Merry & Bright Christmas Label (original) (raw)
It's sure been hectic around here. We had sickness move through the family before and after Thanksgiving and so I've had to put my blogging on hold for a couple days to get everyone back to good health. Now that we're feeling normal again (well, as normal as possible), life can continue as scheduled (fingers crossed).
When I was Christmas shopping last year, I ran across a little Christmas "pail" like this one at one of the major department stores and I fell in love with it. I didn't buy it, though, because I always had good intentions on re-creating it, myself. Well, it's only taken me a year, but I'm proud to say, I did it.
I bought some of the cute little pails from Oriental Trading Company and filled them with gummy bears. Because who doesn't like gummy bears?
I wrapped a ribbon around the pail and then printed out my label on sticker paper and just stuck it on over the top of the ribbon.
It was looking good, but I felt it needed a little something more yet. I found a cute, blue, crazy-looking bow to stick on top of top of the pail to dress it up even more. Don't you just love all of the bright colors? I was thinking about making the label say, "May your days be BEARY and BRIGHT," but decided that might be a little too much. Yes?
If you want to make your own Merry & Bright gifts, just download the PDF and print the labels out on sticker paper. I've included four labels per sheet. What a fun idea for anyone in your life that needs a little Christmas cheer!
