It's the final day of our Countdown to Christmas and we chose to bring you the project from our last Craft & Coffee morning this year. This beautiful piece of decor was inspired by Pete Hughes who showed a very similar project on Hochanda in the Summer when the Reindeer Bigz die was first released.
To make this project we used:-
Chipboard
Stampendous Embossing Powder in Metallic Tones (we used a copper tone)
Wooden Block
Metal Skewers (in 3 different lengths)
We die cut our reindeer from chipboard and also some kraft card. The kraft card cut out is used to cover where the skewer is stuck on the back of the chipboard reindeer.
We used a metallic embossing powder to cover the reindeer so that they have a beautiful metallic finish, making them look as though they have been cut from metal. The way the embossing powder sets on the chipboard also gives it a slightly bumpy texture which adds to the metal effect.
We used a small drill to make three holes in the wooden block and then used a very fine tip glue to glue them into position.
Add a stamped design of your choice to the wooden block, we used a Reindeer Mail stamp as we thought it matched in very well.
To finish off the whole project we added some very small LED lights that were on a very fine copper wire and wound these round and in-between our reindeer.
We can't believe we have reached the last day in our Countdown to Christmas already, which means Christmas is almost here. We hope you have enjoyed all of our ideas this year and we will do a quick recap of all our projects tomorrow before we bid you farewell on the blog until 2020!
