The Xyron, Faber-Castell and Creative Imaginations Design Teams are getting us ready for Christmas with two weeks' worth of make-your-own gift ideas - and I have been inspired! I hope you have too!
Today Sharon Callis gives us not one, not two, but FIVE gift ideas - and instructions for each one. Our cup runneth over today! She turned this old planter...
in to a gorgeous candle set...
and a plain glass cookie jar...
into a fantastically festive piece for your foyer or dessert table!
Head on over to her blog for instructions and three more darling project ideas, then check out the Creative Imaginations blog for some whimsical canvases that make perfect gifts!
Xyron wants to help you get ready for the holiday season - so we're having a giveaway! Leave a comment here and one lucky winner will receive a Xyron prize pack that includes a 2.5" create-a-sticker, our new Glue Stick for Corners, a Tape Runner and an Adhesive Eraser. Someone is going to be ready to get crafty with this prize! We'll announce the winner on my Facebook Page tomorrow morning. Good luck!
Yay!!! I need a new adhesive runner!

ReplyDeleteLove the transformed cookie jar! I'd love to have the 2.5" stickermaker. I just introduced a teacher friend to what I call the "X box" last Friday, and her MIND was BLOWN! She was totally amazed at how easy it was to sticky-up numbers we were putting on Advent calendar drawers. :)
