I need your address, or your neighbor's address, or your work address, or wherever you want your kitschy-stocking-kit sent if you were among the fabulous people who wanted one, heheh!

I'd like to get these in the mail Friday.

Here's a couple ideas for y'all if you're like me and trying to be all "santa-gangsta"
Pattern links are below.
Find a pattern you like and print onto cardstock. Children's coloring book pages are great for patterns because of the simple design.
trace that onto poster board (which I like because it's heavier than the cardstock I have)
cut them out around the tracing, but not directly on the lines
glue your decorative paper onto the untraced side of the posterboard (or whatever heavy paper you're using)
Trim around the traced lines
glue more decorative paper onto the plain side (trimming excess)
punch a hole for hanging - or for turning in to gift tags
embellish them with whatever you want.
On a scale of easy-peezy, these are e-z!
The mitten pattern was found here
I used vintage wallpaper and sheet music
dusted the whole thing with mica
These are a tiny bit trickier because they require a craft knife, unless you have magical scissor skillz.
The ice-skate pattern was found here
Again I used wall papers, music, and text
embellished with brads and whatnots
silvered the blade with glass glitter.
I also sandwiched 2 sheets of posterboard for one skate so the blade is more stable.
