Christmas Place Marker Tutorial

Hello friends!

Another tutorial to share with you today!

A festive Christmas decoration or a place marker for your table, it's sparkly and cute!

 

 

The base is a small wooden spool found at a local craft store.

I inked it with Vintage Photo Distress ink to give it an aged look.

 

Wrap a piece of ribbon and glue to the spool. Now head out in your yard and pick up a few twigs. Cut one to desired size, I cut mine to be about 9 inches.

Place down in center of spool and glue to adhere.

 

Cut a couple holly shaped leaves from sheet music and color with green ink.

Cut a 3 inch paper scallop or circle from scrapbook paper and a paper snowflake.

 

Cut a 1 1/4 x 3 1/2 inch banner shape from pink cardstock.

 

Glue banner to center of scallop.

 

Then glue the holly leaves and snowflake to the center of the scallop.

 

Then add a paper rose to the center. I found a lovely set in sugar kissed colors at Michaels.

 

Add silver glitter glue around the edges of the banner shape to add more sparkle.

 

Write names or stamp a Christmas sentiment to the center of the banner.

 

I used masking tape to attach the twig to the paper scallop.

 

Glue another scallop to the back to finish off the back.

 

It makes a great display on the shelf!

 

 

Have a lovely day, Lindsey
