Easy Holiday Gift Idea!

 This is a super easy project!! I plan to make a few of these for friends and family this year.  (Surprise, to all my family and friends that read this!)  This would be super easy to add a hanger on and hang it up as a holiday decoration!!  You could also give it as is, because it can stand on its own!! 

I started this project with a piece of scrap board.  

I cut a piece of paper out to fit and glued it down! 

I chose the Linnie Blooms big Heart for the center of the ornament.  I used my red gelato to color it bright red.  The gelato glides right onto the canvas shape! Love.  Then I cut the shape of an ornament out of holiday sheet music.  The sheet music was really bright and I didn't want the pattern of the ornament to fight with the pattern on the paper.  I mixed glazing medium with white gelato to make a white glaze for the ornament shape to dull down the music print.

When I looked at the paper on the wood piece, I realized it needed a little something to blend it onto the block.  So I took out this little sandpaper tool and sanded all around the edges.  I loved the results - it looks like it has been there for years!!  Just a little detail that was so easy but makes such a difference!

I put a thin layer of glue around the edge of the ornament and poured on the glitter!! Can't have a holiday ornament without sparkle!!

I glued everything onto the paper with Decou-page and Helmar 450.  Love that stuff!!

I picked out a little holiday saying and printed it out on my printer.  Then I sealed it down onto the project with multi-medium!

I added some wire and red ribbon . . .

Added some rub-ons and doodles . . .

And easy-peasy - adorable gift for someone on my Christmas list!!
