Altered toy drum

First of all I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that visits my blog and a special one to everybody who spends time to leave me a comment. You are special to me and give me more and more energy to continue to search in this beatiful paper world!
This time was the time for a broken drum toy to be altered, to be given a new life. Kian was once imitating dad and playing hardly on the drum and suddenly he made a huge hole in it.
I started to undress the drum of its previous skin and re-built it completely.
The front skin is in acetate and it closes the tree and the tiny treasures at the bottom of it inside and together with the heart inside it says: It is the Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.

I've put new sort of eyelets to hold the string on the ouside.

I've made a christmas tree using some stripes of paper thet I've rolled at the end, added some glitter and of course some holly fruits, because it can't be Christmas without red. I used some translicent paper for the back so when I put the drum in front of a light is like a little lamp and a soft light passes through it.

The heart is in grungeboard, paited and distressed.

A teddy bear and the ribbon to complete the Christmas atmosphere.

A small pile of letters...

A grungeboard reindeer and a glitter snowflake complete the frosty look of the drum.

Having a drummer for husband I think a decoration like this one was inevitable :-)
Have a nice day!
