One would travel to Magali in Brittany, France.
(The Little White House On The Seaside)
One would travel to Vicky (Life On Willie Mae Lane) in Florida.
And one would stay here with me and hang on the tree.
*Vintage-looking paper
*Three Frozen Charlottes
(They all clamored to go - it was hard to choose!)
*Three small paper mache' boxes with window lids
*Bottle brush trees
*Mod Podge
*E-6000 glue
*Craft paint
Mod Podge the paper on the boxes.
While the bottoms dried, I painted the lids with blue.
Then I added a silver glaze over both the lids and the bottoms.
I attached a silver wire to the sides and secured it with small buttons. I used an eyelet on the holes so the wire would not pull through.
The Frozen Charlottes and bottle brush trees were attached with E-6000.
Yes, it is difficult to glue a one-legged doll to a small box.
Added some silver glitter around each opening.
Glued the lid to the bottom.
A Carol Of The Holly - on the back of each.
I stamped the lids with "NOEL" and some stars.
Tied on a silvery tinsel ribbon.
Displayed them with a book of maps of Paris just in case one gets to go there!
Don't despair - this Charlotte will be prominently displayed on my tree.
Magali and Vicky loved their ornaments.
I had so much fun making them that I forgot to make extras for family and friends.
YIKES!
Back to work.
See y'all!

Donna, they are so pretty! You should make some for your booth, too, they'd sell for sure. Have a good week - Dawn
ReplyDeleteOkay..you know how I feel about the frozen Charlottes, but even I have to admit those are darn fine ornaments!
ReplyDeleteLove the frozen Charlottes as ornaments! I think the bottle brush trees warm them up a little. Putting a carol on the back was a stroke of genius.
