YAY! Christmas is coming,
Kelly the goose is getting fat… {hee-hee}. Super excited to be sharing my first Christmas Tutorial of the season! Don’t you just {love} this time of year? I do! The extra dose of colors, smells, yummy goodness, colder temps, the crackling fires in the fireplace —- and CRAFTING! Today I’m going to share a project that includes some Martha Stewart Paints and supplies.
Anywho, let’s grab a few supplies and get this party started. For this project, I used a couple of Martha Stewart Paints, specifically the glass paints in Florentine Gold and Holly Berry. Other supplies from her line included adhesive stencils, a couple of daubers from her crafty dauber set, mini plate ornaments (from Hobby Lobby) and twine/ribbon . We’re officially ready to go!
I removed the ribbons since I didn’t want to fight with it while stenciling. I teetered between doing a monogram and gifting it. I enjoy gifting ornaments each year. However, I decided to use the leaf/twig stencil on these mini plates.
I then tried to approximate where I would want the stencil placement. I used a pencil to help sketch some lines for me to stay within. The stencil was adhesive, allowing me to move and reposition as necessary. I then went to work {smile}.
I continued to reposition the stencil within my pencil markings and daubing the paint on.
I then moved onto the other mini plate ornament using the Florentine Gold, a beautiful fine glitter gold paint that was a bit transparent. The variety of Martha Stewart Paints you have to choose from is fabulous! Let me insert here that it is a shear miracle as to how much I loved this color and paint. I am not a fan of glitter. Honestly, it gives me EXTREME anxiety. I just admired the gold color enough that I had to try it!
And I {loved} it!! It created a few challenges trying to capture it on camera, but where there’s a will there’s a way! Add the string, ribbon or twine and VOILA! A fabulous ornament, gift or embellishment.
So, what do you think? I think there mini plate ornaments are a-dorable!
Have you used any Martha Stewart Paints for your holiday projects?
