Ne, ni otrok star osemnajst. Otrok ima sedemnajst sošolcev in razredničarko. In "v šolo se ne nosi torte". No, letos se jo bo neslo. Osemnajst kosov.
/ No, eighteen is not the child's age. The child has seventeen classmates and a teacher. And "we don't bring a cake to school". Well, this year we do. Eighteen pieces.
Nena, hvala za idejo! / Nena, thanks for the idea!
Zrisano (iz mojih zaprašenih spominov sem potegnila toliko geometrije, da sem si narisala, kakšen mora biti en kos, da jih bo šlo osemnajst v krog, in kako se ga spremeni v uporabno škatlo).
/ Designed (I pulled just the right amount of geometry from my dusty memories to draw what one piece should be like if I need eighteen of them, and how to turn it to a useful box).
Izrezano in prepognjeno.
/ Cut and folded.
Poštempljano. Ker se mi je zdel bel gladek bisernat karton dobra izbira, sem pri štempljanju ostala pri črnem StazOnu - toliko da so na vsaki škatlici tri miške, nekaj rožic in obdarovalkino ime.
/ Stamped. The smooth white pearly cardboard seemed a good choice, so I didn't go beyond black StazOn when stamping the images - I just gave each box three little mice, a few flowers and the birthday girl's name.
Okrašeno.
/ Embellished.
Zlepljeno.
/ Glued together.
Osemnajstkrat.
/ Eighteen times.
Navdušenje v očkah je naboljše in največje plačilo...
/ The excitement in little eyes is the best and the greatest pay...
