Papertrey Ink December 2013 Blog Hop

The challenge for the Papertrey Ink December Blog Hop is to use string on a papercrafting project. You can find all the details here at Capture the Moment.


The-Challenge
December Inspiration


I kept it sweet and simple. using string to tie a few tags onto these gifts.




The Joy tag is a repeat of one I created for the October Blog Hop using the Joy One Liner die, but I added a few bells as I tied it to the gift.

The smaller package is wrapped with kraft paper and sealed with a diamond pattern washi tape. A couple of the Tremendous Tags and a heat embossed sentiment from the Grand Ampersand set finish this one off.




My favourite tool for stringing jingle bells onto the twine is this flexible eye needle. The eye can twist wide open to easily thread a thick twine, and collapses flat to pull through the bell.




Happy Boxing Day to all those enjoying an extra day off today! Depending on where Christmas day falls in the week, dear husband sometimes get a nice long weekend, but not this year.

Enjoy the hop!

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
