Santa Pants Treat Box with Drawers - Day 10

Are You Ready to Become the Talk of All Your Friends with the Most Unique Set of Gifts They have Ever Seen?

12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts Tutorial E-Book is now available! 

Hi Folks! I am back from my Women's Retreat this past weekend. I really had fun on that retreat, great food, great location and awesome new girlfriends I met. I am in a great mood today and I have a great project to share, which is included in the 12 Days of Christmas E-Book ( 2nd Edition). I may say this is my favorite. I really had fun making this Santa Pants Treat Box with Drawers so I am sure you will do the same.

Day 9 - Santa Pants Treat Box with Drawers

I know some of you can not wait for the release, and I promise it is coming soon.    I always put a lot of thought into which projects to include and that is taking a lot of time.  But guess what, 2 more projects and you can finally have the complete tutorial for all the 12 projects.

This Santa Pants Treat  Box with Drawers is really great for packaging your holiday treats this season. You have the option to just do the box and not bother with the drawers, but I always want to make ordinary projects extra ordinary so if you notice I always have "2 in 1 or 3 in 1" projects.

 Please stay tuned for the release. Be patient, my friends. 2 more to go!

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Please stay tuned for more Holiday projects to come.

Christmas Ribbon Headband - Day 8

Are You Ready to Become the Talk of All Your Friends with the Most Unique Set of Gifts They have Ever Seen?

12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts Tutorial E-Book is now available! 

Are you guys excited about the release of my 2nd Edition of 12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts yet? We are now on Day 8 so that means there are 4 more projects to go before the release date.

For Day 8, I would like to share with you this super EASY+ FAST+ CHEAP holiday project. It's a Christmas Ribbon Headband. You might not believe me when I say that I spent less than $1 on this headband. Oh yes my dear fellow Crafters. It's that cheap but it is selling around $8-$10 in Etsy or at the retail stores.

Here's the breakdown on the cost.

• 1 yard ribbon ( wrapped around the headband) - $0.25 cents
• 1 yard 2-Toned Ribbon Flower - $0.50 cents 
• feathers - $0.10 cents
• sticky tape/double sided tape/ fabric glue (I already have these supplies but I only used a little so maybe $0.10 cents worth only)

This Christmas Pyramid Gift Box will be in the Revised "1st Edition of 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Gifts" E-book when it is re-released. I temporarily removed it from my Etsy Store because I needed to make some revisions.

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Please stay tuned for more Holiday projects to come. 

Christmas Treat Bag & Drawer Box - Day 7

Are You Ready to Become the Talk of All Your Friends with the Most Unique Set of Gifts They have Ever Seen?

12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts Tutorial E-Book is now available! 

 Hello everyone! Are you ready for Day 7 of my 12 Days of Christmas Handmade projects? I love to experiment, and through my experimentation I have discovered some designs that I really like. Today, I would like to share this 2-in-1 project.  A Christmas Treat Bag and Drawer Box. This project is so cool.  Plus if you would like to do the Christmas Treat bag only and omit the drawer, it's possible, so it is very versatile.

Christmas  Treat Bag& Drawer Box - Front Side

I will re-shoot this tomorrow so I can take a photo of the Drawer Box when the drawers are open. This project would be great to package some Christmas Trinkets, Gift Cards, or even jewelries. I think it is also great to use as a promotional product. Just fill the Christmas Bag and Drawer box with small promo items.

The step-by-step tutorial for this Unique Holiday Gift Packaging will be available on the 12th Day of Christmas. They will be included in the 2nd Edition of the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts E-Book.

3 in 1 Christmas Treat Bag, Box & Card - Day 6

Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts. 

So, what is the Day 6 project? It might be appropriate to say projects because it is a 3 in 1! I prepared a multi-functional project for Day 6. It is a Christmas Treat Bag, a Treat Box and Christmas Card rolled into 1! Cool, Eh?!

If they can do 3 in 1 in some electronic gadget, I think we can do it also in Papercrafts. You can do a lot of things with the Day 6 Christmas Project Template. It is great for a holiday promotional product. You can insert your calling card, or attach a card, fill the box with sweet goodies, and use the bag for your promo product such as handmade soap, handmade candles, handmade crafts or stationery. The possibilities are endless.

I used a craft knife for cutting a window out of my treat box and for the other one I used a Spellbinder die. I then covered the hole with acetate, but you could use clear plastic.  Then I filled with goodies and decorated. I must say, this is one of my favorite holiday gift boxes. It is very versatile and you can use it for any season or themed party events.


I filled my Treat Bag with my handmade ribbon flowers. One uses the 2-Toned Color Ribbon Rose Flower and the other one is the Frilly Fabric Flower.

The step-by-step tutorial for this Unique Holiday Gift Packaging will be available on the 12th Day of Christmas. This will be included in the 2nd Edition of the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts E-Book. You can find the first edition here: 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts E-Book

But wait! If you are like me and you can not wait sometimes, the separate tutorial for just this project is now available for purchase at my Etsy Shop. If you want to buy just this one tutorial, you have that option now.  But be aware that this will be included on the 12 Days of Christmas 2nd Edition and we can't refund you if you decide to buy the E-book later on (but, you will still get 11 other craft ideas, so it will be more than worth it).

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Please stay tuned for more Holiday projects to come.

Window Christmas Tote Bag

Are You Ready to Become the Talk of All Your Friends with the Most Unique Set of Gifts They have Ever Seen?

12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts Tutorial E-Book is now available! 

Welcome to Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts. The Day 4 project is a Creative Christmas packaging project. It's a Window Christmas Tote Bag. I don't know about you, but I like gifts that are beautiful equally inside and out. Sure, it is easy to wrap  gifts with wrapping paper using different colors and patterns, but there  are certain gifts that you just don't wrap right with wrapping papers. Here's when creative packaging comes in.

This Window Christmas Tote Bag is made out of 2 pieces of 12 x 12 heavy cardstock but you can always adjust the template according to any size you want or need. Please remember that the template and tutorial will be available on the 12th Day and that there are 8 more Christmas projects to go! Please stay tuned.

The window of this bag is a created using a Christmas Cracker template. You can leave it open or you can cover it with clear acetate. This will enable you to show off the product or gifts inside the bag. With that being said, this would also be a great packaging for promotional products like handmade candles, handmade soaps, cosmetics, or even Christmas ornaments. The possibilities are endless on what you could put inside.

The step-by-step tutorial for this Unique Holiday Gift & Packaging will be available on the 12th Day of Christmas. This will be included in the 2nd Edition of the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts E-Book. You can find the first edition here: 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts E-Book
