A bit about me...

I'm a mother to two beautiful mini Moon's, engaged to my very best friend, craft addict,
pixel lover and a DIY trial and error chef in my own world!! I love indulging in creative
outlets from crafting to enhance our home over the season's or creating unique items
for my children. I craft for cause and totally light up at any opportunity to help bring
awareness where needed to various aspects of issues close to my heart.  I will
LOVE to get to know you all and an opportunity to indulge in more future
blog shenanigans sometime.. Hope you can all .stop in and say hello..
....{I am an upcycling fanatic...My Project here today is one of 
my favorites.. Hope you enjoy and get to upcycle in style along with me.. }

Upcycled TP Roll 

           ......{Burlap Ornaments}❤

I thought I'd add a snow effect to my photo.. lol.. 

Pin It

These ornaments are very festive, pretty and feature hidden little treats for the lovely family

member's I created them for. Within the ornaments are candy, and a little lovely note I 

placed to add a special moment to Christmas morning. I am so thrilled to share my tutorial

with you today. Hope you get to create and share some lovely ornaments this Christmas.

**Magical Items Needed** 

TP Rolls (as many as you need per amount of people you are crafting for)

Burlap

Red Raffia

Candy

Snowflake Stickers 

Glue Gun

Gold Rope (Ribbon will do too)

Christmas Letter Stickers

................................................

** Lets Get To Work Lovely Elfs**

To begin, flatten your TP roll as flat as you can. 

Cut (allow for overlapping of burlap a little for folding), wrap and glue on your 

burlap around your TP roll. Once you are done wrapping your burlap to fit your
TP roll, tuck in the one end and glue together. Your burlap overlapping
will fold in perfectly to allow for neat fit and pointed edges. 

Once the first end is glued together (press down to make sure it's securely 

glued down), grab some candy (in my case, we have TONS of
Halloween candy still floating around) to stuff into your roll
and add a fun little note for the owner of your ornament. 

After adding in your fun little treats, glue the other end of your roll shut. 

Grab your raffia and get creative. Wrap it in an angle alongside your gold rope.

Tie at the top in a creative manner. Add your snow flake sticker and your initial.

They should both stick pretty steadily, if not, add a bit of glue to it but I doubt you

will need to. Tadaaaaa.. You should be all set and ready to create a little loop for

hanging using a bit of your raffia. You can glue a loop to the back lightly. 

ALL D O N E!! 

I absolutely enjoyed putting these together. I did them very early in the morning when 

everyone was sleeping to ensure that my surprise inside will add a special treat to our 

Christmas festivities. GREATNESS with TP ROLL! I am SO in LOVE with these 

awesome ornaments. I upcycled beautifully...What are you doing with your rolls?

PILE THEM UP AND GET CRAFTY FOR S A N T A ❤..
