Project - Jewelry organizer for Mom

Again, now that Christmas is over, I can share this project I made for my dearest MOM!

Supplies needed:

Photo frame

modge podge

Wire mesh

Patterned paper (text weight works best)

Cup hooks

Stapler

Hanger

Embellishments

Instructions:

1. I took a wooden photo frame and removed the glass and backing from

it.

2. Using text weight patterned paper with a white core, tear strips of paper, allowing the white core to be visible.

3. Cover back of each piece of torn paper with modge podge and adhere to frame, covering the front and wrapping around to the back. Don't worry about what the back looks like right now. Repeat process until the entire front of frame is covered with paper. Let dry.

4. Ink edges of inside and outside of frame, just to give it a more finished, yet shabbyish look.

5. Using either the insert OR glass (that you previously

removed) as a template and cut a piece of wire mesh (screen door type mesh, can buy at Home Depot or similar) about 1 inch larger than the template.

6. Flip your frame over, so that back side is facing up. Staple the mesh onto the back of the frame.

7. Now you can cut paper to cover the backside of the frame and over the edges of the mesh (so it won't scrape you or the wall). Adhere to the back, let dry.

8. Flip frame back over to the front and use a ruler and pencil to mark where you want your cup hooks to go. I put them every 1 inch, but I put some about an inch from the upper edge and some about an inch from the lower edge - just for variety. I also put two on each side of the frame, one in each upper corner and one half way down each side of the frame. If your frame is hard wood, you may need to use a drill to make starter holes for you to work with.

9. Now you can embellish your frame as desired, in my example, I had found some adorable 3D butterflies that matched perfectly to my papers. Just make sure to put your embellishments where they won't get in the way of the jewelry hanging on the organizer.

10. Last step is to attach a hanger on the back for hanging on the wall!

Jewelry set - Tiger eye (Red/Browns)

The photo does not do this set justice! This is such a sparkly shiny set so nicely matched with the tiger eye. I am thinking this set will work out perfectly with the blouse I am planning on wearing to the Christmas party this year. This extra shiny jewelry should give just the right amount of sparkle to my outfit!

Project - Versailles "ATC Display"

Here is another fabulous project from ClubScrap - had to wait until after Christmas to share - as I sent it to my MIL for Christmas and didn't wanna spoil the surprise - just in case she wondered over to my blog for a look-see...

We received this kit - that created the 9 compartment ATC Display project, for hanging on the wall - in our 2011 Versailles Club Stamp kit. I decided that the photos from our lil impromptu photo shoot around the very vibrant neighborhood would go nicely into this project for a gift. I embellished the display unit with stamped and punched out 'leaves' (all folded and adhered on popdots to give a real 3D look) using all of the gorgeous autumn colors from the "Comfort Zone" kit.

Merry Christmas to one and all - I certainly hope you all enjoy the season and spend quality time with loved ones.

This here is my Christmas card, using ClubScrap's "Comfort Zone" Digital kit. I just adored the digital extras in this kit, the flowers are wonderful!

Loopy Christmas Ornament

Here is a pretty simple ornament that the boys and I made up this year. I used some red patterned and green patterned papers from previous years retreat kits from ClubScrap.

Very simple project but be sure and have some paper clips handy to hold pieces together while the glue is drying.

Instructions:

Cut green pieces 5.5 in long and 1 inch wide. Red ones can be shorter, like maybe 4 inches. This doesn't have to be precise. Our ornament turned out fairly large, so if you want it smaller, cut your pieces shorter.

Fold a loop into each of the green pieces and adhere the two ends together. Now you could use roller

adhesive if you like, but i wanted to ensure it didn't fall apart in storage, so I used liquid adhesive for mine. In my case I used small clips to hold them together while drying.

Once you have all the green ones folded and adhered, and dried - then fold the red ones, put adhesive on both sides of the ends of both red flaps and adhere in between two green ones, again hold with a clip. Once those - sets of green/red/green dry - adhere all the sets together.

You can add an additional extra long folded piece for the 'hanger'. I cut mine about 8 inches long and 1/2in wide. I then cut and matted a circular photo in the center of the ornament.

2 Tiered Beaded Ornamant

Here is a real quick easy ornament - it turns out pretty small - perfect for hanging on a tree! or you could even make these as attachments to your gifts as a small embellishment!

Instructions:

Cut (6) Red patterned pieces 3 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (6) Green patterned paper pieces 3 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (4) Red patterned pieces 2 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (4) Green patterned paper pieces 2 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Once cut - poke or punch a small hole in each end, centering the hole about 1/4th in from each end. Use a bone folder to sort of train the paper into a bended crescent or "moon" shape (see photo). Take a 2 in head pin and feed all 12 of the 3 inch pieces onto it. make sure you go red/green/red/green and keep the pattern of the paper facing down as you add them. Now carefully - take the bottom (first one) paper and fold up, insert opposite ends hole onto the head pin. Repeat with the next piece of cardstock and the next until you have a complete "ball" created.

Repeat the same process with all of the 2 in pieces, creating another smaller 'ball'. Use a pair of jewelry pliers to finish off the 2 in head pin with a loop. From here you can add some beads to dangle from the ornament. From the other end of the headpin, add a piece of ribbon to use as a hanger.

Finished ornament is about 2in x 3in.
