Country Chic Christmas Ornament

My country chic christmas ornament and the first annual Home for the Holidays Blog Tour brought to you by Sondra Lyn at Home! and co-host is Michele from Our Rosey Life.  365 Days of crafts is featuring a Country Chic Christmas Ornament.  To view the Christmas Ornament make sure you go all the way through the post.

We are so excited to bring the selection of blogs that have been assembled for this inaugural kick-off. Be sure to check back for each day’s inspirational links! And now for my Country Chic Christmas Ornament

Country Chic Christmas Ornament tools and supplies:

• Wood slices
• AdTech Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks (3 sticks used)
• popsicle stick
• Walnut Hollow Wood burning tool
• Scissors
• scrap fabric
• Jute cording

Instructions for Country Chic Christmas Ornament:

1.  Hot glue the head and body together
2.  Add a wood craft stick to the line of hot glue.
3.  Hot glue on the jute cording.

1.  Add the fabric scrap scarf

Now on to the fun part – the wood burning.  Use caution when using the wood burning tool.  I use pliers to change the hot stamp tips to be extra safe.

I used a small circle stamp for the mouth, and a larger circle stamp for the eyes and buttons.  Then a wedge shape to create the carrot nose.  I hope you have enjoyed my Country Chic Christmas Ornament.

Home for the Holidays

If you have not browsed the site these last few weeks, you might want to.  I have gone on a wood burning kick lately.  I used to love doing it as a child.  I think I got my first kit in 5th or 6th grade and they were little wood planks with images drawn on them that you traced with the wood burning tool.  The smell of the burnt wood always made me happy.  It was like being back in summer camp.  My skills have come a long way since the early 80’s.  Or, well at least I think so.  LOL
