Welcome to the Cutters Creek Design Team Holiday Blog
Hop! We want you to hop along with us and play for some awesome Blog Candy. The
objective for our Blog Hop this weekend is to provide some inspiration to help
you get your holiday crafting underway! Our Design Team has come up with some
fabulous projects and we have a little bit of everything, from cards to gift
ideas, and home décor items. So we invite you to hop along with us and get your
creative juices flowing!
I first used a pair of pliers to remove all extra hardware
from wooden mousetraps (leave just the mouse clip) and then, painted the edges with paint dabbers and
under the middle spring. I cut two pieces of decorative paper for each trap—one
at 1 3/4x2” and the other at 1 3/4x1 5/8”. Edges were inked and then pieces
were glued down with my ATG. I wrapped each base with ¼” scortape with which I
adhered the chosen trim. Each trap was decorated differently (see below) and
magnetic strips were added to the back so they could be hung on a refrigerator.
