Hanging Christmas Decorations

This will only be a quick post as I have too much stuff to do, and not enough time in which to do it!

I made another of these decorations using coasters today. This time I used paper from Anita's 'Classic Xmas Blue' 6x6 pack, and silver ribbon with a Christmas greeting on it. The letters are the same as before, again embossed with silver. I have to say these letters are great to work with, I'll definitely be buying more (from HERE)

Sorry about the picture, the weather's been horrible and dull so it's hard to get a good one :(

Thanks for looking!

Coasters

I finally found somewhere that sells white coasters (as opposed to the printed ones I used to have to use that showed through!), so I did some experimenting:




I covered both sides with dp from Papermania 'A Wonderful Christmas Time' set. I sanded the edges and punched holes using my Crop-o-dile, and added red eyelets. I threaded red grosgrain through, using dst to secure it on the back. The letters are chipboard, covered with Versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder - these came from Handy Hippo and are 1 1/2" tall.





For this pen holder, I again covered both sides of the coasters with dp from the Dovecraft Masculine set. I sanded them and then used ribbon to join the sides (the holes were made with the larger side of he crop-o-dile). The base was stuck on using Diamond Glaze, and the dividers were added at the end.
