With the holidays behind us now, I've begun taking down our tree. I have a few ornaments to share. I make an ornament every year theat features each of the kids. A way to "see" them growing up for Christmas. Here's what I did:
As I was putting things away, I accidentally cracked an ornament. This really upset my DS as it was one he gave me. So I couldn't just trash it. Instead, I repaired it with mod podged vintage book pages. Then I changed the color with alcohol ink, added German glass glitter, shredded vintage paper, a Prima flower, a broken vintage pendant and an embossed metal bird. I like the results!
Maybe you have the urge to alter an ornament too before packing eveything away! If you do there's a cool challenge over at Art de Scrap blog . Come join in! And......Happy New Year!!!
