more Christmas making....






I discovered that its really easy to alter bought Christmas decorations ....
 
I bought these little heart decs , they were gold and purple and then I found some cool glitter birds...
 
 
no before pics sorry....
 
 
 
I simply pulled the caps of the hearts and cut the cord on the birds and then sprayed with white paint ... any paint would do....
 
 
 
then I covered them with little scraps of napkin [ I layer]  and tissue....using gel medium [or modge podge would do]
 
.....a bit of kindy glitz, blinged them up ....:)
 
 
the craft girls got their hearts stuck to their enves with  gorgeous gold washi tape from Blue Bazaar
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
as the the birdies were foam underneath, it was easy to stab a  hole in back and hot glue a wire hanger  in.....
 
 
 then I packaged the birdies into gelli enevelopes for the MMgirls....
 
 
 
such a great way to use your gelli papers and any excuse to use some more washi :)
