This one was simple. All I did was put some ribbon inside the ornament and some stickers on the outside of it.

 

 

Second Day of Christmas

Second Day of Christmas Craft

Making a white plaster ornament glittery for Christmas

Items I used:

mod podge

glitter

plaster ornament

I covered the areas I wanted green, with a layer of pod podge then glitter.

I added glitter to to other spots on the ornament and let it dry in between colors.

I used a few different colors of glitter.

I let it dry and then added a ribbon.

You can find these plaster ornaments in most stores that sell crafts.
I got these at walmart. They have lots of different ones.
You can even add puffy paint to it to add more dimension.



Day 22

I love this one! I used an old gourd from Halloween. I covered it in some gold glitter and used a ribbon to hang it. I would have liked to add something to it but nothing looked right. So I left it plain. I also added some silver glitter to the stem.

And I wanted to share a picture of Alessa's Christmas tree. It has butterflies, dragonflies, and hummingbirds on it.

Day 21

Day 21 I used a potpourri ball and covered it with my pink chunky glitter. The ball is from walmart. 

There's not a lot to say tonight. My hubby is in the hospital and I'm tired. We have an appointment at the heart Dr. tomorrow morning. Not sure how Christmas is going to go. Got bills to pay. Worried about presents for everyone or lack there of.

Day 20

Day 20

I made a music themed ornament.

I started with my plastic ornament. I cut up some scrap paper I had that was music themed.

I covered the ornament with the pieces of paper.

After letting it dry I put a layer of polyurethane on it to seal it. 

.

After it was dry I used some brown paint to give it an antique look. 

And for the final step I covered it with silver glitter paint to give it a little sparkle.

I cant believe its only 5 days until Christmas. I still have to do Christmas Shopping.

Rosie is showing a significant amount of hearing loss in one of her ears. For now they are just going to monitor it in speech therapy and see what happens. 

The story of being a preemie is "we will wait and see" so I guess we will wait and see.

Day 19

For day 19 ornament I also used pearl powder on the inside. Then on the outside I made a swirl of green glitter to add some dimension to this ornament. Simple and cute, with red and green.

Tomorrow we have a big day in another town for a hearing test for Rosie. More on that tomorrow. Also Christmas shopping is in order. We don't have any shopping places besides Walmart in our town. So we are taking advantage of our Dr. trip.

Day 18

For day 18 ornament i used my pearl-ex powder. Blue to be exact. I poured it inside the ornament and shook it around until it covered the whole inside of the ornament. Its very pretty and very simple. Its gives off a shimmer that the picture just cant capture.

Day 17

Today I spent time with my family so I did an easy ornament. Pink chunky glitter. I got the glitter at the Dollar Store. They have lots of colors and shapes of glitter to use. I got some more clear glass ornaments so I'm going to have fun with those. I also need to get back to doing my name pictures. I have a list I need to get done. 

Day 16

For  day 16 ornament

 I covered the ornament in fabric scraps and modge podge.

 Then I covered it with brush on glitter paint.

 Because I cant make anything without using glitter for some reason. Go figure.

Christmas is getting close. No snow for us so far. I don't like snow so I don't mind! I do like to decorate for the holiday though. I'm not fancy like some people. The week leading up to Christmas is always busy. My Mom is coming to visit this weekend. So we are all getting together for Christmas dinner. Then next friday its back to the heart Dr. for my husband, who is having the same problems he had before. They ended up putting a stent in his heart last time. 

Day 15

Only 10 days until Christmas. That means only 10 more ornaments. It also means only 9 shopping days. Yikes! I'm never ready for Christmas. I hope to get my shopping done this weekend. 

Day 15 ornament was another plastic ornament which I covered in silver chunky glitter. Then I added some sequins (because I have lots).  

Day 14

Wow 11 more day until Christmas. I can't believe it. This year went by so fast. I hope 2012 is a good year for everyone! 

For day 14 I used a plastic ornament and green glitter. After it dried I put a ribbon on it and then a plastic snowflake. 

Day 13

Day 13 ornament

Its amazing what you can do with a little glue some red glitter and some bling!

Day 12

Steampunk ornament

I started today's project with a gold plastic ornament

and some steampunk gears 

I used some super glue to attach the gears to the ornament

I added coiled wire in different spots

I also added some chain to a few different areas

I also hung some keys off of the chains

Day 11

Day 11

In the glass ball I put a little bit of peat moss and some ribbon flowers. Then I added a little plastic faerie (who will probably be stuck in the glass ball now).  This was my last glass ball, if I see some more I will buy them because I like them better than the plastic cheap ones. 

So this week I will have to be more creative. Maybe. 

I had my candle lit tonight to honor all babies and children who have left to soon. This is the fourth year for me. After four years I still cant find the words. 

Day 10

Day 10
I used a cheap plastic ornament that I got at Walmart, I covered it with glue then epsom salts with some glitter mixed in. This was one of the easiest ones, besides the glitter ones. I have one more glass ornament idea one to come up with then I only have the walmart ones left.
Tomorrow is the Worldwide Candle Lighting , there is some good information on their site.

Day 9

 For Day 9 ornament I used a glass ball again (which are all gone now)

I took some decorative Christmas rope and some glitter and mixed it around a little so the 

glitter was all around the rope. I also tied a ribbon to the top of it. 

And there you have it day 9 and another easy ornament. 

Day 8

For day 8 I used a premade maple leaf, some moss and some twigs. I put it in the blass ball for a woodsy ornament.

I like making these easy ornaments and have been getting my ideas off pinterest. If you need an invite just send me an e-mail.

Day 7

For day 7 I used some gold and silver metallic paint. I put a few drops of each color inside the clear ball and then I just mixed it around until the whole inside was covered.

Day 6

Day 6 ornament I used a glass bulb and some of those plant gel beads.

Day 5

Day 5 ornament is also a clear glass one. I put a gem sticker on the outside and on the inside I put a plain white feather. Another simple to make ornament especially if you have plenty of scrapbook stuff lying around like I do.

I like this one too. I cant wait to find some sort of little tree for them all. I will look for an idea tonight on pinterest.
