"Shabby-GLAM"?? Why, yes!
I LOVE anything sparky, and I LOVE shabby-chic...so I created these "Shabby-Glamorous" tree ornaments. They were so easy to make, a true "tutorial" is not necessary. So I made a quick pic collage below of what I did to create these extremely frugal and simple~to~make ornaments.
Here is what you will need:
- Small Wooden Laser-Cut Ornament Frames from Micheals {Located in the ornament isle in the craft section of the store}
- Tiny Wooden Letters-I purchased mine from Hobby Lobby, they came in a bag
- Glitter-I like using the real big chunky glitter, instead of fine glitter
- Craft Paint
- Glue
- Scrapbook paper-This is the PERFECT time to use all those scraps you can't let go of...or am I the only one who hoards scraps??
- I glittered my ornaments by spraying my letters with spray adhesive, dipped them in the glitter then coated them with Mod Podge.
- I tried to stain my frames, but the color wasn't dark enough so I ended up painting them with a dark grey.
- I then lightly painted over the grey with white, so the grey would show through and give it that "antiqued" shabby look.
- Cut out my scrapbook paper of choice, glued it to the back and then glued on my letters.
And THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! You now have yourselves some Shabby-Chic, Glammed-up Monogram Ornaments!
These would be a great addition to any gift by using it as a gift tag, or gifts for co-workers, friends, family, etc. Did I mention, these unfinished ornaments cost less than $1 each??? {they were on sale for 40% off!!}The possibilities are endless:) What scrapbook paper design would you choose? Hmmm, chevron would be AWESOME!! Have fun making your ornaments!
