Here they are:
For the angel: Just a little paint and either wing wood findings, or two small hearts (I've used both, this one was made with the wooden wings but I couldn't find 'em when I made the other batch, and the two small hearts worked just fine! For her "hair", I just took a few strings of yard, tied them in a knot and hot glued the knot to the top of the egg and fayed it a bit. You can tell the painting of her "outfit" and face is not elaborate. You can do this! If you feel more comfortable doing it on paper first, go ahead. I think if you study the pic, you'll get an idea or personalize it anyway you want.
For the snowman's hat, I just used some scrap material, but I have used a child's sock . Just cut a tube. You don't even have to sew the tube, you can glue a seam and hot glue a pin back to the back and you're done. Tie it close to the top. Really quick (except for the drying time for the paint, it's a matter of minutes!) Make a homemade card and punch a couple of holes in it to pin it to the card with the appropriate sentiment from you and you've got a super quickie gifty!
I used to make pins to give to the doctors I worked for at Christmas and the card said "Your annual token tacky Christmas pin". One doctor actually would call ahead the first week in December, and ask what day I was giving out the token pins. (He said he would never call them "tacky" LOL!)
Those are so cute!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I would not call them tacky at all. It would make a great gift or stocking stuffer.
ReplyDeleteOh Jeanette, these are just precious!! They aren't tacky at all! I would wear these with pride. You're just so talented ;)
