DIY Chipboard Llama Desk Buddy with Cricut Maker

I don’t have any pets. I had a dog once. Correction, one day (before my parents got divorced) my dad came home with a stray dog that he let roam around our backyard, before my mom put the kabbash on that foolishness. If I had to choose a pet, I’d definitely go with something low mess, which is basically impossible given the whole poop thing. I already have a three year old in my house who loves to talk about “caca” all the time. That’s enough poop in my life.

Thankfully, I’m only one DIY project away from having a mess free, poop free pet, in the form of this adorable DIY chipboard llama desk buddy. He hangs out on your desk. Gives you encouragement. No snacks required. No poop. Everybody’s happy. The inspiration for this project came from my latest class on CreativeBug where I teach you how to create beautiful dimensional word art using just a few basic supplies! Hop over to CreativeBug to learn more and sign up for your FREE one month membership!

STEP ONE:

Use a glue stick or school glue to adhere the layers of chipboard together. Keep them as even as you can so the stacked layers appear as one piece when you’re finished.

    For frogjumpgame, I would first establish whether it is simply a gaming or information website or whether it connects users to an actual gambling service. I’d check who operates the domain, what services are offered, whether the terms are clearly presented and whether age or eligibility restrictions apply. If any external platforms are mentioned, I’d evaluate their regulatory position independently instead of assuming that a reference on the website confirms anything. After understanding those basics, I’d look at the quality of the content, website usability and clarity of the information provided.
