I was going to put this small wooden wreath on a card, but I have changed my mind and think I will attach a thread or narrow ribbon to it so that it can be hung on a Christmas Tree instead.
It started off as a wooden border in a pack I found reduced in The Works.
It’s a shame the leaves are not a bit more pointy like holly, but beggars can’t be too choosy. I started by colouring the frame with a green Sharpie pen and then glued on white snowflakes made using a snowflake punch.
I then got carried away by adding smaller punched snowflakes using a tiny punch I had almost forgotten about, wishing I had perhaps used white glitter card instead of plain card. Please excuse copious dollops of wet PVA glue.
And finally I went the whole hog, not only adding clear flat back gems to the centres of all of the snowflakes but also filling any other gaps with tiny silver stars …..too much? It is very pretty, but I wonder if, with the gem centres the snowflakes now look more like flowers ????? 
For such a bargain price I did buy several packets so I do have a little wiggle room to experiment.
I am also thinking that by using small punched flowers I could make something similar, hanging from a matching ribbon to give a bride on her wedding day, trying to incorporate something old, new, borrowed and blue?
love this make big love marc
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty! I think it will look great on either a tree or a card. It could even be put on a card with removable tape so the recipient could put it on their tree.
