Tilda's Christmas Decoration

Good morning my blog friends, well i think it's going to be another visit to the dentist as i'm still in pain and i think it's the tooth at the very back this time!!

You may be wondering what i've used to create this, it was a magnifying glass frame which my DH broke and he was going to bin it but i said 'No' i will find a use for it!! And this is the result using some satin fabric, pearl trim, a Spellbinders Create a flake die, some flowers and lovely Tildas.
