PRODUCTS USED/MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO (please note that your supplies will differ if you choose a different theme)
--Aluminum “altoid-style” cans purchased on Amazon. These have smooth fronts and backs making them easier to use in paper crafts than a real "Altoid Tin".
--Santa graphics as well as traveler style graphics for the suitcase. I love Graphics Fairy (https://thegraphicsfairy.com) and they are my frequent go-to for printables.
--Acrylic paints in Lamp Black, Espresso, and Antique Gold but any black, brown and gold will work.
--Holiday fabric
--Gingerbread boy or girl (that fits the can)
--Ranger Distress Oxide Spray (I used Spiced Marmalade)
--Ranger Distress Paint (I used Crackling Campfire)
--Dylusions Shimmer Spray (I used Postbox Red)
--Stickles (I used Christmas Red and Lime Green)
--Black craft foam
--Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye
--A bit of lace or other trim (about 12 inches altogether)
--A tiny bit of very lightweight stuffing for bedding
--Standard scissors, a couple of paint brushes, water, alcohol, paper towels, glue (I used both Reptile and Aileen's Tacky Glue), a pen for the final detailing dots
QUESTIONS?
Although there are not step-by-step instructions in the video, I think that watching as I create and listening to my directions (especially regarding the creation of the bedding), this should be relatively easy to follow along. HOWEVER, if you have questions or find that you are not understanding any particular part of the process, please leave a comment and I'll respond quickly. No sewing is needed - you can do all the bedding with a glue gun and fabric as they are just simple rectangles and are not going to be under any "stress" of use once created.
