| DIY Lantern Ornaments |
Hi friends it feels like I have been away from crafting and blogging since ages when actually it has been just a month....life had dealt quite a few blows on several fronts and I was mentally completely drained out.
My creativity is at an all time low right now but I had to make my DT project for Maureen's Rudolph Day Challenge and so do forgive the simplicity of this project.
 |
| Foam Crafts |
I made Christmas Lanterns using the
Tim Holtz Rustic Lanterns die using chipboard and glitter foam . The gorgeous magnolia is my favorite and was made using the
Spellbinders Magnolia die.
 |
| Christmas Decoration |
I used glitter foam as it gives so much dimension and is lightweight too.
 |
| DIY Christmas Lanterns |
Festive Christmas colors always cheer me up and making this project was actually quite therapeutic for me!! It is at times like these when one truly appreciates the difference a hobby can make to your life!
 |
| DIY Christmas Decorations |
The white lantern is very simple but I love the cute mushrooms and the way the golden light bulb look!
 |
| DIY Festive Decorations |
I made the bulb portion of the lanterns using shiny golden holographic paper I had picked up from my local stationary shop...it shimmers so prettily when light falls on it.
 |
| Easy Christmas Decoation |
The berries are pollen and the glitter foam pine leaves were cut using a Poppy Stamps die.
 |
| Handmade Festive Decorations |
These lanterns would work as festive home decorations or tags or even as a card front!
I hope you like this simple idea.
Don't forget to participate in the
Rudolph Day Challenge !
Supplies : Dies : Sizzix Tim Holtz Rustic Lantern ,Poppy Stamps Pine Boughs , Spellbinders Magnolia , Cheery Lynn Rose Leaf Strip
These are simple? No, there're fabulous! You chose which mediums and embellishments go together which they all do brilliantly so these weren't five minute jobs. I love the glittery foam you've used on them and the cute embellishments especially the mushrooms, berries and the beautiful magnolia. So don't apologize as these are fantastic creations. I hope things going on in your life improve quickly. Sending you a big hug and a thank you for your comment on my blog, I'm glad I make you smile. Take care, Debra x
