A Crafty Badger

Hi everyone! Now that Halloween is over, Christmas crafting has begun! This piece is a unique spin on a shadow box. I wanted it to have the look of a Christmas gift box. I am quite pleased with the results. I did two separate sizes, a small 4x4 and a medium 5x5 size gift box. I picked these boxes up at my local Hobby Lobby Craft Store for under $4.00 for both.  I wanted to use the beautiful flannel patterns from the Tim Holtz 2017 Christmas Mini Paperstash. Below is the supply list and steps for this project.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      SUPPLY LIST Tim Holtz Christmas Mini Paperstash (4 patterns 2 Sheets each) 4x4 and 5x5 Paper Mache Gift Box (Hobby Lobby) Tim Holtz Collage Medium Tim Holtz Salvaged Dolls x3 Tim Holtz Salvaged Santa x2 Tim Holtz Metallic Deco Sheets x3 (2

I love to repurpose vintage items and incorporate them in my pieces. A few months ago, My husband and I drove to Raleigh, and went to this colossal flea market held every weekend at the fairgrounds. I happened to walk by this table, and came across this vintage looking Jelly Belly gumball machine. The first thing that came to my head when I saw it was Christmas. It was my find of the the day, and a steal for only ten bucks. My idea was to transform this gumball machine into a beautiful snow globe. I hope you like the results! The steps for this project are listed below.                                           Step 1. Disassembling the Machine  I disassembled the machine using a flathead screwdriver. I stored the smaller parts that I did not intend to alter in a gallon size zip lock bag.    Step 2. Selecting the Embellishments and the Epherma   I used pieces from the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology 2017 Christmas line. If you have not seen his 2017 Christmas re
