ornament pics

My wife is a scrapbooker, so she gets it from scrapbooking stores, or arts and crafts stores like Michaels or AC Moore, or JoAnn Fabrics...

We used the self adhesive to save time, you could use any vellum or paper...jsut glue it in place on one side, trim it, and glue it to the other side...

Do you think there's an article in it?

BTW, for those of you who got last year's ornaments <GRIN>, Stephanie used a "Shaving Cream" technique on them (to get the random colors). You spray out a pile of shaving cream, add a few drops of dye-based colored ink, stir up the pile until you have streaks of color in the white shaving cream.

Press the pieces into the shaving cream, pull them out, clean the shaving cream off, and you are left with the random colors.

Bob, Your wife sounds very innovative.

Would someone please post a pic of Bob's ornament from last year.

That shaving foam technique sounds fascinating - I'd try it if I had any shaving foam ..lol Maybe your wife should be writing some articles Bob ...

A few points to remember on multiple layer ornaments.
My original thought and design was 5 layers.
for 16 ornaments that is 80 pieces. Not bad because you can stack cut.

Mailing presents its own issues. After a certain thickness the cost goes up.
If I could have found 1/16 ply locally that would have made the finished project thinner.

I opted for 3 layers instead of 5.

Don't try shaving gel. at my parents 50th I used shaving gel on their car to draw a heart and put in their initials. Looked really good.


Even after the foam was gone.


It ate the paint

That foam technique sounds like marbling in a way. That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing Bob.

I've read suggestions to use inexpensive shaving cream as a handcleaner...

My wife, who is much more organized than I, has three notebooks (complete with indexes) of scrapbooking techniques that could be used for scrolling...

Hmmm...

Mine are all packed away, but don't believe it was "finished" with either of those methods......

THANK YOU for posting the pictures Robert! Lots of nice looking ornaments from the group!!!!!!!
