ANYTHING BUT A CARD WITH BUGABOO STAMPS


My Christmas ornament, a Tussie Mussie, was made from scratch, and features bugaboo Stamps images from the Mini Set - Fairies that I coloured in red and green using alcohol markers.

 
To make my Tussie Mussie, I used a cereal box to create a cone, and covered it with Christmas wrapping paper.  The opening of the cone was with trimmed with tinsel.
 
 The Bugaboo fairies and round, silver ornaments were attached to striped Christmas drinking straws, and the foam glitter stars were stuck onto kebab sticks that I coloured red and green with alcohol markers:

Silver ribbon was tied into a multiloop bow and added to the tinsel.  The carry handle is a green tinsel pipe cleaner.
 There is a mini glass glitter ball attached to the bottom of the cone.
