My friend had three of these really cool red, wooden caddies. She was kind enough to give me one of them. I knew that it was a good size to put together a little Hot Chocolate Caddie that I could keep on my kitchen counter during Christmas or give as a gift.
I added silver glitter adhesive vinyl to the sides of the caddie that I cut using the Cricut Maker. You could also use the Cricut Explore Machine.
The designs were free in Cricut Design Space™ with a Cricut Access Subscription. I found them by searching for snowflakes and hot chocolate.
Some of those snowflakes are tiny and detailed. The Cricut Maker Machine cut them out with no problem.
What’s hot chocolate without a pretty mug to warm our hands? I cut extra snowflakes that match the caddie, and a red mug of hot cocoa to put on the mug. I love how it all coordinates.
