Hand painted Cube Ornament

Here’s my take on the Twist Cube … no twisting involved! I thought, and I do hate to be redundant … (I’d so much rather have a clever different way to say this)… so again, I thought …blank canvas! What a great way to showcase six little Christmas icons – all at a cute little 3″ x 3″ size!!!  Here they are:

  The Christmas Puppy

  The Christmas Kitty

 

  The Christmas Star – all tangled in lights …

 A Snowman with Earmuffs!

 

A Snowman in a Floppy Hat – with Jingle Bell …and lastly, my personal favorite:

 A Snowman in a Woolly Tasseled Scarf!! … if you’d like to see more,

here are a few Work In Progress photos:

 This is what we all started with ^

I painted a sheet of textured acrylic paper black.

 I cut the painted paper into six 3″ x 3″ squares;

 distressed the edges with a sanding block …

 … made myself six small patterns …

… transferred each pattern onto a paper square with white transfer paper …

… painted, shaded, highlighted, and then outlined the details with a permanent marker.

Assembled the cube, and centered a painted paper square onto each side of the cube. I used red line tape to adhere the centers

of each paper square … then glued around the edges to keep them from curling.
