Mel Tiglao - Unwrap the Magic




Paper Piecing Techniques used:
Christmas Tree- I scanned a pattern of a Christmas tree meant for paper piecing from Scrapbooks Etc. Nov./Dec. 2008 issue and printed it. I traced the pattern on green and light green cardstock for shading and cut them out. I layered the pieces on brown construction paper as the trunk. I inked the edges of the leaves with green ink pad and chalk. I embellished the tree with glitter glue, beads of different colors, bells and felt star.

Holly- I cut out the shape from checkered green pp by folding the paper in half and making reverse scallops. I inked the edges and the middle with green ink pad. I put three hollies together, embellished with diamond glaze and red buttons.

Gift boxes/gift bag- I roughly drew 3-D boxes on different pp. I cut them out and made separate box tops and used foam tapes for dimension. I embellished with ribbons. I used a pattern from a book for the paper bag. I cut out a rectangle shape from a pp and folded the sides and the bottom, left an opening at the top. I placed a small strip of pp as the handle and embellished with gold foil.

Good times come in packages wrapped with love and care shimmering in red and green magic in the air.
