Holiday Copycat

I pinned this really simple and cute Christmas project from BH&G.

I have tons of scrapbook paper!  I used Christmas scrapbook paper, but you could use any kind.  The sheet music and text papers would look great for this project, too.  I cut two pieces of paper from one pattern of paper ~ a back and a front.  Size is up to you.  A second paper is cut for the front pocket, which is cut a little shorter than the other two.

I put all the pieces together and sewed up as far as the pocket.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to put cardboard for stability, but it seemed okay.  To close off the front/back piece I used double-sided tape.

Of course, I couldn’t just leave it at that and pulled out some ribbon and trim I had.  I got this fun one from Sonya in a swap a couple of years ago.

I used a couple of Christmas ribbons I had on hand, too.  I think it gives them a nice finished look. 

I used a couple of tags that came in the Christmas scrap pad on a couple to write either “Merry Christmas” or the person’s name.

If I make more of these, I think I will cut the tops with the craft scissors I have with different cuts {i.e. scallop, victorian}.  I think that would look pretty, too.

All set to give out to whoever ~ students if you’re a teacher, the postal carrier, UPS or Fedex driver, use them as place settings at your table, gift package toppers.  I’m sure the list could go on and on.
