Ornament and Bag


As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to Embrace The Unexpected. Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are to surprise someone with an unexpected gift or card!  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this.  I'm surprising a couple of oboe students with these 3-D printed ornaments in musical gift bags.  I did design the ornament in Cricut Design Space and then my husband printed them for me.  

As for the bag, the note and treble clef with oboe were designed in CDS and imported into Canva where the holly and staves were added. I printed the finished Canva creation onto a 12 x 12 inch paper and cut the boxes/bags back in Cricut Design Space.  

Need a little help making a bag in Cricut Design Space? Check out the video below for hints on how to create your own unique bag!
