Attach it to a pillow, use it as embellishment for a blanket, glue a hair clip on the back for a cute accessory, or attach it to your Christmas tree.  The possibilities are endless!


I personally chose to attach a hair clip to the back for a lovely Holiday hair accessory.  You can purchase the hair clip in my etsy shop for a limited time!

I hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays!

Wire jewelry has been around for a long time.  It is an ancient craft dating back to the time of the Egyptian pyramids, and probably even before then.

Decoupage is also great for covering nasty, hard-to-get-off, sticky residue.  I could have also chosen to just paint it and add a layer of Mod Podge over it to seal it, but I wanted the texture of the tissue paper. Materials I used: Craft paint Mod Podge Paint brushes Tissue paper streamer left over from a birthday party 3 years ago. I added two coats of paint to the areas I wanted to cover. After the paint was dry, I brushed on a layer of Mod Podge to the first handle. While the Mod Podge was still wet, I immediately b
