This is what I have created with my MiC goodies!
This super fun Santa Sleigh 3-D Chipboard Kit! These chipboard kits are so easy and fun to put together! And they are really strong too! I could play with one of these kits everyday!!
I filled the sleigh with a burlap bag that I made that was filled with some scented Christmas Potpourri, greenery, Candy Canes and of course, Santa. This makes a great decoration or even a table centerpiece. It would even make a great gift for someone. You could place some money or a gift card inside of the sleigh! I also used some beautiful Chipboard 6-Point Snowflakes from the MiC Store too.
The reindeer were also so easy to put together. Before I assembled them, I simply rubbed some different colors of brown, cream and white ink pads over them to give them color. I then added the pom-pom trim and little bits of holly and berries to them.
I adhered the entire thing onto a long piece of cardboard with a hot glue gun, so that it is easier to move around. I then added lots of snow (batting) and tons of glitter!
Don't forget to leave a comment below before December 31st and stop by the Make it Crafty Store blog to 'open the door' to 24 other inspirational projects!
