Pear & Partridge Display Tray

A few weeks ago, I made this adorable Display Tray with the Pear & Partridge Paper Packet. I LOVE these! They are so simple to do! You cut out paper, and glue them , and then add embellishments, and they are just so cute. What a great way to decorate your home for the holidays!

What I used to make this project:

Subtotal $35.85
Total with Shipping and Tax $41.56




Now, I just need to put my photos in (and maybe order them, too).

If you would like to make one of these, please contact me (970-618-7582) or email me (schristiansen07@yahoo.com), or you can order from my website!
