Today’ on Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Edition, we have a challenge for our subscribers to create a favor…any 3D type of project they would use at a party, or give to a friend…just a little something small!
I came up with a way to use the stash of test tubes that I have in my storage area! I filled one with Cocoa powder, one with crushed peppermints, and two with small marshmallows…because I like LOTS of marshmallows in my hot cocoa! Wouldn’t this be fun as a little treat for someone? Or to tuck in a stocking?
Of course, I had to jazz it up with some type of stamping on it!
- I adhered the test tubes together with mini glue dots.
- I wrapped a strip of Snow Festival Designer Paper around the tubes to hold in place.
- I wrapped the Gumball Green Sweater Trim around and tied a tag on front.
- For the tag, I cut two of the Window Frames Collection Framelits from Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green.
- I paper pierced around the smaller one with the Festive template.
- I inked up the cocoa cup from Scentsational Seasons with Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip for the liquid, then cut it and the steam with the Holiday Collection framelits.
- Finally, I added little bling with a Rhinestone Jewel in the center of the snowflake design. It’s popped up on the front of the Frames with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
Here’s the back side:
Isn’t it fun???? I love how it turned out! Come on…you know you have a stash of those test tubes in your storage area…get them out and make one for yourself or a friend!

Super cute…where did you get those tubes?
This is such a fun idea! Love it!
How cute! Where do you get your test tubes? Didn't think I needed any test tubes so I haven't bought any. Now I see how cute this is and I want to make some for Christmas!
Hi Connie, super cute, love this idea, would be great for an event I'm doing with some ladies. Do you know if the test tubes are still available anywhere?
Cindy
This would be a great idea for my kids to give their friends for the Holidays! Just precious!
This is awesome, Connie. I also have several test tubes in my supply cabinet and I'm not sure why I bought them. 😉 Now, I know!! Thanks for sharing this very cute project.
Wonderful idea, Connie!!
Hi Connie…I love your Snowman Soup! I even have the tubes!! What do you have in the 4th tube? Think I'm going to make this tonight!

Connie – I need to buy 50 or so tubes for craft fair use. I've ordered the wrong size and brand in the past. Don't want to repeat that mistake!!! Can you tell me the length and width you ordered and if you found it to be best.
What an absolutely adorable project Connie!
I LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful projects!
