One of our Christmas Eve traditions is everyone receives a new ornament. For the past few years I have been making the ornaments that I give. This year I am using Maya Road bottle caps to create some of those ornaments.
I used my Spellbinder standard circle dies to create the background paper for each ornament. I used circle die #13 for the 4" Maya Road bottle cap and circle die #9 for the 3" Maya Road bottle cap.
I used a Spellbinders Nested Pine Tree die to create this first ornament. Lawn Fawn's Puffy Clouds border dies were used to create the snowbanks. I love those dies. I use them to create not only clouds, but also snowbanks, hills, and ocean waves. I added rhinestones to the tree for ornaments.
This second ornament was created for my daughter who loves the red truck carrying a tree theme that you can see on so many things. I used a die and a stamp that were included with a recent edition of Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine. I painted a scrap of paper with Sparkling H20 watercolor paint for the truck. When the paint dried, I used the die to cut out the truck. I added tiny brads to the tires for hub caps. The road was created with a piece of ribbon. The truck and the tree are adhered to the bottle cap with foam tape.
Here's another truck ornament I made. This time I added a tree from Michaels to the top of the truck.
I used my craft drill to drill 2 small holes in the top of each ornament. Then I threaded a piece of twine through the holes and knotted it to create a hanger for each ornament.
I have other ornaments to share with you on another day. Have a great day!
