Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a Christmas wall hanging.  It's never too early to start getting ready for Christmas isn't it?

Have you seen the new mini shakers now available?  There are 14 new shakers and each is as cute as the next.

I've used the Mini Shaker – Gnome for my Christmas wall hanging.  Honestly, he is just as cute as a Santa, so it became a Christmas project!  
I can't wait to create another as a gnome!

The shaker comes with 4 individual chipboard pieces plus the clear panel that turns it into a shaker.
Just remember to remove the plastic film before assembling the shaker.

Paint the  layers with red and white paints to simulate Santa's hat and coat and black for his shoes. 
I then used modeling paste to give his mustache and beard texture and dimension.

I filled the cavities with white and red beads.

I created the wall hanging using assorted cardstock and pattern papers.

The shaker was added to the left side and a die cut Merry Christmas was added along side him.
A touch of color was added to Merry Christmas. 

Finally, a hole was punched in the top and ribbon was added so it could hang up for the holidays.

Thanks for stopping by.

Steph
