PAPER DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - Holiday Donuts

Continuing with my "Sweet Christmas" theme here is a delicious donut duo! I love donuts more than anything in the world - and surprisingly they're somewhat of a Holiday trend this year. If you're thinking to yourself (as you should be) "one donut just isn't enough" you can diversify your decor with these other sweet ornaments.



You can download the ornament here! If you happen to make this, or any of the other ornaments - please take a picture and send it our way!

PAPER DAYS OF CHRISTMAS- Santa Cat

Santa Cat is like regular Santa, except he's smaller and more aloof.

This Santa Cat is based off our cat Zeus, who also has a luxurious beard.

PAPER DAYS OF CHRISTMAS–Winter Frame

I'm not especially fond of having my picture taken, but I'm beginning to realize that there are definitely pros to having a collection of photos. How else are you supposed to keep track of memories?
Now I know the preferred photo-storage ritual is Facebook, but here's a decorative alternative custom-made for this holiday season. Just snap a couple photos of your favorite people and craft away.

PAPER DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - Double Decker Snowflake

I'm visiting my parents in Mequon, Wisconsin today and am having a great time. We've spent plenty of hours talking about business, countless hours discussing housing, and even more hours making crafty things together. It's great to be home for a day. I love these guys. Plus, as a bonus, I'm getting to spend some time with my brother, Brian. He's hilarious and super fun to be around. I miss everyone here. Someday maybe we'll all live closer together.

So, tonight, after working on some other more secret projects with my mom, (don't worry, I'll share those with you guys later!) I sat down to make my ornament! Here's a double-decker snowflake for you! The only thing that would make this time any better is if I could get rid of this ridiculous, nagging cough. I blame you, Chris & Francesca!!! >:O Seems like all we're doing is trading illnesses! Alyssa, you're next!

PAPER DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - Week 2 : Octagon Ornament

We're on to week 2! Can you believe it's already December? I guess it's getting cold enough, right? (Well, here in Minnesota, at least). Today I've got the launch of our second awesome foldable, customizable ornament for you! This one is a two-parter!

Okay! So here's how you do it. With this one, you've gotta grab your glue and a little tape. If you want to use both parts, you're going to have to stick-em together somehow. I'll recommend a couple of things. If you finish folding the two little guys, you can actually use a needle and thread, tie a knot at the bottom of your thread, and string 'em like beads! With the left over thread (or ribbon -- whatever tickles your fancy) just loop it over into a beautiful bow, and there you have it! An instant hanger!

Or, if you choose one of the other orientations (like the one where the little guy is stuck on the front, you might have to use some hefty double stick tape, or a little glue! Good luck and happy creating!

Remember, if you make one and you'd like to share it with our readers, send it in anytime between now and Christmas, and we'll post it to share! (Send it to chris (at) paperbicycle (dot) com!)

We'll be posting our designs soon - It'll be fun seeing what everyone does with this shape! Ha!
