I made these sleighs using a brass stencil in my cuttlebug. I made 7 of them for my work colleagues and each took me about an hour to do so it was a long job! The sleighs originally had blades on the bottom, but the weight of the chocolates made them bend so I had to cut them off. Maybe I should have just put less chocs in!!

These are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Just a thought about the weight ... if you ever make these again, maybe you can adhere patterned paper to chipboard or thin cardboard (as from a cereal box) and then cut them out. The chipboard/cardboard may make them sturdier. Just a thought.

You did a great job on this Vannessa! I would love to be your work colleague and receive one of these ;) I hope they appreciated all the effort you endured in making these for them
