I am the opposite of crafty, although this morning Brad told me that I am always really happy when I do get my craft on, and I've just never noticed. Whatever. I felt like I was channeling my mother yesterday, who has been a painter for as long as I remember. And it was fun. I MADE THREE!
My friend Jess had an ornament making party. She's the one who had the starfish Santa idea. Lacking confidence, I only brought colored ornaments and paint pens, inspired by this video:
Quick Gilded Ornaments - Better Homes and Gardens
Still cool,though. And super easy. |
Jen brought a ribbon ornament idea that I didn't do because I was too busy happily making Santas. But still, the ornament is beautiful:
See? |
Then, using spare beads from the ribbon ornarment, Jen also made shell angels similar to this, but without the crown:
This one you can buy on Etsy |
Between the wine, the Christmas movie, good company, and my darling Santas, the entire night was a success. I'm looking forward to next year's party already.And honestly, if I can do it, you can. Promise.

ReplyDeleteI think there needs to be a redefinition of the word "crafty". Too many people claim this and very often it seems to be because they don't measure up to Martha Stewart.
Then again, I'm also the girl who does not believe that in order to be a "real" artist, I need to have one medium that I was taught at a school, so my opinions on the matter are probably a little skewed... ;)
PS~ ADORABLE SANTA!
Very nice!
