So Merry Christmas!! I know it is a little late but I had last minute family in from out of town. I have been playing hostess and not much of anything else. I really wanted to get these last few thing posted before Christmas but I am only one person. :( I should have asked Santa for an extra pair of hands.
I finally finished our 2011 Family Ornament!!! I did put our names on our hats and our dogs names on the small snowballs. What do you think? I love them and can't wait to make more. I used E6000 glue to attach all my snow people together. Now the clay doesn't bake up white so I did have to do a good coat of white paint over the bodies before I painted everything else. For great tips on making clay ornaments check out this crafty mama's blog
We also let the boys make hand print ornaments. I love them!!! I will cherish these forever. I painted them white and painted the hand prints with glitter paint. On the back I wrote their names, the date, and what they asked for from Santa.
Now this ornament is near and dear to my heart. It is still unfinished because I still unsure of the wording. This is my thumb print and Mr. Wonderful's thumbprint. I painted it white and then painted my little birds with the thumb print as the body. Isn't it so cute?!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year!!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you Hayley!!
ReplyDeleteOk ...I don't know where the rest of my comment to hayley went but ...The birdies were completely unplanned. I had a little clay left over and I wanted one just for us. I got our thumb prints and just figured I would figure it out. As soon as they came out of the oven I looked down and could see love birds and thought how perfect....Don't you love when things fall into place like that.
