A Santa Jacket

Jingle belles rock have the cue of
'Santa Baby'

A couple of years ago I made these covers for a bar of chocolate but never shared them so here are mine


I halved an A4 piece of card stock and then scored the side panels using my Crafting Companion for a neat fold. The belt was measured carefully before cutting and the buckle was die cut using my Cuttlebug. Some double sided tape secured the jacket at the back.
A fun project and well received by the reciprocates.
