Maya Road & Xyron Christmas In July

Well, I've made it to July 24th and have not shared a

single "Christmas in July" project up until now!

That's almost unheard of...for me anyway :)
But today is the day.

XYRON and MAYA ROAD

have teamed up this week to bring you some inspiration

from both of the companies!

Be sure to visit the Xyron Blog to see all of the projects!

My first project uses a recycled glass jar with a 4" opening at the top.

I embellished the top of a 4" Jumbo Bottle Cap from Maya Road with some

patterned paper by Doodlebug Design. After cutting the circle, I placed the paper

through the Creative Station to add a nice, even coating of permanent adhesive.

The metal flower bottle top was colored with a red alcohol marker,

topped with paper and then attached with Xyron 3/16" Adhesive Dots.

A wooden knob was painted lime green and attached with Xyron Adhesive Dots.

I added some ribbon to the jar by running a length of ribbon through

the Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker. A matching bow was added to the tag on front.

Two of the Raspberry Berry Beads were adhered to the side of the tag

with Xyron 3/16" Adhesive Dots

And lastly I have a quick, quick card that I made up with some of

the Paper Twist Ribbon from Maya Road and papers/stickers by 3 Birds Designs.

I slightly unwound the paper and then rolled it into a flower shape.

A 1" circle was covered in adhesive with the 1.5" Xyron Sticker Maker and

then the rolled flower was attached to it.

That's all from me today!

In need of a very inexpensive gift this Christmas?

Today I have just that up on the

MAY ARTS RIBBON BLOG!

It's a $2 photo album that I purchased from Dollar General.

Perfect for a mini December Daily project or a quick teacher's gift!
