Christmas Series Day 29th - Bead Wreaths


On the 29th Day of Christmas
Santa brought to me

A great idea for an ornament!
So I am sharing it with all of you
Today I am personally posting :)


My gift to You is a post on
 "Bead Wreath's for your Tree" 
I wanted to add more color to my tree. but I had a hard time finding oranges for my tree. If you walk down the christmas aisle in walmart you can find every color BUT orange.
 So I found some nice glass beads and pearls These are very easy to make. String the beads & pearls onto clear fishing wire and tie off. Add a ribbon where you tied off (to cover the knot) and add more to it. 

Supplies: Beads, fish line (or wire) & Ribbon
These cost me .75 each if not less.

Christmas Series Day 27 - Monogram Christmas Ornament


 
On the 27th Day of Christmas
Santa brought to me

A great idea for personalizing your tree!
So I am sharing it with all of you

Monogram Christmas Ornament
I am so excited to finally be able to use some of my Tim Holtz Grunge Packs. These packs hold either a page with each letter of the alphabet or each number 0-9 and some fun shapes. They also come with different textures embedded into the top of them. The ones I am playing with today are just smooth. The fun thing about his grunge product is that it is as thick but can be twisted, scruntched and still keep it's form. 



So today I am making a Monogram Christmas Ornament for my tree. 
I Chose and H for my last name. I thought the top right H would be the coolest to work with.

Now that I picked my Letter I grabbed some of my Luminarte in Red. You can use regular paint or whatever you have on hand. 
I think dabbed red on the top of the H, let it dry and then covered the back. Make sure you also get the sides. 
I decided that I would like to put a little embellishment on my H and chose Holly & Berries. So I took a piece of the scrap grunge and outlined 2 leaves and a couple berries with black marker. (if you are nervous about the black marker, start out with pencil until you end up with a design you like, then outline it with black marker.
This is what they looked like once they were cut out. I did 2 berries together and 1 by itself. I did this because I want to layer my berries for an awesome 3-D look.
Taking some green shimmer metallic green paint. Again you can use whatever paint you like.
and I also grabbed some coppery/gold beads from Martha Stewart.
I painted the berries cranberry red, leaves green then added some clear glue to the top of the berries and added the gold beads.
After layering the leaves and berries onto the H.
Add some ribbon so you can hang it and there you go.. you have a personalized monogram ornament.

Christmas Series Day 17 - Child's Wish List Ornament




On the 17th Day of Christmas
Santa brought to me

A great idea for an Ornament you can add to each year!
So I am sharing it with all of you
Today I am personally posting :)


My gift to You is a post on
 "Child's Wish List Ornament" 




This is a perfect Ornament to make into a christmas tradition. Each year you or one of your children will each make out a christmas list and place in the ornament. When there 18 or moving out, let them take it with them so they can continue adding to it. You can later choose when you will open it to see all the many wonderful things you placed inside. Wouldn't you love to know what you wanted for christmas when you were 3 years old.

Start off with your choice of clear glass ornament. I choose a fun square shaped one.


You will also need gallery glass (color of your choice), piece of paper, a pen, 
a little bit of thread, ribbon, 1 button and a hook.


To make the christmas wish list to go inside the bottle.
Cut a piece of white paper 1 1/2" x 4 ".
Write at the top the year that you are currently on.
Then write what you or your child is really wanting that year.


Roll the list up and tie off with some colored thread.
Once done slip it into the ornament through the opening. 


To personalize these, take your gallery glass and write the child's name on the front.
Remember gallery glass will look lighter when applied and will darken up once dried.
*you can also apply vinyl or stickers if you don't want to write it on yourself

 Once dry, add ribbon, button's or other embellishments to it and add a hook to hang it.


Have fun, and be creative...

Christmas Series Day 3 - Redneck & Manly Ornamant




On the 3rd Day of Christmas
Santa brought to me

Shauna with "City 2 Country"

Her gift for us is a post on a
"Redneck/manly ornaments"




Redneck Ornament / Manly Ornament



 Here is an ornament perfect for that "redneck" in your life ...or maybe you have an outdoors man. It is manly, but yet cute enough to go on any Christmas tree. It has a hole in the back so when it is hanging...a Christmas light can go inside and make it glow.
I have these available in my Etsy shop here
I made it for my Lovie~ Kyle the wanna be mountain man!!!!

All you need is Fishing line ( I used heavier line), Fishing Bobber, 
Barrel Swivel, Ribbon & Bell. I did put a dab of hot glue
 on the back when I was placing the ribbon so it was easier to tie.



I never go totally basic...so I drilled a hole in the back with my dremmel so that a light on the Christmas tree can go in it to make it glow!!! It turned out so fun and super cute!!!

And the best part is that if you want to purchase any of
 these awesome ornaments you can find them at shauna's etsy shop....
