Christmas Ferris wheel

When taking out my Christmas decorations the other day, I came across this Ferris wheel I made last year.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was still in a good condition and that it still stood up straight!  Whoop, whoop!  Who said paper isn't durable right?

The Ferris Wheel file is from the Summer Street Carnival kit over at SVGCuts.  It took me quite a while to assemble but with Mary's awesome instructions, it was really easy to do.

The cute Rudolph is from the Christmas Morning SVG collection (there are so many fun elements in this collection - a definite "must have").  All he needed was a bit of glossy accents on his nose a little bell around his neck.  I just adore this little guy...

I also added a few elements from the paper collection (sorry but I can't remember where it was from to give credit - although I'm pretty sure it was from Bo Bunny), some rhinestones for bling and a red silk ribbon as final decorations.

For the middle, I used a star ornament from the Christmas Ornaments kit and then added a red vintage button to the centre with some red string.  I also added some of the holly borders from the Clara's Christmas Strips collection and used glossy accents to make the berries shine. 

This was such a fun project and it's definitely going up again this year as part of the standard decorations for our home.

Christmas Glass Ornaments

I finally decorated the glass ornaments I bought last year!  Yippee! 

It was my first time working with vinyl too!  The glitter was a lot of fun but I wanted to try something else too.  I filled the next one with fake snow and mixed in a bit of twine with the ribbon for a different look.  I personalised for my hubby. 

Boy this is fun... I think I might have to make a whole bunch more!  The possibilities with these are endless!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

   



Rosette Christmas Tree

Here's a miniature Christmas tree I made for my desk at work. 

I used one of the files from the Christmas Ornament SVGCuts kit along with the rosette file from the Made in the USA kit and cut them out in different sizes.  I assembled all the rosettes first (but at an angle and not flat like you usually would when making a rosette) before I poked the dowel stick through them.  I glued each layer in place with a hot glue gun.

To make the star on top of the tree, I cut six stars from the Stars and Stripes kit, folded them in half and glued them together.  The base of the tree is made from the drum file in the Stanta's Visit kit with a piece of florist foam in it to hold the tree up.

I can't wait until I can put this one up in my office.  It's so cute...
