25 Days of Christmas Ornaments - DAY 12

First of all, a very

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

to my MIL, Beverly - yep, she has a birthday on 12-12-12, how cool is that?

Here's my ornament for today

And here are my supplies

I had some of these glass circles left over from another project I made for my daughter's soccer team.  They make great magnets, but it turns out they make suitable ornaments as well.

 

I punched out a circle from some Christmas paper I had in my stash.  It was slightly larger than the glass circle, but I just trimmed it down to size and it fit just fine.

Out came the Diamond Glaze again, which I put right on the glass (about the size of a nickel).

 

As I pressed the paper down against the glass, some of the adhesive dripped over the side, but I just wiped it up with a paper towel, and you can't even tell.

 

I gave it about 15 minutes to dry and then I took a piece of stiff felt that has glitter on one side and cut out a circle.

Before gluing the felt to the ornament, I put down a loop of floss for a hanger.

 

 

I put some glue on a strip of ribbon and wrapped it around the outside of the ornament.

 

 

I used some pearls in two different sizes/shades of teal to frame the ornament.  An SRM sticker right in the middle finished it off.

 

Here's what the back side looks like

I really enjoyed making this one.  It came together quickly and helped me use up items that I've had in my stash for a couple of years!
