Holiday Craft Series Project 3

Project number three requires plain white Christmas ornaments (available everywhere), scissors, glue, a brush for spreading the glue, fine white glitter, and ladybug tissue paper (or any other festive tissue paper).



My blogging friend Nikki sent me a care package when we were waiting for our LOA last December. The gifts were a set of cute panda bear ornaments and a hand-made alphabet bible verse book with Josie's name on the cover. Both gifts were wrapped in ladybug tissue paper and I was determined to find a use for this adorable wrapping paper. Nikki found her ladybug wrapping paper at Family Dollar Stores. I was also able to get my hands on several packages of the same tissue paper at our own Family Dollar Stores in West Michigan.

Step 1. Cut out the ladybugs (or other decorations) from the tissue paper and set aside.



Step 2. Pour the glue into a bowl and using a brush, spread the glue on the ornament.



Step 3. Place the tissue paper ladybug over the glue area. Make sure all the edges are glued down.

Step 4. Place several ladybugs strategically on the ornament and allow to dry.

Step 5. Cover the entire ornament with a thin layer of glue (using the brush) and sprinkle fine glitter over the entire ornament.



Step 6. Hang your ornament to dry. Allow at least 6-8 hours of drying time.



Stay tuned for more Chinese-themed holiday craft projects. My next post will be Saturday morning. I'd love to hear from any of you who are doing fun holiday craft projects.
