So, once again, I'm following Kathy's USTREAM video - this time on her Advent Calendar project. It's a great project to make and give to the grandkids for their Christmas countdown. I'll have to make two of them so I thought I'd start now and maybe finish both before December 2011!
I've made all the boxes, adhered all the boxes together, added the centre image, added ribbon, lace & beads on the sides & edges, and covered & attached the backboard.
All that's left to do is embellish the centrepiece and add the numbers. Then attach a hanger.
OK, I'm sooooo excited! I've just ordered a new scrapping item which will help me finish this project - I'll leave you hanging until I receive it on Saturday :)

I used a green ribbon to cover the sides, then added a gold lacy larger
ribbon over the top of the green ribbon
This is the project as it stands (without inside embelolishments
and numbers on each of the boxes
wow that looks very similar to the kaiser craft box you could buy at Christmas but you made it all yourself it looks really lovely, anything Christmas gets me in for sure

ReplyDeleteThey are so easy to make too! And you can dress it up just how you want it. Having said that, I'm procrastinating with the embellishing of them at the moment - I know what I want to do but I haven't got the right products and materials to do it just yet. Oh well, there's still time to get them done before 1 December LOL
