Jolly Santa Hat Test Tubes

Jolly Santa Hat Test Tubes

Oh My Goodness!  Are these Santa test tubes cute, or what?!  It seems like any kind of box or bag or container that you add a Santa buckle to is adorable and these are no exception!  I hope my craft fair attendees love them!

Test Tubes—You can find these 4" test tubes & corks in the October "Something Good To Eat" Paper Pumpkin Refill Kit, exclusively available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  Did you know that as a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber, you have access to purchasing past kits and refill kits?  It's true!  You get 16 test tubes in the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Santa Belt—I cut a 2-1/2" x 1/2" strip of Basic Black for the belt.  I added a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive down the length of the belt, then before taking the backing paper off, I used a Bone Folder to curve the strip to help it wrap around the tube easily. 

Santa Buckle—I had a retired 1/4" Square Punch so I punched the center hole of the buckle along a 1/2" strip of Silver Glimmer Paper, then holes out at a 1/2" width.  If you don't have a hole punch, cut 1/2" Silver Glimmer Squares, then add a 1/4" square of Basic Black card stock over the top with a Glue Dot.

Jolly Santa Hat—I punched out a Cherry Cobbler hat with the Jolly Hat Builder Punch, then punched the trim and ball from Dazzling Diamonds Paper.  I added the trim pieces with a light bead of Multipurpose Glue.  To attach the hat, I punched a 1/8" hole in the top of the hat, then tied it onto the cork with the Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine. 

Don't forget, the Jolly Hat Punch is an optional Add-On to my Jolly Friends Stamp-of-the-Month Class Kit.

Sweet Treats—I filled the test tubes with an 8-ball pack of Sixlets—it fits perfectly!  I bought them in bulk from Party City.
