DIY Christmas Gift - Part 2

On Christmas 2012, I got my all my family some personalized gifts and of course with cute pictures of our first daughter. But for this year, I was thinking to give them something else, even though I thought that giving them another personalized gifts with our 2 cute daughters' pictures would be okay.

I felt I wanted to do something different on this Christmas. For a almost a year I am addicted to Pinterest where I found some awesome DIY tutorials, PLUS a month ago my husband got me my long-dreamed-tool, Silhouette Cameo! So I decided to make our Christmas presents this year.

Today I would like to share these DIY gift I did. My new favorite bird nest necklace for my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law (and myself, too!). I found this tutorial from Sarah Ortega, which is super easy to follow.

What you need:
- Jewelry wire 20 or 24 gage (I used 24 gage, as suggested on Sarah's tutorial)
- Any beads that you would like to use (I used pearls, diamond, and also blue beads).
- Clasps and jump rings (I used both silver and gold)
- Necklace chain (I used both silver and gold)
Basically, you just wrap around the beads with the jewelry wire. I follow the steps on Sarah Ortega's blog. It is very easy to follow.

I put it in a box for this necklace using Silhouette Cameo and wrapped it with a bow.

So, did you make any gifts this year?

DIY Christmas Gifts - Part 1

Did I tell you how much I love my Silhouette Cameo? I LOVE MY SILHOUETTE CAMEO!!! :D
For Christmas, I created some cool stuff with that awesome cutting machine, I will need the new cutting mat for sure :D

THANKS TO MY BELOVED HUSBAND for getting it as a surprise for me :D

For a newbie like me, this machine is really cool and way easy to work with. My husband got me a different cutting machine 2 years ago and we had to return it because it was such a mess, expensive and had to buy the software to work on my MacBook. Since then we did lots lots lots of research on what's the best cutting machine for my scrapbooking and crafty projects. And the winner is Silhouette Cameo!

You will be surprise for what you can do with this cutting machine. For tons of creative ideas, inspirations, freebies and deals, you can check on their blog, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter.

These are the couple things I did for Christmas presents this year:

Hanging note holder
2013 calendar

Pocket Card Kit

Snowflake Ornament Box

Pocket Card Kit

4 cupcakes box 1 & box 2

I also made several jewelry boxes and pillow boxes for small presents. They turned out pretty nice and cute.
