Jingle All The Way!

Happy Hump Day!  Need a cute and fun gift for under $10 that you can make in less than 15 minutes? Then this post is for you!

Today, I am showing a project which I coordinated with this weeks SCS Color Challenge to use Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Very Vanilla.  Here's my project. . .

Now I must be honest, this idea was not my own.  I found a similar box on Pinterest and linked it back to it's rightful owner, Heidi Boos.  Her project tutorial can be found HERE!  This project takes 15 minutes!  I'm serious!  A super easy Christmas gift! 

You start with a shadow box frame (Michael's $4). I roughed up the edges of mine to make it look a little more vintage.  I chose a scrap of pattern paper which coordinated with the challenge colors and cut it to fit for the background. (Scraps are free!)  I used Jingle All The Way Small Real Red Decor Elements from Stampin' Up on the glass (Stampin' Up $3.50)  Then I  simply dropped in various sizes of red and silver jingle bells (Hobby Lobby approx $1 worth), placed the back on, chose coordinating ribbon (approx $1 worth) and adhered it to the frame.  I added four mini cushions to each corner on the bottom for two reasons - make sure it is balanced and no chance it can scratch anything (Lowe's .25).  There you have it! Super simple! Total cost $9.75!

I am making a couple more of these in different color schemes and will post pictures as soon as they are finished! 

Have a jingle bell kind of day!

So cool!! Wonderful that we can troop around in cyber space and have our creativity ignited by what we see. Thanks for sharing yours and taking some of that time that you don't have to leave a sweet comment in my gallery. I think I feel a case coming on but instead of bg paper I have an adorable picture of my two grandsons. Only challenge may be that our supplies in Canada don't quite match up in variety and price to yours there, but I do love this idea!!

Love your take on the frame!! I love the addition of the jingle bells to the top of the frame with the two types of ribbon. Thanks for sharing the link to my tutorial. Hope you had a blessed Christmas!
