Jingle All the Way!

Wow 2 post in one day?! :) I made this quick little project earlier in the week and thought I'd share.

I picked up this cute little Reindeer shape a couple of months ago from Say It With Letters. Then several weeks ago I got an email from Paper Crafts Magazine about donating for their tree in the Festival of Trees and since their theme color scheme was red, green and brown I thought this would be the perfect project!

I didn't have a lot of time but these fun shapes are all ready to go so the project was pretty quick! I first painted it a nice dark brown, added a layer or crack medium and then a little lighter brown. I am totally addicted to crackle finish! :) I traced the antlers on some tan felt and glued them on along with a little red felt nose i just cut our freehand. For the jingle bell collar, I cut a strip of brown felt and sewed on these tiny red & green bells that were actually from my girls hair accessory box. I used a Cuttlebug alphabet to spell out Jingle with chipboard and made them nice and glittery.

I think he'll make a great addition to somebody's holiday decorations! Be sure to check out all the other great holiday shapes and kits that are available at SIWL!!
