Here is my take on the DIY Handmade Christmas Ornaments!

I started with a simple dollar store find plastic candy canes...

I gathered my Canvas Corp Brands supplies and hot glue gun-oh yes

put on some favorite Christmas music!

Let the creating begin....I have a Step by Step Tutorial in this long blog post!

But I wanted to share how easy and fun it is to create...enjoy!

I so love the natural canvas shabby torn look with the amazing

Petaloo flowers with the natures tiny pine cones...

Step by Step Tutorial

Step 1-Dollar Store Candy Canes & Canvas Corp Canvas

I tear small sections out of the natural canvas.

Step 2-Start by wrapping the canvas around the candy cane

using hot glue.

Whoola see how fun and easy it is to change (alter)

a simple candy cane...this opens up a world of creativity...

Step 3-Grab your favorite Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist!

I used Dazzling Diamonds to give the natural canvas a 

soften feel. 

Step 4-Start coloring your embellishments...

Here I am coloring in layers on Petaloo flowers and trims.

(coloring layers-start with your lightest glimmer to darkest).

Adding darker glimmer mist just running it around the edges

of the flowers this will bleed into the centers with 

a little water to help push the color in....fun technique.

I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist-

Abominable Snowman & Snowy Pines as well.

Step 5-Create leaves out of Canvas Corp's natural burlap.

I just cut little squares, started on one corner and cut out 

a leaf shape...all mine are different sizes. 

Step 6-Color your burlap leaves with Tattered Angels 

Glimmer Mist Partridge in a Pear Tree.

Step 7-Edge the burlap leaves with Tattered Angels

Glimmer Glam Glitter Paint-Lime Cordial.

Dry them and add a layer of gel mediumn on them

(this helps for the burlap not to unravel)

Step 8-Start to embellish I used another

dollar store find white snowflakes ornaments.

I cut them apart to tuck in around the flower cluster.

Skies the limits on embellishing! I used cheese cloth,

trims, flowers, jute, snowflake, tiny pine cones and

 for the finishing touch, Decor Art Snow-Tex...

Up close photos....enjoy!
