We cut everything out and glittered the berries up on the holly, added buttons

(pink to fit the challenge) to the Gingerbread men

We then traced around two pan lids for the wreath !

I know I know ........ I have dies galore and a Cameo !!

I attatched a loop of ribbon to the wreath shape and then 

we used 3d foam pads to attatch the gingerbread men.

Hot glued the holly into place, added a bow
