Winter Fun with Tracy

Tracy here from The Idea Closet and I am so excited to share my newest creation with you.

Today I am celebrating the cold and snow that is happening outside my window.

To create my project I used two different files from SVG Attic

Winter Friends Canisters

and Winter Wishes

(one of my favorites that I have used many times)

The Canister was easy to do. Jodi gives perfect instructions here, All I had to do was cut it out and assemble.  

I wanted it to be a little different so I used purple and blue papers instead of your typical black.

I also added two snowflakes to the hat with foam pop dots and left the heart off.  

This was an fun project and it went together really quickly.

I am going to have to make all of the canisters now because I loved how cute it turned out.

The second project took a little more time but still wasn't difficult.

First I created the wreath stand.  

*Make sure you fill the bottom with something heavy before you close it all up. I used dried black beans.  The wreath is a little heavy and the stand tipped over before I put the beans in it. 

To make the wreath,  use two circles to create a base.

Next, make a bunch of copies of the snowflake from the canister set.  

Create 3 different sizes and then cut them from white, grey, light and dark blue and purple card stock.

Glue the largest snowflakes to the bottom of the wreath.

Add layers of more snowflakes using Foam Pop Dots to fill in the wreath until you get the desired affect you are looking for.

For the finishing touch, lightly spray the wreath with spray adhesive and then shake glitter across it.

(Not to much, its just to add a little shimmer to the snowflakes.)

When everything is dry, hang your wreath on the hanger and watch as everyone oohs and awhs!
