Santa's face with touches of glitter

These decoration of Santa won't be overnoticed with his red cap of bright red and beard embellished with white glitter.
I traced Santa's face on cardboard and painted in the details and put red  glitter on his suit and cap and white glitter on his beard.

I also put red glitter on the border and it will go on a plate holder or in a frame.



Teddy Bear with Candy cane

I am especially fond of this one with the bear and candy cane.  I did the same thing as with the Santa; I
traced a image of a teddy bear with a candy cane on cardboard and painted in the details and finished with touches of glitter and put lacquer on it.

I didn't want to put a hole to hang it because I might put it in a picture holder on a end table.




Santa with his list ornament

I love making Christmas ornaments especially when I can use recycling items such as cardboard; which I save for the many crafts I do. 

I printed out a picture of Santa and traced it on a  circle of cardboard and painted in the details and finished with red glitter on his suit and white glitter on his beard. I hole punched it and strung a red ribbon on top.

ANIMATED SNOWY SCENE

This cute ornament was made out of a powder drink container believe or not. What I did was to and cut a oval in the front with a exacto knive, keeping about 1 1/2 inches from each end. I added little ornaments such as snowmen, santa, and teddy bear. Then I sprinkled faux snow and cut a little scened from a greeting card that I glued at the back.

 I hot glued the miniature ornaments to the bottom of the inside of the container and I had a little wreath that I hot glued to the back wall of the container. With craft glue on the top of container, I sprinkled faux snow all over and attached a battery operated tealight at the end where the plastic lid is. I pushed the tealight in from the outside and glued in so the on/off switch would work.
