Christmas Pudding Baubles

Here are some more Christmas decorations I've been working on.

Christmas pudding baubles!

These are a fun alternative to the winter scenes I usually paint on baubles.

First I painted the whole thing brown. Once that had tried I painted the white for the icing.

Then I covered the icing in glitter. I used clear glitter that on mass looks white.

I painted the top part red for the holly berry and stuck on some holly leaves made out of painted green card.

Really simple but really fun.

These ones I made have already sold at the Letchworth Arts Centre's Christmas Craft Fair. I may have to make some more!

Movie Quote Ornaments

For fun I decided to make these Christmas movie quote baubles. Or Christmas moments in a movie, in the case of Mean Girls.

Firstly, writing with paint and a paint brush is hard y'all! Especially when it's on a rounded surface.

But I did my best.

I'm not even sure this quote is in Home Alone, it might just be, "keep the change, ya filthy animal", but some store had made a jumper with the Christmas version on so if it was good enough for them, I'd go with it.

Starbucks have started selling candy canes at the counter and when me and my friends saw them we came out with this quote from Mean Girls. Then a little while later when we were sat down we heard some girls do the same thing!

I painted some candy canes on the sides of this bauble, but you can't really see them in the photos.

This one is my favourite. I'm really happy with the way I painted the letters.

And I love the film Elf, and I do come out with this quote whenever someone mentions Santa.

What are your favourite quotes from Christmas movies?

Painting baubles

I've been continuing to increase my stocks ready for some up coming craft fairs, which includes painting some more baubles.

I started doing this one year at uni and sold a few at that time.

I even had some on sale at my local hair salon, and did a set of commissioned baubles.

Last January I bought a tube of silver baubles, which were on sale of course, ready to be painted this season. 

This time around I did a lot of snow covered fir trees.

The trees are really easy to paint using a small flat paintbrush.

I hope people like them and buy them!

Bauble necklace

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, or other winter based celebration of course.

The Christmas festivities (or Christmastivities as I like to call them) continue here so I made a necklace to add some Christmas to my outfit.  

It's made of mini-baubles!! So cute.

Hand painted baubles

This set of 3 hand painted baubles was a commission for a friend of my Mum's.

They depict three different views of Lake Tekapo in New Zealand.

3 for £10. Not bad at all.

This knitting needles and ball of wool bauble from craftster is so clever.

I love these ice cream baubles from the Naughty Secretary Club

And what's not to like about buttons in a bauble! From Polkadots are Love.

Yay Christmas.

Everything looks better in Gold and Green

December 1st means I can legitimately talk about Christmas!

I can listen to my new Sugarland album Gold and Green

I can tell you about my hand painted baubles

And I can go sledging! Ok, I did this yesterday, but it felt festive.
