For Christmas, my wonderful husband bought me a Silhouette Cameo. I hadn’t heard of it until Thanksgiving but we looked at it and thought it looked awesome. If you haven’t heard of it, Silhouette is a company who has digital cutting tools. You connect them to you computer and it cut’s what you tell it to. I haven’t gotten to play with it as much as I have wanted to but it can cut paper, fabric, vinyl, heat transfer material and it can sketch and has the ability to do some rhinestone work too. It’s pretty awesome!
I used glitter cardstock for my snowflakes and plain cardstock for my mitten’s. I made one pair for each of the 3 of us and I love how they turned out! I used the following shapes by Silhouette: snowflake, classic snowflakes, and hanging mittens.
After I cut the pieces I attached them to black and white bakers twine using glue dots for the snowflakes and small wood clothespins for the mittens. So simple and so fun!
If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can make your own snowflakes like this and use real mittens that you can find at Target or Walmart and you can get the same look.
I added an extra snowflake to our J on our picture wall and called it done! Do you feel like the house is empty after Christmas?
