I make the favors for the holiday parties for my daughter's class. This year I decided to do the glittered ornaments that have been going around for the past couple of years. Then I saw a video that Momo made. She did the glittered ornaments & decorated them to look like snowmen. I just loved the idea & thought that the kids would enjoy them too.
The way I made the faces was: For the charcoal eyes & mouth, I used black Liquid Embossing. I painted on the carrot nose with acrylic paint. Then to protect the nose & give it some shine & dimension, I added some Aleen's Paper Glaze over it.
I also used a pipe cleaner for the loop to hang it on the tree.
To glitter the inside of the ornament, I used the Pledge with Future Shine and Martha Stewart Fine Crystal Glitter. - I JUST LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!
I also had to make the gift bags for the ornaments. I used the 3 1/4 x6 3/4 bags from Michaels. For the snowman (I just thought that since i was giving a snowman ornament, that it was cute to use the snowman holding an ornament. - Ha Ha - I'm so easily amused!! LOL) I used the Jolly Holidays cart.
For the topper I scored a 2 x 3 1/4 piece of cardstock in half. Stamped Happy Holidays (Recollection Stamp Set: Sugar & Spice). On the back side we just wrote From: Alexis. I folded down the top inch of the bag & stapled it shut. Then adhered the topper to the folded flap of the bag.
I used my Gypsy and Cricut to design & create the gift bag part of this project.
Thanks for looking. Questions & comments are always welcomed. Lori
