Hello! Are you surviving all the hustle and bustle of the holidays? I can’t believe there are only 13shopping days left and then it will be Christmas!! Well, I don’t know about you but I am always looking for those quick and easy gifts when you need just a little something.
Today, I am going to share with you how you can create these very quick and easy vintage Christmas ornaments.
I selected images from the Crafty Secrets Merry Christmas Creative Scraps. I love the sheets of Creative Scraps from Crafty Secrets; they are filled with so many wonderful images.
Next, I created a framed edge with buttons. I have a jar full of white and ivory buttons and I used different shapes and sizes to create the frames. I used 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue from Beacon Adhesives to adhere the buttons.
I used a paper piercer to create holes and then threaded a piece of wire.
I twisted the wire to create hangers for the ornaments. After I had the hangers on I brushed over the buttons with glue and added the chunky glitter.
For an embellishment I punched out snowflakes using the Martha Stewart snowflake punch, inked them with Antique Linen Distress Ink from Ranger and added a Prima rhinestone in the center.
I made some crinkled seam binding using Waterfall and Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. To create the crinkle seam binding I used White Snug Hug Seam Binding and lightly misted it with the Glimmer Mist, then scrunch into a ball, put the ball into a baggie and tie it up tight with a twist tie and leave it sit over night. When you take the seam binding out the next day it might still be a little damp so fluff it up and set aside to air dry or heat set with a heat tool. Use the crinkled seam binding just as you would ribbon.
It is that time again, ATC Tuesday. We hope that everyone is enjoying their holiday season.

paper: American Crafts "be jolly"
Quick Kutz: "Santa Stop Here" & "Holiday die set (santa)"
Zip Dry by Beacon Adhesives
3D foam squares by 3L
Copic:YR01 Peach Puff
ribbon & button from stash
Tim Holtz distress ink Old Paper
door hanger $1 bin at Michaels
Step 1
adhere paper to door hanger, trim and sand. I use basic grey's precision file set, but sand paper will
work just as well. cut out the center circle, and sand. Now do the flip side of the door hanger. Even
though you won't see that side, beleieve me it will BUG you if you don't finish it as well.
Step 2
Ink around all the edges with distress ink. Add "present" to door hanger.
Step 3
Cut out all pieces of Quick Kutz dies being used. Color any pieces that need to be colored, in my case I
used a copic marker, in "peach puff," for Santa's face.
Step 4
Assemble all pieces as needed, and add to door hanger. Santa has the 3d foam pieces behind him.
Step 5
finishing touches. For this I just added buttons.
