12 Days of Christmas – Day 1
Nothing like making a decision last minute. But I do hope that my decision is a fun one for you. I have never done a 12 days of Christmas and I thought – why not this year! So here we are with Day 1 of my 12 days of Christmas.
I thought that today we would start with something a little sweet!
These fun wrappers are a quick and easy way to spread a bit of holiday cheer. Measurements for this project are pretty simple too! Take a piece of colored cardstock or even a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and cut it to the length of the candy bar. Then wrap it around the candy bar for form a “belly band”. Make sure that you leave just enough room for the band to slide on and off.
For this belly band, I cut a mat that was about a 1/4″ smaller than the band front. I created my own DSP by stamping images from the Joy of Noel stamp set and Christmas Classics stamp set. I also colored a few images in just to add some interest. I die cut a banner from the Christmas Classics dies and stamped the sentiment onto it. Of course you need some bling – so I added a bit or ribbon and a few gems.
Don’t forget that this isn’t just a Christmas project! You can do these little treats for birthdays, Easter, Halloween, or to send a bit of cheer. I’d love to see what you come up with for your own sweet treats. Feel free to share your ideas on my Facebook page.
