Twas the Night Before Christmas Stand

I love the story of The Night Before Christmas. It's such a favorite of mine that I have it memorized. Over the years, I have done several projects based on this story. One year, I decorated a small artificial tree with gingerbread ornaments that depicted the story. This year I found Graphic 45 had this fabulous sheet of paper out and just had to have it. I planned this piece around that paper. After purchasing the unfinished stand I painted it to match the paper. I'm also a big fan of bling so I chose mod podge that has sparkle in it to adhere it and added rhinestones to the flourishes. I am so thrilled how this turned out and it has made a nice decoration to sit next to our family tree.
