Hi everyone, Sandee here with a gentle reminder that there are 42 days left til Christmas! I hope I didn't make anyone panic, lol But if you are like me, it takes time to get prepared so I have to start now!!
I am playing some Christmas music to get me in the mood and making some wildlife ornaments. Now if it would only snow I would be in heaven!
I loved adding the bling to the ornament cap for a little extra sparkle. Being frugal is important for me and being able to use gems that I can get on sale is a bonus. I take them apart and use my Helmar Gemstone Glue to adhere them on. A little bit goes a long way, but don't worry if you use too much, because it dries crystal clear and will not muddy up your stones or pearls!
I also add a tiny bit of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to anchor down my bow and to hold the beads in place. That way everything stays put no matter how times it is handled!
Now to get my Christmas tree put up so I can hang my ornaments!
~Happy Holidays to everyone~

Such a good idea to add little beads or gems to the ornament caps!
