebody's age or letters or their name or you may not you may actually die cut and put acetate in there and make proper windows like there are so many options but now that one is going to go there i love this it's coming together so nicely okay so it's now the next day i just put it to one side and yeah just kind of just have a think about it and then i can go back to it again because it was you know it's taking a lot of time to get this where i want it so i'm going to go through now the hinges so to connect our little trains and carriages all together and also i've got this piece here which is going to be the decoration on the top here so i've made this just worked out a way to have this little kind of curved top which i think looks nice and then i'm going to make another one this is just a prototype you can see it's not even finished properly but i've made this really cute little what's it called chimney i was stuck with it last time i still don't know what it is and that's going to go here and then i've just got this warding from stuffing from a cushion and it just looks like steam and i just sort of looked quite cute so i'm going to show you how to make that as well so first of all for this piece here you just want to piece with the craft card which is what i've been using and this piece measures five and a half by two and a quarter it's the width of the square so whatever square you've done here you want it to be the width of that and then basically i've just scored let me just grab my scoreboard here and you just want to score at so along the five and a half inch side you want to score it two and three quarters and at five okay and then you can see here i've already gone into stress at all and then you just want to take little wedges off of your tab here and then you can see all the corners i've just stressed everything and what we're going to do is this side here you're going to fold in and you're going to stick that over keeping it arched so you just want to join it and it wouldn't actually fall into that arch shape so just grab my wet glue pop that over like so and just hold that in place make sure this is nice and neat because i'm actually going to have this bit on the the side of the train that's facing me because although it is the join and usually you have your drawings facing away if you have this one facing away because you can see through this you'll see the join so you can see it there whereas if you have it facing you not only is it nice and neat but it also it's completely flush and there's nothing you know no drawings or anything that people would see so again it's entirely up to you might want to do it another way but i think that's works well okay and then you're just going to put glue all on the base here okay i'm just taking my lid here and like i said i'm sticking this side that's joined facing me and it will sit perfectly over that square if you just get your bone folder or a ruler or something and just pop it underneath there and just make sure that you get it all stuck down and all the glue and everything is all uh spread out no you have it cute isn't it see if i put that on there now it's starting to come together and look like a little cute little train so this is the way i'm doing it i'm not this is not to say that there are not other ways there are so many ways but i just thought this was quite a nice way okay so what i've got here is the same kind of sandwich as i've done for the wheels so i've got piece of black card stock and then i've got craft card now you can do black again underneath if you want but i've just got the two layers and i've basically gone and just die cut the small oval die from my it's the smallest one in my nest of oval stitched it doesn't need it doesn't matter if it's not stitched frameless and this one measures um one and a half one and a half by one okay now if you don't have an oval find something that is of that similar size and shape and just draw around it um you can use a circle but the only problem with the circle is they will be even closer together if that makes sense so the ovals obviously are longer so it means your carriages have got more kind of room to move so um you may if you don't even have an oval then you can just have two of these that i'm gonna well actually need more of all of these you'll need you'll need two of them for this two carriages on the train for this piece next i'm going to tell you you'll need one two three four pieces but if you don't have the ovals then you'll need six pieces because you could use this in place of the oval there on top if i just bring it up you can see how i've done it underneath is these pieces here on top is the oval but there is no reason why you can't have that on top as well the oval just gave it a nicer finish i thought okay with this piece here what you need to do i'm just going to turn this on its side just so i can get my measurements so that was uh three quarters yeah and it was one and a one and a half so your like i said you'll need one two three four pieces of three quarters of an inch by one and a half okay and i like i said i've used the black and the craft card and just sandwich that together then on the back side if you just mark with your pencil at three quarters of an inch just on each side there so you can just see i've just come in here three quarters of an inch that side is what you want to stick your blue one actually i want to stick it on the black because that's the side you're seeing so just flip it over there i almost forgot before you stick that piece down you want another piece which is three quarters of an inch by one and a quarter and you'll need one two three four of this this is just the normal card on its own and all i've done take that one off is just stuck it on the side you see here it's stuck up and it was just purely for for decorative reasons there's no actual you know reason for it but i just thought it it just gave it a little bit something and it just yeah yeah i just done it so i'm just going to stick it in the middle about half an inch doesn't really matter too much just stick that side down first and then just pop some glue underneath and then just fold it around and stick that down okay then with that piece i'm just sticking it right over the top because it's the same width well just about obviously cut that a bit short but you can just see now i just thought it just made that whole piece look a little bit more finished okay so once that's there and all stuck down what you want to do on each one is i just took wedges off of them like so so i just come in about a