25 Days of Gift Wrap: Day 1


My creative challenge this Christmas is to explore gift wrapping and post one of my own creations each day. I will tell you that I'm totally freaked out to commit to something like this! I love being consistently inconsistent--it's my artsy thing, you know. But this is a good kind of challenge and the double bonus is that all my gift wrapping will be completed before December 24th. *high fives to myself* (which really just looks like a clap, if you think about it. Don't think about it too much or you'll start giggling like I'm doing right now.)

The first installment showcases a gift topper created from layered felt circles, sewn together with a vintage sequin at the top. I used my cream wrapping paper, and a silverish sheer ribbon. The felt circles (and other shapes) are pretty inexpensive and available from vendors on etsy such as this one. You can find similar sequins from this company...and I tell you, they are fun to have around!

  6. ӏ'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's both еqually educativе and
    engаging, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I found this during
    my search foг something regarԁіng this.

    would cost a prеttу ρennу? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
