Two Projects Finished: A Christmas Miracle

 It has been some time since I've glued things to things and decided to clean off the craft table and make something. Two somethings, actually. Thanks for being patient, Leslie!

The first project is very quick to finish and would be a fun gift if, like me, you've waited until the last minute to do anything holiday related and need a present for a bestie. I removed the lids from two Small Sliding Tins from Alpha Stamps and made snarky fridge magnets! Who doesn't like a little snark, right?

Okay, so maybe this gift would only be appreciated by mothers, because we all know what needs to happen for a holiday to be awesome:

And Dads?

Well, at least there's wine.

To make your own magnet gifts, first remove the lid from the Mini Slider Tin and spray paint the bottom half. This is optional. I chose to paint the inside and edge white because it was quicker than fiddling with a teensy strip of paper for the inside. Add paper inside, on the back. Glue in a fussy cut image, like yawning Dad there... I also found the Tiny Cardstock Icicles & Christmas Ornaments fit nicely. Glitter some things, add optional snarky text, then glue trim around the edge, like the Miniature Red Tinsel Garland. Stick an Iridescent Snowflake Sequin on the tin, add an Adhesive-Back Magnet Strips to the back, and done! 

While waiting for the spray painted tins to dry, I dug around in my bin of Things That Should Be Used to find a super cute resin wheelbarrow and thought, "I wonder how much stuff can be crammed in there?" 

Quite a lot, as it turns out! Gingerbread house, donuts, red & white lollipops, star cookies, a gumball machine, canisters of candy, a cookie sheet of tiny gingerbread people, even an itty bitty tree! All I really did was paint the wheelbarrow, put a bit of floral foam in the bottom, add ALL THE THINGS, then fill in with white pom poms. 

I also discovered an unfinished wooden tool box and stuffed it with goodies, too. 

After painting the wooden toolbox, I added little bits of polymer clay inside, put easter basket grass on top of that, then stuck red and white candy canes, green, red, and white candy canes, and more lollipops into the clay. The snow people are from the Christmas Cookies Large Polymer Clay Slice Mix (and are adorable!).

And there you have it! Paint. Fill. Done!
