12 Days of Christmas Projects – Project #11
Christmas Project #11 – Christmas Puddings!!
These make me smile! The idea just came to me one day and I thought – “I could make a pudding!!!!”
Well, considering that there’s NO WAY that I’d make a REAL Christmas pudding – baking just isn’t my thing…. LOL – I thought at least I can make a fake one. TEE HEE!!!
To make your Christmas Pudding you will need:
- Circle punch (I used my 1&3/4 punch)
- Small oval punch (for the Holly – see my previous Christmas Project for a tutorial for how to make Holly)
- 3/4″ circle punch
- Crop-a-dile (for Berries and Raisins)
- Scissors
- Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White and Poppy Parade cardstock.
Punch out the following shapes:
- circle in Soft Suede
- circle in Whisper White,
- 3 x Wild Wasabi ovals
- 4 x Chocolate chip tiny circles
- 3 x Poppy Parade tiny circles
Then using very sharp scissors, cut the Whisper White circle into an “icing” shape. It’s hard to explain, so here’s a picutre for you:
You will see that you can actually use both sides of the ‘icing’ – so you will get two puddings from this one Whisper White circle – just flip one over.
Now you want to make your Holly – see my previous post about making Holly – well, you can see how easy it is by checking out the picture!
You don’t need a photo of the teeny tiny Chocolate Chip and Poppy Parade circles for the Raisins and Berries – but you get the idea… assemble your Christmas Pudding parts and glue them down with Tombow Glue or your Two Way Glue Pen. It’s super easy and even the children can get involved with this one to help you make them!
Here are my finished Christmas Puddings ready to go on cards, candles and drinking straws for the children at Christmas!
You can’t see the glitter that I added to the edge of the icing. So cute!
Thankyou for visiting!
