Giant Peppermints Tutorial by Lindi Haws of Love The Day

As many of you know, I was featured in the 2020 Michaels Holiday Lookbook! It was a HUGE honor and I’m so excited to share some of the crafts I made to create my Peppermint Lane Tree.

The first craft I’m starting with are the Oversized Peppermint Decorations! They were the ‘focal point’ of my shoot and I’m so excited to share how made them! 

NOTE: Also from the Holiday Lookbook are my posts on How To Make A Vinyl Treat Box and How To Make A Paper Gingerbread Garland DIY.

HOW TO MAKE PEPPERMINT DECORATIONS

SUPPLIES YOU’LL NEED

12X12 Inch Styrofoam Discs

8X8  Inch Styrofoam Discs

Love The Day Gingerbread Holiday Bundle (the peppermint templates & printables)! 

12X12 Red & Pink Scrapbook Paper

Hot Glue Gun

Cricut Maker (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR LARGE PEPPERMINT ORNAMENTS

 

1. PURCHASE THE GINGERBREAD BUNDLE!

The first thing you’ll need to do is purchase the Love The Day Gingerbread Holiday Bundle from my printable and SVG shop!

This will provide you with the EXACT template for the 12 inch and 8 inch peppermints.

The bundle includes both an SVG file (for those with Cricut Machines) for the 12 and 8 inch peppermint rounds and also a printable file (for those without a machine or prefer the ease of working with printables) with the peppermint slices for you to print, cut and place on the discs!

2. PRINT PRINTABLE OR UPLOAD THE PEPPERMINT SVG FILE TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE

The next step is to either print out the printable peppermint pages or upload the SVG file to Cricut Design Space.

For those who are using the printable pages, print and being cutting the peppermint slices and skip these Cricut steps!

3. INSERT THE FILE INTO A NEW CANVAS

As I mentioned, these peppermints are designed specifically to fit the 12 inch and 8 inch styrofoam discs! You don’t need to touch or tamper with them. They are ready to cut!

4. PRESS MAKE IT & LET THE CRICUT DO ITS THING! 

The peppermints are sized and should be color coded for you. All you need to do next is press MAKE IT and let the Cricut work its magic.

5. START GLUING!!

Grab your hot glue gun and start gluing the pieces down. I started with one piece, glued a second opposite of it and continued in that fashion to make sure the pieces were evenly spaced.

    Hi! I am obsessed with the gingerbread/peppermint tree!! I bought the pack and am trying to recreate it in MY living room =) I do not have a cricut, so I am using the printables and cutting them out. However, the peppermint slices don’t fit on the styrofoam circles, they are too small. I tried to increase the size on my computer, but they still print the same size. Can you help? Also, the gingerbread people for the tree top are printing smaller than they look on your tree. Please help. Thank you!

    I went into Michael’s to purchase these peppermints when I saw them on their advertisement’s tree!!! It took me a long time to find your tutorial here! SO cute, but I did not really want to purchase the whole pack! I was hoping just the peppermints would be available by themselves!
    I do not recommend hot gluing paper especially when gluing it to styrofoam! They make a special styrofoam hot glue!
    Mine had globs of glue underneath and almost “melted” the paper! I used Cricut quality paper as well, but could not get mine to lay flat- the paper bubbled! I may try the smooth styrofoam rounds with vinyl instead. Cute idea though. Happy Holidays!

    Kelley…did your paper FIT the stryofoam? Mine weren’t big enough.

    Hi Kelley!

    You can purchase just the peppermint SVG file here: https://lovethedayshop.com/collections/christmas-svgs/products/peppermint-svg-cut-file!

    And I use a low temperature glue gun and it works great! No melting…no paper bending. I should put that in the post. Thanks for the reminder!

    Hi Michelle!!

    The printable templates should fit a 12 inch and 8 inch styrofoam discs. Make sure to print at 100%!!

    Also, the gingerbread boy/girl are a little smaller than the ones I put on my tree because I was able to resize the file with my Cricut. Email me and I can make them larger for you if you like!

    Hi! Before buying, I would like to know if it is possible to make the drawings that come larger or smaller. Thank you!

    The printables can’t be resized, but the SVG files can!

  • Anyone else feeling the need to organize EVERYTHING!? This holiday was busy & super messy and I’ve been trying to get organized after all the fun chaos! This week I’ve decided to tackle the epicenter….my craft room/office. It’s a disaster! I decided all my craft supplies needed their own home and found the most amazing totes/bins at @michaelsstores (I’ll share them in my stories). I placed vinyl labels on all the bins and am starting to feel so much better about life. Here’s how I did it! If you are looking to organize your craft area, I’ve designed some SVG labels for you. They are on my blog! #cricutmade #cricutcreations #vinyllove #craftroomorganization #linkinbio👆 #craftroomstorage #svgcuttingfiles #svgfilesforcricut
  • Whew....we almost made it y’all. There’s no doubt that 2020 was an absolute doozy for just about everyone. Although I know the turn of one day isn’t going to bring around immediate change (especially during a pandemic), there’s something about a new year that brings with it new hope and new wishes! What are you looking forward to in the new year?! I’ve designed a full 2021 printable calendar to help you plan and dream for the year ahead. #LTDprintables #linkinbio #2021calendar #newyearnewgoals #printables #dallasblogger
  • We’re getting ready for Christmas Eve Dinner and even though it feels different with just our family of four, it’s no less magical. After starting the week off by sulking (with me being the most guilty), we decided our family really needed to turn it around. The second we started thinking about others rather than ourselves....BAM! Christmas spirit explosion!! An afternoon of random acts of kindness fixed all! Now we’re prepping for dinner with The Carpenter’s Christmas album blasting and excited for the festivities of the next 24 hours!  It’s amazing how getting outside of yourself can change everything. If you’re in a Christmas funk..try it! It will instantly bring magic to your holidays. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
