All are made from felt, mostly cut using dies and a cuttlebug.

All are hand sewn. The ribbon loop is hot glued between layers. (I didn’t find craft glue to be very effective.)

I also printed, laminated and bound a little reading guide to go with it.

Finished in time for Advent, 2019 and given to Holly’s family.

Stitched slots pocket set

• The envelope is an 8.5” square scored at 3 1/4 and 3 1/8.
• I also have gift card envelopes: 4.5 inch squares scored at 2” and 1-3/8”
• Tags are from the Bo Bunny Nested Terrific Tags set.
• Bakers twine ties (I’ll get hemp ties on the kraft paper set)
• Pocket card is from Matty’s Crafting Joy Stitched Slots Pocket set.
• Paper is generated from this awesome site https://spacefem.com/scrapbook/

Note- there is a thin line of glue at the bottom of the middle pocket but not the top one. Gluing the top one made it too shallow to be useful.

Paper wreath

The photos and instructions on this post were helpful.
Supplies:

• Thrift store book with slightly browning pages (mine is a dictionary from 1952)
• Lots of hot glue
• Cardboard or foam core circle for base.  I used 2 pieces of matting left over from a framing project.  For the outside dimension, I used a dinner plate.  For the inside hole, I used a small bowl, about 4" in diameter.
• about 8" of twine or ribbon for a hanger
• stapler to secure the bottoms of the cones

I also made a cone out of stiff paper (a manila file folder) to help more easily roll all my cones.

There are seven round on my wreath (the first is on the back side).

• Rounds 1-2 used full pages (about 7 x 8")
• Rounds 3-5 used 6 x 6" pieces
• Rounds 6-7 used 5 x 5", with the final round being rolled tighter than all the others.

The only other tip I'd add is that all of the pieces needed to be adjusted a little so the openings looked symmetrical - the convex and concave points were basically lined up.  Probably not necessary, but I liked the look better.
