1st Christmas Ornament!

 

I wanted to make Brandon a First Christmas Ornament 

like I did Izabelle.

Hers was just last year and I couldn't remember how I did it!

Thank goodness I took a photo of it! 

You can see that post here.

I gathered supplies and got busy.

I picked a wooden Snowflake from my stash 

and gave it 2 coats of Robin's Egg Blue by Glidden

Once dry I attached a Dollar Tree Snowflake

 I took a strip of blue crepe paper and folded it accordion style, 

then connected both ends to make a round ruffled circle. 

 I brushed glue around the edges 

and added blue glitter.

Gotta have sparkle!

I glued it to the top and let everything sit and dry thoroughly.

In the mean time I found a smaller Snowflake and covered it in silver glitter, setting it to the side for it to dry well also. 

When all was dry I added the small silver as the last Snowflake.

Found font I liked, sized it, and printed it out.

Cut "V" shapes in each end to resemble a banner 

and glued it to the top.

I embellished each "V" in the banner with a blue flat back stone.

I tied a bow with festive ribbon to add to the top.

Added the hook and c'est fini!

Izzy's from last year

Brandon's I did this year

Similar but not exactly the same,perfect!
