Santa's Wishes

Good Morning Crafters
 
Friday again and not long now until Christmas
 
Today we have a great idea for advent by our Gill.
 
This is a lovely little idea to make for your little ones (and big ones!) to put their present wishes in on the run up to Christmas
 
Products used available on Personal Impressions Website, check out the home page for a stockist near you using the Stockist Locator.
 
Products used
Square Tissue Box
Kaiser Craft – Holly Jolly Collectibles, paper pack and sticker sheet
 
Step 1
Cover the box and the lid in papers of your choice using extra strong double sided sticky tape.
 
 
Step 2

Once the box is covered it is ready to decorate.
 
 
 
Step 3
 
Using one of the collectibles tags as a template make more tags, mat and layer on to coordinating card stock, add a little word embellishment to each and finally some ribbon. Ensure there is enough room on the tag to write your wish.
 
 
Step 4
 
Add a copyright free Santa image to the back holding a little sign

 
Step 5
 
All done, hope you will try this as well. 

When the little ones open an advent window they could also write a wish each day, it doesn't have to be a present.
 
Isn't this a brilliant idea? Please share with us if you do make one too.
 
Thank you for visiting today!
