Christmas 2006 Tinfoil and Glass Ornaments



Fooling around with construction paper and tinfoil. What a kewl effect! All you need is some wax paper to trace your desired design. Then place it over the tinfoil and press over your design with a dull pencil. The ugly little Christmas ornament took a couple of months to arrive in Australia.

No Sew Summer Place Mat Purse

Image
Trendy, geeky, or just plain weird?  Did someone say place mat purse?  Creative Korner had a place mat purse swap in June.  I made mine from a round placemat.  The jewelled embellishment and handles were purchased at Michael's and a garage sale. Sing it ~ like a cowgirl, I got my glue gun by ma side, I'm wanted ~wanted~, dead or alive...  The sides of the purse were drawn in and glued, and the handles were sewn.  The nice thing about it is my purse didn't need a zipper or button to close.  Like it?  I really did, but had to mail it to my partner, hmph.

Deco-Mesh Christmas Wreath

Image
Merry Christmas everyone.  I'm making wreaths this year.  This one was put together and taken apart so many times, but I finally got some great advice from the guy in the floral department at Michael's.  My mesh was too wide (21") for my foam frame, which was 12".  He advised me to fold the mesh in half, which also helps create some bulk.  Lots of floral pins were used, and my glue gun was put to good use.  I am very happy with the result!  This picture doesn't do it justice though.  My next one will be a frosty blue and white, with accents.  What a great learning experience.  Many thanks go out to all of the great YouTube video tutorials as well!  You guys rock!
