Baby's 1st Christmas Ornament!

I picked a wooden Snowflake from my garage sale stash and gave it 2 coats of Robin's Egg Blue paint by Glidden.

Once dry I hot glued on a Dollar Tree Snowflake. Love that these already have white glitter on them!

I took a strip of blue crepe paper and folded it accordion style, then connected both ends by gluing them to make a round ruffled circle.

I brushed glue around the edges, being sure to get it down in the ''valleys'' too.

and added blue glitter. Gotta have sparkle!

I glued the crepe paper round to the top and let everything sit and dry thoroughly. In the mean time I found a smaller foam Snowflake and covered it in silver glitter, setting it to the side for it to dry well also. Once everything was dry I tilted and tapped the remove any loose glitter. When all was dry I added the small silver to the top as the last Snowflake.

I found a font I liked, sized it, printed it out and cut it into a strip long enough to go across the Snowflake Ornament. I cut "V" shapes in each end to resemble a banner and glued the ends to the top over the silver Snowflake. I embellished each "V" in the banner with a tiny blue flat back stone. I tied a bow with festive ribbon to add to the top. Added the hook and c'est fini! They aren't identical, but similar, which is perfect :) To see the one I made for my Granddaughter last year and more details for this one, check out my original post: http://dragonflytreasure.blogspot.com/2016/12/1st-christmas-ornament.html
