Glass Christmas Cutting Boards

Hi everyone!  Happy Wednesday...guess what?  I am back with more holiday goodies using my Cricut and svg files.  I know, CHA is coming and I should be working on projects...I still have so much to do, but making Christmas decor is so quick and easy.  hee hee

OK, so I found these small glass cutting boards/trivets at the Dollar Store and have seen so many fun things done I couldn't resist trying my hand.

Don't ask what I was thinking but I decided my first cutting board/trivet was going to be this beautiful Winter Wonderland scene.  Well, it took me two tries to get it properly weeded...one of these days I may have to read about how you are "supposed" to weed vinyl.  I am probably doing it all wrong.  lol I found the file in a Cricut user group on Facebook.

After that I had to try my hand at this super cute Santa found over at Kraftgineer. .  I wanted to give it as a gift, so I really needed it to be "right".  The Santa was much easier to center on the glass and the scrolls were much more forgiving than I would have originally thought.  I hope the recipient liked it. Anyway...if you are looking for scrolly (is that even a word) files, be sure and check this site out.  So many fun files.

Well, off to work on those CHA samples.  

Santa Bling Candle Stand

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday.  Today I want to share with you another quick and simple project I made for Christmas.  As some of you may know, Phil and I often attend wine tastings, and when we do we often come home with extra wine glasses.  Well, that leaves lots of glasses for crafting.

This project was super simple and only used a few supplies.

I began by using mod podge and covering the bowl.  I was having a hard time getting the mod podge even, so spray adhesive to the rescue.  I sprayed the glass and then rolled it in glitter.  I know, I could have worked better with the mod podge but I had other projects and was in a bit of a hurry.  lol

Once dried I sprayed the stem and base and rolled that in glitter.

From there, a simple ribbon with a Buckle Boutique rhinestone slide hot glued around the bowl and a quick fabric collar cut with my Sizzx and my project was complete.  Don't forget to clean up those little hot glue strings.

So quick and easy.  I may make a few more.  I think we have a dozen or so more glasses lying around.  lol

Have a great weekend.  Hugs.

These Were So Much Better in My Head

Hey everyone!  Don't you hate it when you have an idea for a project....and you work so hard....and in the endd, eh.  That's how I feel about this project.

I have had Ice Resin in my stash for quite some time...I have been accumulating bezels...and I finally broke down and decided to make something.  But, in the end.  bleh

I think I should have used vintage Santa Images inside...something a little brighter.  I love the boxes, and I love the bezels.  I just do NOT love the combination.  lol

Here is a photo of the bezels.  At least I think I may have gotten over my fear of Ice Resin?  Maybe?

The boxes were cut on my Cricut and I hand wired the bezels and beads with a bit of wire and some findings from Tim Holtz.

Hugs.
