Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey
And some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
It’s that time of year where we all start thinking of the holidays so what better way to get your Holiday spirit going than a great Helmar Holiday Hop? Filled with so much Holiday cheer and some amazing projects featuring all the different Helmar Adhesives.
Hello everyone and welcome to my stop on the Helmar Holiday Hop. If you have been following along, you should have hopped here from Martha’s blog (I adore Miss Martha). If not, you just have to stop at the Helmar Blog and start from the beginning. There are goodies along the way and we don’t want you to miss a thing.
Today I'm sharing with you a Christmas project that I created using Helmar Gemstone Glue and Helmar V2 Vellum Spray. Both of these adhesives are perfect to use for glitter and today, my project shows you how to layer your glitters to create a FANTASTIC look.
To start off with, I painted the wooden stocking with Gesso for a primer. Then I applied Gemstone Glue with a foam brush to the boot part of the stocking. I sprinkle on red Glitter and when that was dry, I did the same thing to the top trim but used Green Glitter.
After the piece was COMPLETELY dry, I took my V2 Vellum Spray and a great mask from Crafters Workshop. I firmly pressed the mask onto the stocking, sprayed with V2, then removed the mask. I finished off the stocking with Silver glitter and a few wonderful embellishments. Here are a few photos for ya to swoon over...
Here is a close up so you can really see how amazing the Gemstone Glue and V2 Vellum Spray work together to create this layered glitter piece.
To decorate the stocking I used some great metal pieces from FabScraps. I cut the petals of the metal flower and bent them up to give more dimension.
And the tag is from Elle's Studio. I used the same Crafters Workshop mask on it to creat a fluid piece. I'm just smitten with this one!!!
Now wasn't that a TRIP!!??!! Thank you so much for stopping by today. Make sure you leave a comment on every blog along the hop. There are a few prizes out there and I'm offering up a Christmas goodie basket to one lucky commenter. Now head on back to the Helmar Blog to leave your final comment.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
Really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you.

Yes your stocking was a trip and a good trip at that! Love the 'print' that you created and as much as I am glitterphobic I may just have to make one of these! Maybe I can find a way to seal it to keep the glitter from coming off and onto me!
