Christmas Every Monday

Today's projects start with a box made for gift cards.  This is a match box (from Dollar Tree).  This is the large one - if you are into tiny, tiny, you can get the package of little ones.

I covered the box with brown scrapbook paper and added any embellishments that I had on hand.  The candy canes are from Michaels.  Just decorate it as much or as little as you want.

I used craft thick glue combined with the runner glue found in the scrapbook section of any store.

On the inside of the box, add a background paper and a gingerbread man made out of brown paper.  Add white squiggles with acrylic paint.

Slide the bottom back into the box and add a gift card.  This is so much cuter than an envelope.

This ornament is made from a large red ornament from Dollar Tree.  

First add a white band from the top around to the other side.  Then add the black felt belt.

I used some gold tinsel that I already had for the belt buckle.  Add three white buttons and a sprig of holly with berries at the top.  These would make really cute gifts for teachers.

Lastly this week is a bird cut out of heavy musical note scrapbook paper.  I free handed the bird and cut out both pieces at one time.  When you glue them together, add a hanger of twine.  Then add a small doily folded in half.

Enjoy!
