Ruby Red Slippers

A fun little Christmas project that I was working on today. I found the awesome shoe ornaments at Ben Franklin Crafts and knew I had to make some Dorothy slippers for my Wizard of Oz tree. The Glitter It glue is a very thin pourable glue that coats the whole inside of the ornament and then you add the glitter. SO easy! I would suggest letting it all dry overnight though. I was overly anxious to get the ornament hook back in and scratched off the glitter on two of the ornaments. What's sweet about these ornaments is that the glitter is all on the inside and contained so it won't be getting all over the place.

More french fry gift boxes

The template for these french fry boxes is in yesterday's post. They are a snap to put together so I made an assortment of holiday and all occasion ones to have on hand.

All supplies are Stampin' Up: Stylin Snowfolk stamp set, Whisper White cardstock, Baja ink with Dazzling Details on the snowflakes. The template for the french fry box can be found here at Creating Keepsakes.

Kusudama ornament

Here is another technique I've been wanting to try called Kusudama.There is a nice tutorial here on Folding Trees to take you through it, they have lots of wonderful paper folding projects there. Retired Stampin' Up Halloween paper and antique brad were used here.

step by step ornament

For the center sentiment I used the inside plastic circle from a spool of ribbon. I adhered the sentiment that was punched from a 1 1/4" and a 1 3/8" circle punch. This gave this part of the piece the depth that it needed to stand out above the ornament pieces. (I don't throw anything away!) Hope the step by step visual helps a bit. For the tulle I cut between each scallop and just rolled the piece into a fan-like section and inserted it between each small ornament framelit with large glue dots. When the whole thing was finished I just pulled the tulle pieces up between each section and fluffed them up a bit.
