Crazy For Christmas - Treat Tubes

Hello! We're all getting into the Christmas spirit over at Reverse Confetti, and over the next few days we'll be sharing lots of fun project ideas.  Today's projects all center around RC's fun treat tubes, and for my project I decided to make these little cuties! My daughter is obsessed with all things pink, and when I saw these two nail polish colors from Essie, I thought they would make great stocking stuffers.  Hey, it's never too soon to start shopping, am I right?? Lol :)

To create the tubes, I started with two Treat Tubes, and filled them with some tiny styrofoam beads.  I then gently placed the bottles into the tubes, nestling them into the beads.  Next, I used Treat Tube Topper Confetti Cuts on charteuse CS, then adhered the toppers to each tube.  

Reindeer Tag:

The Topped Off Tag Confetti Cuts was used on light pink CS, then adhered behind a white polka dot tag die cut from the Dots Tag Layer Confetti Cuts.  Several images from Blooms 'n Buds were stamped in black and pink inks, then die cut with the Blooms 'n Buds Confetti Cuts.  The Wheat Confetti Cuts was then used on chartreuse CS, then adhered behind the flower die cuts.  I then stamped the adorable deer from Jolly Holiday in versafine black ink, and heat set it with clear embossing powder before coloring it with zig clean color markers.  Once the image was dry, it was cut out with the Jolly Holiday Confetti Cuts, then adhered on top of the flowers.  A strip of chartreuse CS was adhered to the tag front, then the flowers and deer were attached using foam tape.  To finish up, I embellished with pink pearls, die cut a topper with one of the Hang Ups, Too Confetti Cuts dies and secured it to the treat tube with pink twine.

Snowflake Tag:

The Topped Off Tag Confetti Cuts was used on dark pink CS, then adhered behind a white striped tag die cut from the Big Stripes Layer Confetti Cuts.  I then die cut several elements using the Layered Snowflake Confetti Cuts on chartreuse, pink and white CS.  The snowflake pieces were adhered together, then attached to the tag front with foam tape. To finish up, I embellished with light and dark pink pearls, die cut a topper with one of the Hang Ups, Too Confetti Cuts dies and secured it to the treat tube with pink twine.

I also added a small loop of silver cord to the back of each treat tube, which will serve as a way to hang the little gifts from the Christmas tree. :)
