One Way To Go "Green" This Holiday Season!

 You may or may not know that I give my godson and his brother a gift card for whatever present giving occasion comes around. I usually try to dress up the packaging for the gift card. When I saw this on Holly's Hog Wild About Stamping, I knew I had to try it for myself!

What a fun way to give a gift! Oops, as I look at the photo of the "dressed up" wreath, it looks a little warped. I can fix that no problem, though. I included a plain one so you can see it. The wreath takes 15 dollar bills and I wanted to give them $20, so I searched online and found this site and I checked out the Money Star, which led me to this page that shows how to make a star using 5 bills. Perfect! I wanted to dress up the wreath a bit, but didn't want to do the rhinestones and I could only find some silver cording and ribbon. Not spectacular, but it'll do, right?

I timed myself making one of the wreaths and it took me 10 minutes to fold all the parts and put them together. Not too shabby. It also shows it's not a difficult fold. The star kind of looks complicated, but honestly, it wasn't hard either. You just need a smidge of patience when tucking the points together.

So, if you need a last minute gift, you may want to try this. Holly has a video showing how to do the fold and she's very thorough, well worth a look-see.

I got Louie the Lion done last night, so the teacher gifts are done. Making progress! Yay!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a super day.
