Glittery Fun!

Bonjour Mes Amis!

Ok, I am not one who likes rushing the Christmas season. It seems that it comes earlier and earlier each year, doesn't it?

So what have I been doing, but creating glittery Christmas ornaments!

I know, I know, but I just couldn't help myself!

 A few weeks ago I picked up a few paper mache star ornaments from Hobby Lobby, not sure exactly how I would use them. I decided to give them a glitter French twist!

So I pulled out bits of this and that, all things that I happened to have on hand.

I started by decoupaging copies of vintage French Christmas sheet music

(found at the Graphics Fairy) to the stars.  Then the fun really began!

I used both clear glass glitter as well as regular iridescent glitter to cover the stars.

 I "aged" this gorgeous silver tinsel trim with dark brown ink to give it a more vintage feel.

 Then I created a bunch of little "Joyeux Noel"

(French for "Merry Christmas") and mounted on heavy chipboard.  Also glittered, of course!

Love!

 I had a bunch of pretty silver glitter snowflakes left over from last year, which were perfect for this project.

 I combined them all together, along with some wonderfully crinkly cream seam binding, and this is what I came up with!

 The glitter isn't showing up well in the photos, but they are nice and sparkly!

I think they will look so pretty hung from the tree, and really will glisten in the lights!

 They were so fun to make, I want to create some more!

 Happy creating!
