That is a gorgeous tree topper and who on earth is that fabulous little elf?

This is just so sweet and beautiful it makes me weepy... I think I'm having another heavy feelings day... So... you put glitter on the outside of your ornament.. what do YOU use to seal it... I'm working on something now and I'm not sure what's best to use... help?
ReplyDeleteOh... and I didn't mean NOW now... I'm actually leaving for work soon, but in the general span of time now :) .. thanks!! Sweet dreams!
DeleteHey Lisa, thankyou so much for your kind words! Hope you had a great day at work. To answer your question.....I painted the box in quite a thick layer of mod podge inside and out, then really pushed the glitter into it. I didn't seal it on the outside , its not going any where!
DeleteThis is such a gorgeous ornament, Tracey! Love all the white with the pops of color and it looks amazing on your tree. Hugs, Autumn

A chocolate box and turning it into an ornament for the tree top. How gorgeous and the red really pops, and noticing a crocheted item again, along with other pretty material for the flowers to rest on. Simply gorgeous tree setting.
ReplyDeleteYou've transformed the chocolate box into a stunning piece of art! So incredibly gorgeous...going back for some closeups and whole bunch more gazing and admiring! Your projects over the three day hop: outstanding! Thank you!

Oh, so very beautiful - love your transformed chocolate box. Each piece you placed inside is perfect from the star, the little charm, the flowers and the gorgeous red berries! Awesome project for the last day of Visions of Sugarplums!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - I have never seen a prettier box to decorate the way you have!
ReplyDeleteSandy xx
I too love heart shaped chocolate boxes and have altered a few but yours!!! Oh heavens and guess what. I found a wooden tree at a thrift store a few weeks ago and snagged it knowing eventually something would inspire me but this isn't just something. This is fabulous! Thank you so much. I'm over the mom happy to have found your blog post today! Off to cobble my own interpretation of your generous inspiration. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteooh what a gorgeous alteration...love the colors
ReplyDeleteCheers
