DIY Project Sharing | Cute Dino Layered

My Adorable Creation: Layered Baby Dinosaur!

Hello everyone! I want to show you one of my cutest and most special designs: this gorgeous three-dimensional baby dinosaur. I fell in love with it from the moment I first conceived it!

My goal in creating it was to capture the sweetness of a baby dinosaur, something not so common. Therefore, I designed it with a facial expression that radiates pure innocence: big, expressive eyes, rosy cheeks, and a barely-there mouth. The overall shape is round and friendly, with a sturdy body that sits playfully, and a gently curving tail.

To bring it to life, I used several sheets of high-quality cardstock to achieve that depth and relief effect I love so much in my projects. The colors I chose are soft and comforting:

  • The base and main layers are made of a very soft aqua or mint cardstock, which gives it a touch of freshness and tenderness.
  • For the internal details, such as the back pads, I used a light pink or pastel cardstock, which contrasts beautifully with the green and highlights the cheeks.
  • For the skin dots and internal details, I used a slightly darker cardstock to add a bit of contrast and visual texture.

I love how each carefully cut layer fits together to build this charming volume. It’s as if the dinosaur comes to life when each piece is put together.

What do I use this cutie for?

For me, this piece is ideal for decorating baby or children’s rooms with a friendly dinosaur or fantasy theme. I also use it as:

Party decoration: It’s a perfect decoration for candy tables at children’s birthday parties or baby showers.

  • Personalized Gift: It can be a lovely gift for expectant parents or for a little one’s birthday.
  • Decorative Item: Simply as a charming display on a shelf or as part of a table centerpiece.

I hope you enjoy looking at this dinosaur as much as I enjoyed creating it. It’s a piece that always brings a smile!
