One Ornament Two Ways!

Whew!  We are in the final lap before Christmas!  I was up late wrapping gifts for Cort's teachers, therapists, and bus drivers.  I also got my gifts ready for my 5th grade team and my students. I am such a last minute procrastinator!

Before chaos ensued in this household of mine, I actually managed to make several ornaments that I will be sharing over the next few days.  

I purchased two paper mache stars, but decided to go in two completely different directions with them. 

The first one is for my downstairs tree, which is done in bright colors.

I spray painted it with a lime green paint.  I brushed the entire star with glossy accents and sprinkled clear glass glitter over it.  I cut a snowflake using a Spellbinder's die.  I covered it with hot pink Stickles. 

I added a satin ribbon, lime green jingle bells, and some fun "sprigs."  

The second star was painted in a soft silver.  And believe it or not....don't faint.....I did NOT use glitter! GASP!

I used the Festive Poinsettia set from JustRite. It was stamped on vellum and cut out.  The pieces were layered and glued to the top of the star.  I added a bit of seam binding, and another glittery "sprig."  

I love how color choices can affect the overall mood of a project. 

Cort has her first choir concert today.  I can't attend, but her two grandma's will be there to cheer her on. 

Darn work. ;)

Tomorrow I am hosting a Christmas get together. 

So a bit of grocery shopping is in order....as well as a clean house.....and wrapped gifts......

Off I go!

Have a great weekend!
