CHRISTMAS BLING

Who wouldn't love a little bling for Christmas?  Yes, give your house (you) a little extra special sparkle for Christmas. Why not? The holidays are all about decorating, entertaining and gifting, so make a few of these bobbles for your house and everyone on your list. Dazzling.

This classic ornament will get you in the mood early for celebrating the holiday. Strung on a garland or layered in a bowl, a welcome gift for your guest as you entertain this season.

This is what you will need-

Silver Leaf...Link here

Pencil

Small Craft Brushes

Ornaments

The perfect complement for silver are these white pearl finish  3" ornaments.

Trace, cut or punch any small shape you would like. I used a 1" star and heart punch to create a paper stencil.

Lightly trace your shape onto the center of the ornament. I used little dash lines to make the star and heart shape, keeping the outline light.

Stir the adhesive.

Gently paint the adhesive over the outline and slightly beyond the pencil marks. The pencil marks may show through the silver leaf.

Fill in the entire shape with adhesive.

Wait a good 30 minutes for the adhesive to dry completely. The adhesive dries shinny like a mirror.

Place the sheet of silver leaf with the shinny side on top of the ornament. The parchment/tissue paper side should be facing you.

Gently rub the silver leaf with your finger tip to transfer the silver onto the ornament.

Remove the sheet.

Any excess silver leaf not touching the adhesive can gently be brushed away carefully with the tip of a craft brush.

Smooth the leaf on the ornament with your finger tip to secure.

If there are little spots that did not take the silver leaf, simply add a little adhesive, wait and then reapply the silver leaf. It will magically blend in.
