My Projects for the Ccraft Fair

I realized I didn't share with you all that I made for the craft fair. I wish I could say it was a HUGE success for me but it was just an OK one. What matters is I had fun making these projects & I got out & socialized :-)

Porcelain Ornaments

I bought these at Micheal's and they sold like hot cakes :-)

Supplies:

Stazon Ink

Fine Point Sharpie Markers

Krylon Clear Glaze

For the hand print ornaments I used craft ink & then embossed with clear embossing powder. For some reason the girl ornaments came off after I sprayed them but was successful with the boys. I had to re-do them using the purple stazon ink which i didn't LOVE, but oh well.

Photo Hangers

I'm was a little sad that these didn't sell but not THAT sad b/c I REALLY liked them. Now I get to hang the middle one up somewhere in my house :-)

All the supplies used to make these are retired except the ink, ribbon & twill tape

Supplies:

Chipboard Frames

DSP & Simply Scrappin' kit of your choice

In addition to making cute ornaments you could use them as a tag on a gift.

Supplies:

Glue Stick

Glue Dots

1/16" Hole Punch

Striped & Taffeta Ribbons

Altered Wooden Frames

I was very pleased with how these turned out & came home with 2 :-)

I purchased the frames at Michael's

Supplies & Tips

I sanded down the frames first then figured out which paper to use.

Then painted the frames using acrylic paint set aside to dry. You could choose a color that will coordinate with your paper. I used white paint & our re-inkers so that I would have a fairly coordinating color. You have to play around to get the color you want.

After the frames were dry I cut out the middle with my exacto knife.

Apply a thin layer of modge podge to your frame & place your paper on top, smooth out to get rid of any air bubbles.

To give it a finished look I then trimmed off any paper hanging off the edges & sanded them down.

Now you can decorate

Frames 1& 2 I used the new felt flurries (holiday mini pg18) & silver brads. I applied those with a dot of modge podge

Frame 3 I used the pretties kit (ib&c pg185)

Frame 4 I used our new taffeta ribbon (ib&c pg187)

Frames 5 & 6 I used flower fusion (ib&c pg182) & Rhinestone brads (ib&c pg185)

I also edged these frames with 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. I applied with crystal effects.
