A Prickly Tale ~ Double D Challenge

Hello there!  Welcome back to another episode of Double D Challenge!

Diane has chosen a festive challenge for you with the theme of "Christmas Ornaments".

 

I took this challenge quite literally when I discovered that I had made these Christmas ornaments last year from an old children's book that was falling apart and had never posted them.

 

The book, "A Prickly Tale" was cast away and due for the trash, but I swooped in and saved it, and gave new life for a precious little babes first Christmas.  

 

 

I used the book covers to create the box to hold the ornaments. 

 

 

It's super cute how you can see the images from the inside cover inside the box. 

 

 

I cut the images from the pages and glued them onto wooden ornaments that I picked up from the Dollar Tree, using Mod-Podge. I also cut the story line into word strips and attached them to the ornaments.  The words on each ornament tell their own story.  

 

 

 Once the ornaments were dry, I added fuzzy gold trim that also came from the Dollar Tree, using hot glue to attach it around the outside edge. 

 

  

I covered both sides of the ornaments the same, using the darling graphics so that no matter which side shows, there's something fun to look at for sweet baby Isaiah.

 

 

I made a greeting card for gifting...

 

 

And packaged it all up nicely in a pretty cello bag.

 

I hope you'll find time to visit Double D Challenge and join in on the fun!
