One Word Prompt: WOOD

Hello

Welcome to my little crafting place! 

This time I've something different to share, a little wall hanging made 

for the Daring Cardmakers Challenge Blog. 

Jolly Crafty Christmas Time 2023

This time it's another One Word Prompt:

WOOD

What to make: 

Anything Goes

Its not just cards and its not just Christmas!
This week share any crafty project - Tags, Bags, Cards, Décor,  Boxes 

Whatever you want to make,  Christmas themed or not just be inspired by the word 'Wood' in some way

See what the team made HERE

I decided this would be a good way to use some of the little wooden 'rounds' I bought a couple of years ago (do you notice a theme of me buying stuff and taking years to actually use it?) and I think have only used as photo props so far.

Each round is roughly 5-6 cms in diameter and has one drilled hole.  I wanted to hang mine in a set of three so I got Hubby to drill a hole at the bottom of a few of them (in case I needed spares).

 

I used a small piece of finely corrugated card as a background for each of the Christmassy elements, and dies from various sets to make them

The tree on the top circle is cut from glitter card and decorated with gold thread and a string of tiny brightly coloured beads - it was a bit fiddly but it does look cute!

 

For the stockings I used the smallset of an old Memory Box set and resized some digital papers so the printed designs would be really small. I printed them onto Bazzill white card and as well as the top layer I cut them in scrap card  glued together to give some extra dimension. The stocking tops are more white glitter card and they are 'hung' on a length of gold twine

 

 

I realised that I didn't have a Father Christmas is the perfect size but that the Gnome set I've been using to make a few Christmas cards this year could be adapted to be exactly what I needed, and I had the perfect sized sack in another set of dies.  His hat is trimmed white glitter card for brim and bobble and there's more on his cuffs

 

To complete the hanging I used a very narrow red satin ribbon to join the three circles together.

I threaded some gold jingle bells onto gold twine and hung them through the hole in the lowest circle. 

Next I tied a bow in wider ribbon for the top and attached it with gold twine. making a hanging loop at the same time. I tied another bow with some medium width ribbon to tidy up the bell section

 

All the ribbon was rescued from last year's Christmas Crackers!
