Holiday Stocking Treat Box Video

09/06/2011

Hi, Everyone,

I just love this die. It's called the Holidy Stocking die from Stampin' Up! Just watch the video below so I can show you how I made this stocking.

I got the shower gel through Avon here. They're only $1.49 right now on sale. They fit perfectly into this stocking and then there's even room for candy, too.

I just wrapped my Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and Early Expresso 1/4" GG ribbon around my candy cane.

I also used this stocking for the challenge over at The Hybrid Chick. The challenge was to use some twine on a project. I decided to use the twine in my 3d project and not on a card. Just shakin' it up a bit :)

Refer below for video and some dimensions.

Here's two of the stockings done. I plan on making more and just filling them with some cute treats. Maybe a pair of mittens or something like that. The possibilities are endless.

Here's how big the candy cane is. Click on the link above to purchase these shower gel candy canes. How cute! I just wrapped ribbon around them to match.

Here's a view of the inside.

Here's some measurements:

For inside stocking:

Cut your paper to 1 1/2 x 6 1/2 long and score at 1/4 inch on both sides along the long edge. Turn piece and score at 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 along shorter edge

Cut your paper to 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 and score at 1/4 along the long edges
Turn paper and score at 1/4 inch and 2 1/2 inches along the long edge

Use sticky strip for the ruffle ribbon

For bells cut a piece of baker's twine at 7 inches and tie on bells.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Just ordered this die from Joan in NH (all my friends want to use it) so we are having a party where everyone brings their Big Shot and we pass around the die. Great project. tfs. Flirtini
