Welcome Stampin' Friends and Happy Thanksgiving!
I meant to share these owls with you sooner! I made these owls for a demonstrator meeting. I am a part of a FABULOUS group of demonstrators, love you ladies and gent! Anyhow, I demonstrated these at our October meeting. I was inspired by a cute project I saw on Pinterest.
I made the box using the Fancy Favor Die. I dressed them up with a strip from the Tasteful Trim die for their ruffles. The wings are the light bulb shape from the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies. The scallop circle for the eyes is 1". The beak and the ears are the diamond shape from the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies.
The theme for our October Meeting was Holidays, so in my demonstration I focused on Christmas and made a few other things to match my Christmas owl.
Both of the containers are made with an empty brad/button container. The one with the lollipop stick was inspired by Becky Roberts. The container with the window sheet rolled inside was inspired by Angie Juda.
The Lollipop container is pretty simple. You need a Crop-a-Dile to punch a hole in the container, making the opening for the stick. I hot glued mine in place. It is decorated with punches to cover the stickers on the container.
The window sheet container is not as hard as it looks. The window sheet is 3" x 9". You adhere it to the container by putting sticky strip around the inside of the lid of the container, insert the window sheet, which should have sticky strip along one end. Once you have the winow sheet how you want it, adhere the ends together. As you can see this little jar uses the lid of the brad container as the base and the bottom of the brad container as the lid. Decorate your jar with punches and strips of dsp.
Note: the 2-1/2" Circle punch is the exact same size as these containers!
So, save those little containers and start creating fun little gifts!
Hope you are enjoying a peaceful day with friends, family, football and food!
