One of the big things we do at our Team Christmas Party every year is a hand-stamped gift exchange!!!
I thought I would share with you the gift that I made for the exchange, it's a Topiary Christmas Tree!
Here's a close up of the base, it's an Old Saint Nick RubOn on it and 1" Chocolate Chip Double Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon tied around the base:
Here's a close up of the bottom topiary ball. I used a combination of Holiday Treasures and Ski Slope Designer Series Paper along with the Boho Blossoms Punch and Silver Brads.
And then here's the top one -- the same supplies as the bottom, I just used different prints:
The tin was purchased at AC Moore - same with the wooden dowels and styrofoam balls. A little Sticky Strip is holding all of the units together, but the styrofoam does a good job of keeping things in place!
WOW!!! Gorgeous, do you have any idea how many flowers and brads it took to complete your Topiary Christmas Tree? Also what size of strofoam balls did you use?
Love your work. Thanks for sharing.
