One of my favorite things to make with my xTool M1 is earrings. Going out for a date night? Make new earrings. Holiday time? Make new earrings. Baseball game? Make new earrings. It’s so fast and easy to customize any look. Our Christmas Earrings will complete any holiday party outfit!

Materials needed to make your own Christmas Earrings

• xTool M1 10W
• Brown acyrlic
• 3mm basswood
• Red acrylic
• Vinyl
• Transfer tape
• Red pom poms
• Hot glue gun
• Earring hardware

Because the xTool M1 uses a diode laser, you are limited in the acrylic colors you can cut. However, the ones available are perfect for Christmas! Download the Christmas Earrings file from the bottom of this post.

Open xTool Creative Space (XCS) and upload the reindeer earring cut file. Open lid of xTool and place the brown acrylic on triangle prisms. Close the lid to refresh the real time materials picture. Arrange your reindeer earring file and duplicate image to cut both earrings. You will need to add a small circle to the top of the reindeer in order to add the earring hardware when complete. While the image is still highlighted, adjust your settings to laser flat, BLACK acrylic and raised on triangle prisms. You will also need to change from score to cut.

Once arranged to your liking, send the image to the xTool by clicking process in the lower right hand corner. Click start and then press the flashing button on the front of the xTool. Your image will begin cutting.

Once done cutting, remove the acrylic and carefully pop the reindeer out. You will need to remove the masking paper from each side of the earring.

Add your earring hardware. To finish these off, hot glue a small red pom pom to the front of the reindeer. How stinkin’ cute are those?!

The wreath and light bulbs are done similarly in the XCS programming. However I had to layer our materials because I was unable to cut the green acrylic. The base for the wreath and light bulb are cut from basswood. You will follow the same steps but change your material type to 3mm basswood.

Remove the triangle prisms and clean the bottom of the machine with rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry and then add the two sided adhesive mat to the bottom plate of the xTool. Add you vinyl to the adhesive mat and be sure your blade is loaded in the housing unit. Change your settings to blade cut and use it to cut the green part of the wreath and the red and silver parts of the light bulb.

I cut the red bows on the wreath from red acrylic and then hot glued them on the front of the wreath. Follow up the above steps for setting to cut the red acrylic but change material to red acrylic.

Transfer the vinyl onto the wood using transfer tape. Follow the same steps for adding the earring hardware to complete.

I freaking love these! Everyone keeps asking if I will sell them!

I love being able to give away the platter or plate that I share goodies on. It’s so much easier than trying to track down missing items. My go-to is a plain white plate or platter from Wal-mart that you can decorate for the occasion. This Christmas Cookie Plate is a friendly reminder to enjoy the holiday and not worry about your waistline.

Ready or not, Christmas will be here before you know it. That means holiday parties will be in full gear. I always have such a hard time deciding what to bring to potluck parties but these dessert boards are perfect for Christmas. And who doesn’t love a good Christmas cookie?

Remember, it doesn’t have to be fancy. Some of these cookie board ideas include store bought cookies that are arranged to look pretty and fancy. There are so many possibilities here!

I grabbed these 98 cent plastic snow globes from Walmart a couple of weeks ago and I thought they would make a cute winter project! These would be a great idea for a Christmas craft night with the girls!

This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.

Materials needed for Lighted Snowman Snow Globe

• Plastic snow globe
• Felt top hats
• Red and black buffalo plaid ribbon
• Battery operated tea lights
• Black and orange adhesive vinyl
• Cricut or Cricut Maker
• Light grip mat
• Weeding tool
• Mod podge
• Foam brush
• White glitter
• Hot glue gun

Begin by taking apart the snow globe. Unscrew the bottom and set aside.

Using your foam brush, paint a light coat of mod podge on the inside of the globe. Add about a teaspoon of white glitter while the mod podge is still wet. Screw the bottom back on the globe and shake to mix the glitter.

Set aside and allow to dry. In the meantime, use your Cricut to cut the snowman face. I used the image Snowman Face #M3FF91940 from Design Space. You can choose whichever face you want! Follow the prompts to cut your vinyl.

Add the adhesive vinyl face to the side of the snow globe.

Next, hot glue your felt hat to the top of the snow globe.

Use the ribbon to create and scarf and tie around the lid of the snow globe and add the battery operated tea light.

Screw the bottom back on the snow globe and all finished! Isn’t he the cutest?!

Matching pajamas and clothes are all the rage during the holiday season. My sister and I thought these shirts were hilarious and she helped me come up with some outside of the box ideas to put on them. I’ll own the sugar cookie high one and my husband is totally the Grinch. These would make funny gag gifts too!

Now I know some of you are going to send me nasty emails or comments about this shirt. It really isn’t meant to be crass, just funny. This idea was born from my grinchy office manager who we told to go elf herself so she would join in the holiday spirit.

This sign reminds me of something you would see in an old Christmas movie like “Holiday Inn” or “White Christmas”. It makes me want to settle down in a ski lodge, surrounded by snow and pine trees decorating for Christmas. This is a mini sign but you can change the sizing in Design Space to make it larger.
