25 Days of Christmas: Day 22

Day 22: 5x5 Tiles

These 5x5 Tiles are great pieces for making little decorations for Christmas! They are perfect door hangers and display pieces for photos, vinyl sayings, or just creating a decorative piece using some pattern paper and embellishments you like. They are very inexpensive, come unfinished (perfect for decorating any way you want), and are only 5x5" so they don't need a lot of supplies or time to finish.

Project & Layout Ideas: Simple Stories.

Over the past couple of weeks we have been working on putting together layout ideas and project samples using all of the new paper lines we have recently received in our Paper Crafts department.

Today I wanted to share some of the new projects we have created using lines from the company Simple Stories. We do have additional layouts and projects that we are posting this week - which you can find on our Pinterest board and Facebook page.

First, using the Simple Stories Smarty Pants line Melissa created these layouts and card:

 

She also made this great little Learn Live Grow sign using pieces from the paper line and a 5x5 Tile. You can find project instructions for this piece HERE.

Another new line from Simple Stories is the Say Cheese line. With this line Melissa created some layout ideas (which she also used divided page protectors on), a card, as well as a few decor pieces.

Magic Scroll Frame - You can find a project sheet HERE.

 

Smile Hanging Sign - You can find a project sheet for this one HERE.

Project Ideas: 5x5 Tiles

To end the week I have a few more project ideas to share with you!

All of these projects use the 5x5 Square Tiles that you can find in our Paints & Basics department. They are perfect for little projects and come unfinished so they can be altered any way you wish. We have used them individually, as covers for little books/albums, and this set of samples even includes two of them attached with brackets to create a two panel display. 

You can find links to detailed supply lists and instructions by clicking the project name before each project below!
