Holiday Ornament Tutorial by Pinky

Welcome to the holiday craft season everyone, hello Clear Scraps friends, it is Pinky today with another fun Clear Scraps project, actually it is 2 projects that I have a step by step tutorial for!

Let me share how I created these 3 ornaments today, including a Shaker Ornament!

For the Shaker Ornament I used the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker X-MAS TREE.

I began with the acrylic window, so it had ample time to dry, I used the 6" Nordic Snowflake Mascil/Stencil and Art Gloss Gel to create the snowflakes on the cover, after removing the protective film.

I used a little bit of glitter sprinkled on and set aside to dry.

After that I took some patterned paper and covered the chipboard base using Beacon adhesive. Trimmed off the excess paper.

I coated the front chipboard with red glitter and sealed it using a spray sealant.

I layered the chipboard onto the base, then put a tsp of sequins in. 

Then after the acrylic cover dried, I assembled the entire shaker!

Now here is my "OOPS" moment, I should've inserted ribbon to hang it. I forgot. YES I forgot! haha

So don't forget that or you will be gluing ribbon onto the back. 

Now for the other two ornaments, these were so fun to make. 

I used the X-masSwirl Bulbs Chipboard Embellishments. Since they are two sided, I spray painted both side in a silver spray paint (Krylon).

After that I handprinted each side with a blue and create color and dusted with glitter. I set it aside to dry, then repeated on the other side. 

You can see I left the silver top. When all was dried I punched a hole into the top and used a pretty ribbon for the "hanger".
