I love creating special gifts and as I was preparing for
convention, I decided to make these easy but adorable Minnie Mouse purse charms
for my roomies.
The CTMH base and bling products made this a fast, simple
and easy project.
I cut the Minnie
silhouette and bow on my Cricut and then a one inch square of glitter paper for
the background.
I layer all the pieces,
inserted them into the pendant, added liquid glass and then the glass
cover.
I was done!
When it dried, I added the charms and
alligator clip to finish it off.
So fun!
Every gift needs “wrapping” so I cut the image from the
Artiste Cricut cartridge, added some patterned paper for a splash of color, and
tied the purse charm on the inside. I
closed it securely with a bit of waxy flax (an older CTMH product that I miss)
and it was ready to include in my gift bag.
In addition to the key charm, I found some fun Minnie
notebooks that I dressed up with a band and the initial of each of my
roomies. I added a glow stick and a few
little goodies…and I am ready to go.
Beginning this fall, I will be offering a month workshop and
kit to go featuring “gifts galore.” I
find it nice to have small gifts on hand that I can choose from when I am on
the go but want to surprise someone with a little something. As convention unfolds this week and new
products are released, my busy little brain will be looking for ideas on
special gifts. Watch my upcoming calendar,
Facebook posts and right here for these new workshops.
Happy gifting!