quarter of an inch in the top corner and just cut right down you can see there i need my little snippy snips get right into the even these ones a bit better these ones are like a carbon steel these ones are really good there we go got it so you can just see there the shape i've now made and the reason i've done that is so that when this moves from left to right you never see the piece underneath okay then i'm just going to grab my little mat here and my pokey tool and i'm just holding it up there i've just lifted the mat up under my hand and just put a little hole this will just help your brads go through pull that out you can just see now just see the little hole i've just put through there and then you want to do that again on this piece here so come in about a quarter of an inch on that side and again on that side so you can just see again there there's my two holes and then i've got these little white brads which again i've had lying around for ages but it all worked really well for this tiny little ones and just thread each one through split them underneath and you can see now that moves and you don't see the piece underneath so that's that one and i need to put my hole through this one here again coming down about about a quarter of an inch now i mean this is what i mean you could have loads of carriages you could have as many as you want so once you you know you've done one it's uh yeah it's endless there we go so now i've got my choo choo i love it and that one's going to go on the front again you can't really see look how cool that it's looking can't wait to put this out so just sit that all there and it is it should all be level it should all be yeah sitting nicely okay i'm going to go on to the chimney in a moment so that's those pieces then these bits here are all from thompson's craft supplies and it is the cozy and bright by pebble's ink and they're all these really lovely tags and i've got another pack as well i'll send all the links and i'll send all links i'll have all the links in my blog they've just got really really cool phrases and all kinds of tags and bits and pieces there and i've pulled out these ones here because i actually think they're going to work the colors are perfect and this i was thinking i don't know yet but i might have on the very front of my train like kind of curved like that i also like the thought of having if i turn it on its side having this here so it says candy cane wishes and mistletoe kisses and then i'll have all candy canes in these carriages so that's my other thought i've got my bells which i'm going to stick underneath my bows i've got another bow here which i'm thinking i'm going to have up kind of maybe at the window or something like that and then i've got these that will say believe so i don't know whether to have them on there so that's what i've done i won't be putting these bits all on in the tutorial i will just have all that in the pictures so you'll be able to see what i've done because i just think that's it's easy that way you don't need to see all of that but now we will do the chimney okay so to make the little chimney you need a piece of black cardstock which is three and a half by one and three quarters along the three and a half inch side you just want to score three and a quarter you just create a little quarter inch tab there and then rotate it so that quarter inch tabs at the top and you want to score it one and a quarter and that will give us this half inch tab at the bottom which is what we're going to cut and yeah that will stick it all together then to decorate so i've got this piece which i'm going to have along the top and then a thinner piece that i'm having along the bottom so the width is the same so they're both three and a half to be fair that you we're going to end up trimming it but i always like to keep it a bit longer and then trim it once it's all stuck but it will end up joining perfectly so it should be three and a quarter okay so you'll see what i mean when we put it together but i do like to have that little extra just in case something goes wrong and then the the thicker one is three eighths of an inch and this little thin one is it's literally just under a quarter of an inch it's like in between but it can be anything you want i just i didn't actually measure it i just cut a thin strip with my trimmer okay so that's what we need um now you don't really need to burnish this score line here along the long side it was more like a guide because what you're going to do is with your bone folder or anything just kind of curl your cardstock and then what we're going to be doing is sticking it and you want to just stick it up to so you can see where the score line is there we're just going to stick that card over to that score line so it's purely just a guide you don't need to burnish it the one on the bottom you do okay so just burnished it like so and then we're going to be cutting some like tiny little triangles so what you want to do is take out the very end like rectangle like so all right and then all the way along here so first of all just cut that way so take a wedge and then you want to go from the the corner up against the score line so you've created this triangle see what i've done there and then go along again and then they don't have to be exact mine are about yeah about a quarter of an inch wide each one and don't worry if it's not a sharp triangle it doesn't but basically by doing this will mean that we can when we stick it all together we've got a base to stick it down with rather than just having a tube that has no ends by having this little bit like this we can stick it down onto the top of our train so can you see there what i'm creating that so it's just like loads of teeth and i'm not yeah just it doesn't matter if they're not exact but that's what you want to roughly do you're basically just removing bulk and just pull those ones off so that is what i've got so now when we go around we get this bit glued so i'm just going to pop some glue along that tab and it doesn't matter if you go over you might want a thicker chimney it's entirely up to you so just lining it up pop my finger in both ends there and just stick that all down again this and the like little green strips that were on the windows are probably the most fiddliest part now you could if you wanted to because i did do this first is have little squares here but it would need to be smaller and just have a small square than the smaller square on top you could use a little um a lady she made one with hers was all out of like toilet tubes and things