button starMake a whimsical Christmas star from pre-cut foam. If you plan to hang the piece, begin the project by hot-gluing a loop of ribbon to one of the star points—the ends of the ribbon will be covered by scrapbook paper later. Then, choose two coordinating scrapbook papers. Trace and cut panels from one paper design for the front and back of the star; fasten them to the piece with double-sided adhesive. Next, measure and cut strips from the second paper design for the sides of the star; fasten them to the piece with double-sided adhesive. Finally, use a hot glue gun to add an array of coordinating buttons to one side of the star, as shown.

Craft a Christmas wreath that will never dry or fade. This be-ribboned decoration lasts from Season to Season with its

festive burst of color for your favorite time of year. Beautiful in a window or on the front door, it radiates warmth and whimsy wherever it’s displayed. Turn to the back page for instructions.

ribbon wreathCreate a beautiful ribbon wreath using a lightweight foam form. First, choose a variety of coordinating Christmas ribbon. Working with a single roll of ribbon, measure a loop to about the width of your finger. Then, use straight pins to secure the loop to the form (do not cut the ribbon from the roll.) Continue pinning loops in rows across the front of the form as shown—leave the back of the form bare for hanging. When you’ve reached the end of the roll, trim off any excess ribbon and pin under the end. Repeat the process with each new roll of ribbon until the entire form is covered.
