Christmas Wreath with Ornaments and Glitter!

Today I want to share with you my Christmas Wreath for this year. It is a take on the Christmas Bulb Wreath, and glitter of course.

I have made a bulb wreath, and homemade glittered ornaments but I hadn't made a glittered ornament wreath. So now is the perfect time!

Products used:
#280 Lime Rind, Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
#128 Quark, Ultrafine Opaque Hologram
#291 Fire Engine, Ultrafine Opaque
#175 Retro Red, Ultrafine Pearlescent
#84 Shiney Si, Ultrafine Opaque
#282 Night Vision, Ultrafine Opaque
Pledge Future Shine Floor Cleaner
Clear Glass Ornaments
Wire wreath
Hot Glue
Ribbon
Small funnel or paper funnel

To start you need to make the ornaments, and they are super simple.

I started with the clear ornaments. I took off the top, squirted in the floor cleaner, swished it around, and dumped it out.

Then I took a small funnel and poured in the glitter. I shook it around until the entire inside of the ornament was covered in glitter, then dumped out the excess glitter.

I repeated this step of all 24 large ornaments. I used six different colors; two greens (Lime Rind, Quark), two reds (Fire Engine, Retro Red), and two silvers (Shiney Si, Night Vision).

After the ornaments were finished, I hot glued them to them to the wire wreath and wrapped with ribbon.

 

I hope you enjoyed this fun project I made, be sure to stop by my blog, oneheartscrapper, to see how the different kinds of glitter look in each of the bulbs! I was totally surprised on how some of them turned out, they look AWESOME!

Happy Glittering!

Glitzy Paper Wreath with Cherie

There is something fun about playing with paper, glue and glitter.

Today my project involves all three.

I wanted to make a wreath for inside my house, as a wall statement. Which I plan on hanging in my craft room.

Products Used:
Designer Dries Clear Adhesive
Art Glitter #27 Navy Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
Art Glitter #60 Sahara Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
Ultrafine Metal Tip
Tombow Stamp Runner Dot Adhesive
Metal Hoop
Paper, Any kind you want! I used Authentique Genuine Collection
Paintbrush
Twine


I started by taking a gold ring that I purchased at a local craft store. When I was there I found perfect paper for the project as well!

I ending up cutting 6"x6" paper into 6" by 1/2" strips. I picked a few different patterned paper and cut them until I had a good pile on the table. You can always cut more.

I took a strip of paper and wrapped one end of it around the metal hoop. Using the Tombow Stamp Runner Dot Adhesive, I then stamped a dot a glue on the end of the strip and adhered it to itself.

I did this all the way around the hoop until there was no room to add another.

I added a little twine loop to what I would consider the top, and then added more strips. This time I put them on the back of the wreath. I continued to use the Tombow Stamp Runner Dot Adhesive and put a dot of adhesive at the top of each strip and placed it on the edge of the ring between two of the already attached strips.

I completed the circle so it looked nice and full.

Next I used Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and brushed the glue onto each end. I started by using the Navy glitter on all the longer pieces, and the Sahara glitter on the shorter pieces.

I wanted to add some more glitz to it, so I drizzled Designer Dries Clear Adhesive up and down the strips of paper and around the ring using the Art Glitter Ultrafine Metal Tip, then sprinkled on the glitter!

 A beautiful glitzy paper wreath!

I hope you enjoyed my project today. You could also do this with different holiday papers to celebrate each season or special occasions!
