Did these at High Halden Craft Club.
Take some wrapping paper and a cocktail stick!
Cut some snippets of paper, and use the stick to roll up tightly.
Slip them off the stick and cut into sections....
A piece of paper for the background,
stick the rolls on and add a star...
Here's another with plain background,
and a 'present' sticker for the 'pot'
Bit wonkier this one eh?
Good fun had by all!
This is a great way of using all those small bits of wrapping paper
left over, that are not quite big enough for that last little
present, so you have to cut into a new one,
I know you've been there and done THAT!!!
25th of the month and you know what that means.....
PLUS
It's a new week in the Snippets Playground
and there was lots of snippetty snippets used here!
See you there....

Very clever use of left over wrapping paper, Lesley, the trees give a lovely texture to the card, very tactile.

ReplyDeleteAnother most unusual & beautiful Christmas tree. Love this idea, and the colors you selected to create the rolls were so pretty. I must try this...what a way to use up snippets. Bet it would work well for colorful magazine pages too! Brilliant idea. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteThese are fun! I remember my mom making something like this when I was a wee kid.
