Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello! Jennifer here to share some easy ornaments I created using two of the Christmas themed Mini Shaker Shapes! I  used the same technique on both Shakers which I  will share with you!

First up is the new Snow Globe Mini Shaker! I  absolutely love this shape as you can create a Christmas or winter themed Shaker. 

Each Mini Shaker comes with 5 pieces: a chipboard base, three chipboard frames, and an acrylic piece.  Here, I  painted my top chipboard frame and the outside edges of the remaining chipboard with chalk paint in red.  

Next, using Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive, I  affixed my patterned paper to the top portion of the chipboard base. I  used scissors and a sanding tool to remove any excess paper. 

Again using my Beacon Adhesive, I   adhered two of my chipboard frames together and affixed it on top of the base. 

From my stash, I  placed coordinating sequins in the center of my shaker. I  then applied my adhesive around the edges of the chipboard frame followed by affixing my acrylic.  Lastly, I  adhered the top chipboard frame.

To accent, I  adhered die cut embellishments to the bottom portion of the shaker.

I used the Present Mini Shaker to create my second ornament which I  backed with red gingham patterned paper.  

For this ornament, I  used white chalk paint on the chipboard frames and base. As I  mentioned before, I  used the same technique on this as I did on the first.

For both ornaments, I  affixed twine to the back to create a hanger as well as added a small swatch of ribbon.  For this particular ornament, I   tied in a metal charm for accent. 

Thank you for stopping by the blog today!  I  hope this inspires you to create with the Clear Scraps Mini Shakers! Have a great day!
