A Christmas Treats Cart by Laura Carson!

Wow! Design Team Member Laura Carson, has created this amazing, colorful miniature cart filled with candy and cookies for Christmas!

Do you remember the Paris Street Painter’s Cart Laura made? (Photo at left.) It used the same Small Peddlers Cart as the base.

From Laura’s blog post:
For those of you into miniatures, how about a peddler’s cart filled with tasty holiday treats? I decorated the cart with gingerbread chipboard trim [look up behind the wreath], a wreath [made from Mini Holly Leaf Garland], holly leaf images, gingerbread images, hanging lights, candy canes, and two tin soldiers.

Many of the cookies are made from polymer clay and cookie cutter cabochons which I’ll cover in the video tutorial. There are chocolates (decorated with slices of polymer clay canes) and lollypops made from beads. I also used various pre-made candy canes, cakes, and gingerbread house beads.

For more photos, info, and video tutorial (!), please visit Laura’s blog post. And here is her supply list. (Plus a close-up photo of the cart is below in the Giveaway section, where I explain some of those treats in detail.)

Polymer Clay Red Swirl Peppermint Cane (slices decorating a gingerbread man in the upper right)
Mini Candy Canes (over at left in a jar; oh, why not: the Mini Glassware – Set of 17 that includes glasses & vases, too!)
