Today’s hop is all about 3-D Christmas gift ideas. The idea I came up with is from a long time ago. When we were kids we made paper ornaments from paper sacks that we stuffed with paper. You can create a lot of inexpensive ornaments this way. Plus a handmade ornament is always special to a loved one, I love it when my nephew would make me an ornament, it is that loving touch a person needs:)
I decided that is what my 3D Christmas gift will be for this hop. I know you will enjoy this tutorial and I would love for you to comment on what you create or receive for Christmas that is handmade with love.
Supplies:
Gingerbread and Peppermint Memories and More Card Pack are what I used, but you use whatever you have or if you would like to order this set, see images at the end of this blog post.
Cookin’ Dies #154333
Paper Sacks (dollar tree)
Die of choice to cut the ornament base (mine is retired, do not remember the name)
Multipurpose liquid glue #110755
rhinestones of choice (optional)
wire for the ornament hanger
Steps:
- Die cut the shape from a paper sack (the die I used is retired but any die shape will work.)
- Glue all edges but leave one end open.
- Stamp or adhere items to front of shape and let them dry.
- Stuff with some of the paper sack and seal shut.
- Pierce holes for the hanger and add it.
- Finish decorating as desired.
I know you will have fun creating these ornaments with your kids for your family and friends. Now on to the next hop over on Kelly’s blog.

Technique Tuesday-One Sheet Wonder
Today’s Hop is a One Sheet Wonder. I found this 6×6 cutting template from Jess Crafts.com. I created three cards using this template with the Handmade Tag Bundle.