like that and she used little wooden spools and she had a she painted one black and just had a very dinky little black spool at the front there and i saw that on pinterest so you know there are other ways to do it but now so they're all sticking out like so but if you just push them all in you get a really nice obviously um you know we've got our nice little tube there but also we've got all that now to put glue on and stick it down now don't worry if you cut up maybe past that score line because that's why then i've made obviously that one's going on the top but certainly this thinner one it will cover any maybe little markings that you've got around the bottom there because that's going to be stuck over the top so with both of these pieces you just want to just again kind of break up the fibres this craft card you know what i'm like with it is so forgiving i just love it and again with that one there and i before i forget i need to distress those as well so i'm just going to grab the same distressed ink there and i'll grab my mat i've been really good this time and made sure i've been using my mat so i've not been getting it on my other mat which then takes ages to clean because i've got so many like cut marks in it everything kind of gets um embedded into it now eventually i'm going to have to replace it again but um i have to bleach it who bleaches their craft mat me so yeah i am a messy crafter i just bleached my mat so that's my little uh that's my secret that i've given it away you always see it all looking nice and clean it's not always like that okay so that's those done i've probably finished with that now need to get a re yeah refill for that one okay so next i'm going to start with the one on the top um and it's entirely up to you whether you want to add the glue to i'm going to add the glue to this and just start from my join and just run in fact i'm going to open it back up again because then i can actually hold hold it from this end which is so much easier like so and then again start from the back with the join stick it down if you've got any mini little pegs they'll be handy now because you can just peg down it actually says let's grab one because i've got them right here look at these these are dinky so i'm going to pop that one on the end there we go and then i can just work my way around like so i'm going to peg the other end even i've not glued it yet because i just want it to all sit there in place while it all sets and dries okay so i'm going to leave that one there for the minute and go straight on to the bottom one here again i've got my little peg start from the back okay now i can take the top one off because i know that that's set and then that little bit there i'm just going to go in with my snips and i can just just line it up there perfect you see now so it's joined perfectly with that one there just keep that on there for a bit longer okay so before i just to stick all that down i've just got a little i think this is a one inch circle punch if you haven't got one of these just use your dies um it is optional yeah one inch but i think if i remember it fitted just over the bottom here so if i take that bottom one off that they can both come off now but look how cute that looks and fold all of these in like so okay and then you can get in that side obviously with your finger you just want to go around and just add glue doesn't matter what it looks like inside because we're going to be adding that wadding onto it sealed now the reason i'm sticking this on first is because i just think it it just again it just gives it that bit more strength but also it then gives it a nicer surface to stick it then onto the actual train okay how cute is that and you can see the bottom i still got a bit of blue to dry but now i've just got a much nicer surface to stick it down and then that's just that you can see how much just a tiny bit i'm not even going to glue it i mean yeah that's it's not going to go anywhere obviously if you've got kids or any cats and animals and things that may well then i would suggest that you want to put that you know tuck it in place but that's as easy as it is so now i'm going to pop some more glue on this base and then just get it stuck down so i'm going to have it just not really at the front but just set back about half an inch and just push my finger down there if that i can probably stick it to a bit of the glue on the top and then just pull it up much now i've lost it inside there we go cute cute cute cute because i've stuck it all together now i have to keep putting it on its side so you can see what it looks like but i just think that looks so cute i love this so much i'm so glad that i've persevered and and done this so yeah that is pretty much the tutorial done i think because that is going to go i do i think that looks really good then the colors match perfectly it's got the three colors that i've been using so i just think that's but then i don't know if that's too much with that sign on the front as well we shall see all will be shown in my pictures i'm just going to stick those with some hot glue the little bells there underneath the bows in fact if i stick it like that there we go you can see it across the screen so we're going to have these little bells like so i think that might be a bit too much i don't know it does look so you see it and it does look cute yeah i don't know this is probably now going to take me days to decide this because i have to be a hundred percent sure but i think i'm sure about this one going here um yeah that's it guys i hope you've enjoyed it if you see anything extra it will be very very simple stuff i might put some lights on the front and i'll be die cutting some miri card with my that was another idea i had just with my hole punch um i'll probably die cut a black circle a white circle and then a smaller one with this and have them as my lights on the very front so if you google cartoon trains it will give you heaps of ideas in terms of putting it together so um but yeah so i hope you've enjoyed this tutorial i've absolutely loved this and i'm so yeah so happy with this and the nice thing is i can add more carriages to it if i want to so yeah it's something that you can keep adding to if you want this is great to do with your children with your grandchildren you know any kind of school projects i think it's a really lovely nice little project so i do hope you do it please share anything like this over on mixed up crafters because you know i love to see them and yeah i'll be back again soon with another tutorial thanks for watching
