Hi everyone! Well we are finally in the Christmas season! I just love making things for the home at Christmas time. With the Christmas music (and occasional Christmas movie) in the background, there is no better time to create! So I got out the fabulous Saint Nick collection and made an adorable table runner. I hope you like it as much as I do!
Fancy Pants supplies:
Saint Nick: Tannenbaum patterned paper
Saint Nick: Christmas Story patterned paper
Saint Nick: Yule Tree patterned paper
Saint Nick: Gleaming patterned paper
Saint Nick: Joy patterned paper
Saint Nick: Garland patterned paper
Other supplies:
canvas fabric
sewing machine
sealer
Instructions:
Cut a bunch of 2x2 squares from your favorite pieces of patterned paper. Lay on your canvas fabric in the design you want. For end points just cut your squares in half, making triangles, to use on the edges. Cut the canvas around your design. I then ran my piece through my sewing machine to make sure all pieces stayed down and to give it more of a quilted look. Then I covered it with a sealer.
You can hardly tell I didn't use fabric for this awesome project! And because of the sealer, I am able to wipe it off if need be. And if I need to iron it, I just flip it over and iron on the back (you may want to use a lower setting on your iron). But this is a fun, easy project, that adds a lot of Christmas joy to your home. Hope you feel inspired to think outside the box with your beautiful Fancy Pants papers. And enjoy the Christmas season!

I would think that would work awesome to make some cute matching placemats! I remember making those with greeting cards and contact paper when I was a kid!

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.

Mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful.

I am pretty sure that more and more people will share the opinion that as big as one organization as less you should trust it. But they are great example of how to do business.
