Xmas ornaments tutorial

Hello, today I have a tutorial for you of making Christmas ornaments.

Supply list:

Paper Julefryd (Englesang, Tradisjon and Forventninger)

Tim Holtz Sizzix paper rosette die

Distress Ink (vintage photo)

Twinklets Diamond Dust

Ranger Ice Stickles (crystal ice)

Folkart paint Metallic (pure gold)

Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam (copper kettle)

Jute packaging twine

Cropadile to make holes

Webster Pages Sparkler

Prima Pebbles


So here we go!



First I used my Quickutz Revolution with large plates to cut the strips of paper



This die will give you one strip and one circle


For the back you'll need another circle but since you won't see it, you can punch or cut that from any kind of left over.



With Glossy Accents (or any fast drying, colorless glue) you glue the ends together after folding the strip.

Put some glue dots on the punched out circle for the back and press the strip in to a rosette

The add some Glossy Accents to the front in and around the hole.

Then press the good circle on top and hold it down till it's dry
(that's why you need fast drying glue, lol!)

You can vary with your colors, mix and match those rosettes!

I've used different techniques to alter the rosettes a bit, one with Distress Ink and one with Glimmer Glam. The Glam make the rosette a bit more stiff. Don't forget to shake your bottle very well!!

For the others I used Stickles, gold paint and Diamond Dust.

With the Cropadile I made some holes and used the twine so I can hang them in the tree.
Last but not least I put some Pebbles on top.


Hope you enjoyed this, if you have questions feel free to email me.
Thank you for looking,

Hugs
Mieke
