A Little Vintage Sparkle For Your Tree


It's tree trimming time!

We decorated our tree last night
and this morning I relocated the 30 ornaments Maggie put on the bottom branch.
Precious I tell you!

I made a few ornaments for my space at Station 8 and they were SO FUN to make.
I was inspired by this picture I found on, where else . . . Pinterest


Vintage book pages and glitter?
Ya can't go wrong!

So here's how I made mine.

First gather your supplies:


Oh yea baby!

 Clear ornaments
vintage pages- I used sheet music
glitter
and good ol' Mod Podge

As you can imagine, it's super simple.
Just have a hay day mod-podging those strips of sheet music until your ornament is covered.
Once covered, brush on another thin coat of 'Podge' and sprinkle with a little glitter.

Then let them hang out to dry.
I found it was best to stick a pencil inside and gather in a cup.

Here's how they turned out




These would make a great gift to the teacher in your life.  
We'll be giving one to our piano and choir teacher.

Hope you have a sparkly day!
