Here's mine - Santa's Belly Ornament
To make this, you'll need:
- square glass ornaments
- black paint
- white puffy paint
- strips of red cardstock (mine are about 1/4"x4")
Coil the strips of paper around something thin - I wrapped mine around the end of a paint brush handle.
After making each coil, put them in the ornament - I didn't count how many I coiled, but once you've filled it up, you're good :)
Then, paint a black stripe around the center of the ornament (santa's belt). Once that's dry, use the puffy paint to draw a square (belt buckle) around the belt.
Finish it off with ribbon to hang it up.
I absolutely love it!!! Unique and fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteSOOOO pretty! My kids always make my mom ornaments for her tree and she is a Santa fan! These are MUST do's for us. Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHey Serena I strongly think you should open your artcraft store!
ReplyDeleteI just have a question about the car notebook. How do you put the ribbon (I think it is ribbon) on the Velcro and the ribbon on the back to make it stay? I also really like this idea. I really like it and can't wait to try.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cute idea, I love it!
ReplyDeleteA really different idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. That is so cute. Where did you get the square ornaments?
ReplyDeleteI found the square ornaments at Ben Franklin Crafts
ReplyDeleteHow cute :) I made a similar ornament last year where I used a red ball ornie, black felt and a gold chenille stem for the belt buckle. Love your coils, great idea ;)
