Holiday Craft Faire Project

I put this piece together to teach at my church's Holiday Craft Faire. It's a hanging decoration.

Here was my class description.

"In this class you will be learning basic distressed painting techniques as you create a Christmas themed, three piece, hanging decoration. The fist piece is an oval that says Merry Christmas. You choose the second piece - either a Snow man or a Santa. The third piece is a snowflake. You will also be assembling all the pieces together using covered wire and embellishing with beads and bells. "



Rusty Bells

I found these rusty looking bells at Micheal's, and at 70% off I couldn't resist picking up a few.
I strung them up with some twine I had laying around the house, threw some beads on there, and finished it with a piece of ribbon I had saved from a box of Godiva chocolates.

Hidden Picture

On our last trip to Hawaii I had a mission - to compose my last name using pictures from our trip. I had to cheat on the "K" but other wise I think it came out great! I'm especially pleased with the "A" as it was taken by a random tour guide who had no knowledge of my mission. He just happened to take a perfect "A" picture for me. Thanks random tour guide!
