Hmm…. not sure that sounds right… but anyway.. I simply fell in love with the Christmas stocking project Alyssa made here in this post (go ahead, check it out – I’ll wait….) I love everything about it – the proportion of the stocking, the cute pointy toe, the rusty jungle bells complete with star shaped holes – and the snazzy snowflake embellishment.

I filled it with candy cane Hershey kisses (they are yummy!) in a treat bag. I decorated the bucket top and bottom with a thin strip of Hippy Girl paper from the Kaisercraft pad (I really like the colors in the paper – some of it is glittery too!). The bucket is tapered, so I had to keep the strips thin to get them to adhere well. Then...
