Santa's Sleigh Centerpiece with Chalk Marker Snowflakes

Here is an idea for a centerpiece for your Christmas table. I was surprised how easy it was to turn the 2-dimensional die cuts into a 3-dimensional project.  The idea for this project came when I discovered that Stampin'UP!'s chalk marker works on glass and its permanent!  If you haven't played with Chalk Markers you really need to.

I love this ornate Santa's Sleigh and reindeer dies, the dies look great on cards and scrapbook pages. Plus there's a matching stamp set! and you can save 10% when you buy them together as a bundle.

Today's challenge - going from 2D to 3D.  Once I figured out how to make the sleigh and reindeer stand up the project actually went together rather quickly, it just looks like it took a lot of time.  And it gets a much appreciated "wow" from friends who see it.

About the Base:

• Inverted wine glass set on a circle of black paper (to help show-off the snowflakes)
  The flat bottom of the glass is the surface for the sleigh
• Hand drawn snowflakes made with Stampin'UP!'s Chalk Marker.  Its permanent and doesn't wash off!

The Sleigh:

• I used a large piece of White Glimmer Paper as the "snowy" base
• To support the deer and the sleigh so they'd stand up, I used long 1" wide strips of paper, scored and folded to make an open rectangle. I found it needed a really strong adhesive to stay together, Stampin'UP!'s Fast Fuse worked well.
• The gold cord trim was held in place with glue dots and the little red bows hid the glue dots from view.
