I've seen these all over the crafting sites and my daughter asked when I would make them.
I had bought these very small glass ornaments from Michael's and was not sure what I was going to make with them.
Since I got a container of black seed beads, I used them as the "eyes" and "buttons". For the carrot, I took a toothpick and colored the ends with an orange sharpie, broke it off and added them to the ornament.
For the melted snow, I used Epsom Salts. Added a piece of plaid material as the scarf to the hanger portion on top. These are very small ornaments but such a cute idea.
These are very small. To make them I used my big Sizzix die that has 4 different circles. To make mine, I used the 2 1/2" and 1 3/4" to cut the white felt. then sewn a gathering/running stitch along the outside and stuffed the little circles with fiber fill.
I hot glued the circle plumps together and tied on a piece of material for their scarf. Their eyes are little black seed beads. I think they are so cute and they are tiny! I got this idea from another crafter, if I find it, I'll post the original link.
Even though Christmas is over, I made these Friday morning just for something to do.
I used the Stampin' Up two tag Sizzix die, and the gorgeous reindeer stamp. I inked the edges and added glitter glue.
Love these and will keep them for next year's gifts.
I used a pattern from Jim Hankins, The Gentleman Crafter and immediately created my version.
Jim used pattern paper, I painted and repurposed an old FedEx shipping box.
I hand cut the sides of the sleigh and with multiple coats of acrylic red paint I set it to dry.
I measured and followed the back piece by using my On The Edge Sizzix Tim Holtz die to create the fancy back and front edges.
All sides, bottom and the secret seat/lift compartment were all hot glued in place.
I created the headlights by using snowflake brads
The license plate is also a Sizzix die that I glued to another piece of the re-purpose box.
The reins are made by threading the gold glitter cording through soem retired Stampin' Up hardware.

Hi Folks,
You may have seen my post from last year, but since I sold out of my crochet necklaces at last years craft fair. I made more for this year's craft fair too!
I sell them for only 5.00
Here are a few of the couple dozen I made.
The silver bead you see is actually the end slider to allow for different lengths.
This card was a CASE and I loved the layout so much that this is my version using scraps!!
Love it! Got to keep the scrap pile down.
This card was made for my daughter who turned 22 last week.
The butterfly, the border punch, the flat back pearls and sentiment are from Stampin' Up. Most of the scraps I think are as well.
