So, I am currently absorbed in making decorations for Christmas.
At work, I am in charge of decorating one of the large meeting rooms that we have. When I pulled out the decorations designated for the room, I was a little let down. It was meager to say the least.
I decided to make my own decorations.
My supplies included vintage paper, a round punch and a scalloped punch, some silver glitter paper from Michaels, stamps and red metallic garland from Superstore.
I started by punching some circles from the edges of the vintage paper ensuring that I did not get any words. Following that, I stamped my letters (stamps and ink from Stampin' Up) in red ink in the circle to spell MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Next, I punched scalloped circles from the glitter paper and adhered the letter circles in the center of the glitter paper.
After trimming strips of vintage paper to look like mini banners, I adhered the letters onto the mini banners.
Finally, I used my mini stapler from Tim Holtz to attach the banners to the red metallic garland.
It makes me smile to think that this lovely garland will greet me at work each day for the next month.
