TIM TAM BISCUIT WREATH...

Love Tim Tams?

Love Chocolate?

Then this Christmas creation will be your HEAVEN!

A Tim Tam Chocolate Wreath! 

You will need:

 For a three layer - 36 Arnotts Tim Tam biscuits
For a four layer as I have made - 48  Arnotts Tim Tam Biscuits.
Milk & white chocolate melts
Red and green lollies

 Melt a little milk chocolate over hot water...

 On a large round platter, join 12 biscuits to create a circle.

 It will look like this.

 Then do the same with the second layer as shown.

Continue in this way until you have your three or four layers completed.

Melt white chocolate over hot water....

Dribble over the biscuits so it resembles snowy icicles...
(this is quite funny as the humidity is 90% and it is near 25 degrees today in the Bay Of Plenty  - and I'm making snow!!)

Decorate with red and green lollies as desired...

Keep refrigerated if you live in a warm climate,

Just bring out to room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting into pieces.

 A WOW Factor Christmas treat for sure...

A serious chocolate biscuit lovers Christmas fix... 

HEAVEN!

Framed Christmas Bauble Picture...

It's always fun to change up the décor for Christmas, and as I have been doing a bit of paper crafts lately,  I decided to craft a simple picture using Christmas scrapbooking paper.

This idea for the templates was originally for card making by Homemade Gifts Made Easy.

http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/handmade-christmas-card-ideas.html

But I have popped the picture I made in a frame for the mantel.

You will need to:
Gather together some glue, ribbon, heavy card, Christmas themed papers and embellishments.

Print this template and cut out the desired ornament shapes you want to use. 
I used two shapes.

Prepare a frame.

This old frame was painted red.

 There are many beautiful Christmas papers available. Choose two.

 Pencil (I used pen so you could see, but pencil is best) around your templates,
and cut out your two ornament shapes...

Glue into position on the card, which has been cut to the right size for the frame.

Stagger the heights of the two ornament shapes. 

Add ribbon hangers and embellishments.

When glue is dry, pop into the frame.

Simple Christmas paper craft the kids would love to do too!
