| A Christmas table favor featuring a flower made from Christmas Gleaming baubles |
These little table favours are very simple to make and perfectly sized to hold a Ferrero Rocher chocolate! I saw cards featuring flowers made with the Christmas Gleaming bundle and thought they would make very effective table decorations so I adjusted a Ferrero Rocher holder to a suitable size to support the flower.
We have two Christmas celebrations in my family .... well you can never have too much Christmas can you?! So this is how I'm decorating the table for the second (smaller) celebration.
It's quite easy to make and I made four of them very quickly using a conveyor belt approach. I've included a tutorial below - just scroll down. I used the Thick Very Vanilla cardstock to provide more support.
Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!
