Hi ya everyone!
Getting a jump on my Christmas stuff - here are some simple ornaments I made! My LSS has some clear glass ornaments that I picked up. I also got Martha Stewart's tinsel glitter in red and green. I made a funnel out of paper and filled each glass globe with a mixture of the two glitters. I then cut out snowflakes on my Expressions from Accent Essentials.
I added the shadow as well but hid some of the contours on the inside. I took the snowflake and ran it through my Xyron upside down. I added some fine stardust glitter to each snowflake and mounted them on the shadow cut. Next, I punched a hole in each snowflake and ran a white sheer ribbon through and looped it on the ornament hook holder and tied a simple bow.
I love the way these turned out! I made 10 and have a few special friends to send them to! Thanks for looking!
Enjoy!
I love them! It is so cute!I have wanted to make ornaments and the glitter you used is perfect for this type of project.

ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!!! I love the ornament and the snowflake tag -- all that bling!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's too early at all; I'm trying to get a jump on Christmas too because I'm so slow -- LOL!

ReplyDeleteI posted the blog candy too soon...sorry...I added the details for winning/posting about it to the post you already found...sorry for pre-posting. LOL
Melissa, these ornaments are stunning...so gorgeous! I'm sure your friends will cherish them.
ReplyDeleteOh, Melissa! They are beautiful!!! :) I love the patterned paper under the glittered snowflake...such a nice touch!
ReplyDeletedid you add clear glue in the ornament first?...filling it all the way with glitter would be a mess if they broke?
ReplyDeleteThe tinsel glitter looks so much better that regular glitter!
Nope no clear glue - and yes it would be such a mess!!! However, Sheila at She's A Sassy Lady has one she did a year ago and she used furniture wax which makes it stick really well without any clumping!!!
