Assembling the Quietfire Love Train

What an adorable addition to your Valentine's Day decorations!  Get the file at the Silhouette Design Store (It's Silhouette ID 287386). Then the fun begins!  Instead of using my colours, go ahead and brighten it up with patterned papers if you wish.

Assembling the train cars:
Fold up all perforated score lines.  Assemble train car boxes with adhesive. Also assemble the 5^th box in this step and set aside - it’s for the locomotive. Add decorative strips along the top edges.  Add wheels to the base by lining up the bar between the wheels with the base of the box.  Repeat for all train cars.

Fold letters along the perforated score lines then up and adhere together at the top of the letter.  Attach one letter in each of the train cars.

Assembling the Locomotive:
Fold the locomotive cab along the perforated score lines.  Attach to the previously assembled box by lining up the bottom of the cab with the bottom of the box.  Attach the locomotive wheels with the bar between the wheels lined up with the bottom of the box.  Add the decorative elements as shown.

 

I've included four rectangles with score lines which can be folded into a U and used to attach the locomotive to the L car and attach the cars to each other if desired.

Fill with candies and enjoy your Love Train!

Happy creating, Suzanne
