The Christmas Month

Spoon Decorations Completed

Another task ticked off the list.

 Spoons have now had their ribbons attached and are listed on eBay.

The ones with Father Christmas on them sold well last year.  I hope this is a good year for the wolves!

Wolves on Spoons

 Last year I repurposed some plastic spoons and turned them into hanging Christmas decorations.

I had some spoons left over so today I finished making more decorations using glass cabochons of wolves.

 I love this image of a sleepy wolf with the moon in the background.

 This wolf has piercing blue eyes.

 A snowy white wolf.

 I had great fun making these and choosing the embellishments to put with them.

I just need to attach ribbons or thread for hanging. 

Spoon Decorations

YouTube is a great resource for learning new things.  I made these mixed media decorations from watching some tutorials.

They were enjoyable to make but labour intensive having to wait overnight for various stages of glue to set.  They took about four days total!    I am having a go to see if they will sell on eBay but I doubt they will make me a fortune!

 They are really bling and will catch the Christmas tree lights giving extra sparkle.

 I don't usually do bling but make an exception for Christmas.

The spoons are plastic but have been repurposed.  They are still have some weight to them due to the glass cabochon and crystal stones.

Do you have a preference for Christmas tree decorations?  Do you go for bling or the more natural look?  I have some ideas for making some other types of decorations but would be interested to know what you are drawn to.  I know woodland animals are popular (I like them too) but when something becomes mainstream I tend to go off it for a while!  I look forward to reading your suggestions.

Bigger Bolder Baubles

 Following on from my last post, I made some more baubles - larger this time with more 'bling'.

Here they are shown with the originals lined up underneath them.  I have no idea what people will be looking for so I guess I have to cover all bases!
