I wish to let in a small hand-crafted ornamentation as embellishment to vacation gifts . I believe that packaging is important to the overall gift - pass on experience . Wrapping is where the magic begins . The prediction of what lie down beneath glittering wrap and ribbon lend to the overall delight of get the endowment . It increases the fun in cave in the gift too , for those of us who love to decorate .
A tree filled up with pretty present with stamped newspaper publisher , hand-crafted medal , and the littleje ne sais quoiof a soupy ornament blows away dollar - store natural endowment bags . Plus , when the talent is unpacked , the wrapper can be recycle , the ribbons added to your crafting collecting and the ornament will be hang on the tree for years to come .
It almost seems there is no need for a talent inside ! No hold , I see I have gone too far ! Let ’s just say that the publicity becomes part of the gift and adds to the experience .
For this year ’s gift tags I paint wood snowflake ornaments with chalkboard blusher . Here is how to make your own .
Materials
Make it !
lie the ornaments out on a protected open such as a flatten cardboard box seat . I prefer composition board over a driblet textile because if the brightness , small ornamentation stick to the fall textile , they will tear it up when you seek to lift them , and this will shamble around the other ornaments .
Stir / mix blackboard key grant to directions and swarm some onto a formative lid . Roll the roller brush through to employ it and roll rouge onto one side of the decoration . Use the small foam skirmish to smoothen out the surface and arrange to dry .
Paint two - three coats on each side of the ornament , allowing it to completely dry between coats .
I used regular blackboard key as well as chalk paint for furniture . For the chalk paint , you will need to give the ornament a prompt buffer with very fine ( 0000 ) steel woolen before using .
Draw on the decoration with chalk as you would a chalkboard , and erase with a ironic cloth . If you prefer no Methedrine residue on the ornament after wipe out , just wipe with a damp cloth and it will be back to the original color .
Here are some of the room I have used the ornaments so far . I ’m certain that there will be many more as they are just so various !
Let ’s not bury this other theme for gift tag , made fromrecycled Christmas bill !
