Hi creative and crafty friends! Today is my turn up on The Greetery Blog! And, as usual, I'm posting my project here too! I hope you're doing great and having fun getting ready for the Christmas this week! I love to decorate my home for Christmas and make lots of pretty crafty things to put around... For my project today I created a cheerful and happy snowman banner using the brand new Honeycomb Snowman dies and the Snowflakes #2 dies. This project brought a smile to my face the whole time I was making it, and now it's hanging up in our dining room! Do you enjoy making home decor items too?! This is a Winter themed project, so I'm going to leave it up through January probably. When I decorate the house for the holidays I use all kinds of colors and themes. Then, once Christmas is over, I take down the obviously red/green/Christmas decorations, but I leave the snowmen, snowflakes, and Winter decorations up for the month of January. It just makes the holidays last a little longer during the foggy January days....
To make my snowman banner, I started by die cutting out all the pieces to make four snowmen from the new Honeycomb Snowman Die set. I assembled the snowmen and then added those most adorable snow white honeycombs! I die cut out five silver glitter paper snowflakes to put in between the snowmen on my banner. I used a long length of twine - around six feet - and used my hot glue gun to glue the snowflakes and snowmen onto the twine. It was really a fun and easy project and I love how it came out. I used bright colors for their ear muffs.
A few of my little finishing touches include - Copic marker shading on the die cut pieces of the snowmen, White gel pen accents, and bits of Diamond Glitter to give them a bit of shine! This would be a great group project or one to do with the kids too. The goal is to have F-U-N!
