poppinette – 11 – x-mas 2012

X-‐MAS ON THE WALL Turn a hanger into a striking Christmas ornament. Use fabric ribbon cut to different lengths to hang Christmas baubles from it. Hang them at different heights for a casual effect.

ADD STRUCTURE Give a plain Christmas bauble some extra flair with casual dots from a structure paint pen.


HAND-‐PAINTED Revamp old plain Christmas ornaments by using a highlighter to draw your own flower motif. You need to look no further than a pretty piece of wrapping paper or wallpaper for inspiration. Tie a bow using ribbon and hang your ornaments as an eye-catching piece.

DOILY LIGHTS Dress up simple, coloured glass votive holders with paper lace doilies. Cut the doily in half and glue it to the votive holder, making sure to align the straight edge with the bottom..
