A Christmas Bauble or Two

It is the weekend, and with only a few days left until Christmas, It is time to start prioritizing. Will the baking get done? Don't think so, but that is alright with my moms amazing baking waiting for us back home. YUMMO!!!! The wrapping is on the list for today, as is a few creative projects that need to get done before we leave.

Today I'm sharing with you my last 2 projects for December using Tattered Angels products on glass. These little baubles were so much fun to create and something that the children can be a part of. The first one I used Deep Plum Glimmer Mist and glitter. First, I sprayed some Helmar V2 Vellum Adhesive into the glass ornament so that the Glimmer Mist and glitter would stick a bit better.  I'm quite happy with how this one turned out.


Next i decided to do a little painting on the outside of a glass ornament as well as the inside. For this one, I used Big Apple Glimmer Glam and red glitter on the inside of the ball and Mermaid Glimmer Glam on the outside. 3 coats with each, then it was time to add snow, but how was I going to achieve that. Here is my secret.... Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots added onto the ornament using a stipple brush. Once it was completely dry, I then added a little Stickles in Picket Fence to get the snow. Easy Peasy I tell ya.



Try you hand at creating your very own glass ornaments for the tree using Tattered Angels products. They are so versatile and vibrant. Hope you are all staying warm today. Until next time
