I am ringing in December with some inexpensive ornaments and gift boxes. I found these paper mache Holiday shaped boxes and ornaments for $1/each at Michael's. This is where I let my mind run wild and paired Helmar Adhesives with great products from our new preferred vendors:
- Fancy Pants Designs (Buttons & Paper)
- The Robyn's Nest (Dew Drops)
- Creative Impressions - Felt Pieces, Rick Rack & Ribbon)
- Stampendous (Embossing Powders, Glitters & White Flock!)
Using Helmar Adhesives I created these fun ornaments and gift boxes.
The following are the list of Helmar adhesives and applications:
- Acid Free Glue used to adhere all patterned paper to the boxes & ornaments
- Gemstone Glue for flocking, glitter, and clear Dew Drops)
- 450 Quick Dry for Ribbon, and Felt Pieces
- Liquid Scrap Dots for Tags & Words "Joy" and "Cheer"
Enjoy the Creative Process with step-by-step photographs.......
HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS & GIFT BOXES
How about a Helmar Holiday Giveaway so you can alter your own ornaments and gift boxes.........
Random draw will be December 10th so leave a comment attached to this Post to be entered to win. Let me know what you are working on for the holidays. Good Luck and Happy Helmar Holidays!

The projects are all so neat. I wish that I had the time to work on some of them this year, but alas children and work have made me very busy. I have heard wonderful things about the Helmar adhesives, however have never seen them in a store in the area.

I'm still working on Christmas cards. I did make one prim ornie this weekend and will be making some little gift boxes as the need arises ( I am running WAY behind this year !).. can never have enough adhesive, always running out especially with 2 kids that like to craft too !
Oh, I have a couple of large letters to alter too!
Thanks!
