Christy's Secret Santa

My daughter Christy is participating in Secret Santa at her office this week. I took a few pictures of the creations that I made to put her goodies in. I ran across the neatest blog from which the ideas for these first two creations came from. It is Dandelion Designs but I warn you!!! You will have so much fun there you will get LOST for hours!!!

Inside Out Box


Little Slide Box




This next creation came from a similar place -Mel Stampz - this blog comes with the same warning as above.

Cute Box Alert!




Click HERE for the actual website and link for a tutorial on this purse. It is a link that I got from Mel Stampz under "Purses".

Hanging Star Tutorial

This is a step by step tutorial for the Hanging Star Printable which is the next post.

Little surprise at the end!!!

1. Cut out all pieces.



2. Fold or score and fold where indicated by red lines. If printed on card stock you may need
to score to get sharp folds.


3. Glue all five pieces of the star together by gluing the tab to the side of the piece that you would
like to have next to it.



4. Punch the dangling embellishments on the top and bottom. Punch the star. Refer to
completed picture for placement of punch.


5. Finish your star by adding a hanger across the top and dangle your charms from the bottom.
Your completed star can be embellished and finished many ways! You could use wire, ribbon,
- whatever!! In these examples, I used wire garland, raffia, and added some ribbon.


If you would like to make your own hanging star, you can download the template HERE.

(OK - that was the surprise! - the template)

Please share with me a picture of what you made and I will post it!!!

It would be so much fun to see what you can come up with!!
