10:00:00 AM
I’m super excited to take part in the Silhouette Challenge again this month with these beautiful snowflake monogrammed ornaments. We've got quite the lineup this month, and as an added bonus, we have an awesome giveaway! Stay tuned for the end of the post to enter the giveaway...for $155 at Amazon!
Anybody else looking for an easy gift for a teacher, coach, or coworker?
I've always found that simple yet beautiful Christmas ornaments are well received. I've seen some monogrammed ornaments around but they're so simple to make, and the personalized touch makes them extra special. I’m going to be giving this as a gift for my oldest child’s teacher. This project literally takes minutes (minus drying time), uses scraps of vinyl, and is very inexpensive.
Here’s what you need for this project:
Clear fillable ornaments. I used 1 cube ornament and one sphere ornament.
Craft paint in white and gold
Vinyl scraps and something to cut them (I used my Silhouette Portrait, of course!)
Mod Podge Ultra Glitter
Glitter
First, remove the tops of your ornaments and fill them with craft paint in the colors of your choice. Swirl it around until you have good coverage and then turn the ornaments upside down . Allow to dry and replace the tops of the ornaments
Then, find a font for the monogram that you like and a pattern. I found the snowflakes on the Silhouette online store in a set of labels. I ungrouped the design so I could just use the snowflakes.
And then I replicated the design to the amount of snowflakes I needed.
Once I sent the file to my Silhouette, all I needed to do was weed out the images
And then, just apply the vinyl in a way pleasing to me. The round ornament just received a random scattering of gold snowflakes to contrast with the white paint. The cube ornament received a monogram in white vinyl and a subtle gold snowflake for a gold-on-gold effect.
To add a subtle glitter, apply Ultra Glitter Mod Podge on the ornament tops and then sprinkle on more glitter....because what else does gold ornaments need? More glitter, of course!
And really, that's it! A simple and yet elegant set of ornaments, ready for the tree or for a gift!
Like I mentioned before, I did this as part of the Silhouette Challenge, a really inspiring group of folks who come up with great projects month after month.
