Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments for the Just Rite Blog Hop. Many of you mentioned you would like to come to my Cookie Swap and receive the ornament. Since most of you, probably all, do not live near me so I thought I would post a tutorial on how to make it. It is very easy. So lets get started.

6. Place "cookies" into bottom box with mounting foam. Add 3D white paint for icing. Let dry.
7. Adhere sheer red ribbon, then ric-rac ribbon. Adhere Gingerbread Man, and sayings with mount foam to top of box. Adhere top box to bottom box on sides, to keep together.
Now wasn't that pretty easy. Regarding the rest of the set. It is pretty self-explanatory. But the cookie sleeve is made from the liner that your bacon comes on. I know what you are thinking, but it worked perfectly. Just cut and sew along the sides. On both the invitation and the cookie sleeve I used a brad, paper circle, and embroidery thread for the closure. Hope you enjoyed. Have a wonderful day!!
Here I have created a quick and cute holiday ornament. I used the Spellbinder's Die Holiday Cheer, and Poinsettia Frame. You can find them Here. You simply use felt, ribbon, paper, thread, and Fabric-Tac glue. Cut the Stocking twice with red felt, and twice with the white felt for cuff. The sandwich for the Wizard is white mat, die, felt, embossing plate, tan mat, blue mat. Hand stitch around stocking using blanket stitch. Sew ribbon on. Glue White cuff on. Cut Holly Berry Leaves from Poinsettia Frame, glue on. For berries, punch 1/8" felt with hole punch. Stuff with two cotton balls. Make tiny present, insert into stocking.
Hope you try these. They will make great toppers for your presents or alone as gifts. Thank you for stopping by. May you all have a wonderful day.
