Glittered & Stenciled Ornament…using a craft punch…
The last few weeks have been crazy busy teaching workshops and doing some interviews…As I know you are still making decorations for the Holidays, I thought about sharing with you another tutorial. Do you love punch art? I love it! And have collected quite a few punches. Punches are great to make easy stencils so I decided to use one of my favorite ones and make some. I used a corner punch for this project. I called this project Glittered Stenciled Ornament with “a punch”.
MATERIALS:
Glitter in two colours: white and red
Scissors
Ribbon
Tape
Paper
Punch
White plain ornament
Pencil
Brush
Ornament glue
INSTRUCTIONS:
1- Choose your favorite craft punch and make some stencils.
2- Remove metal top from the ornament.
3- Using tape adhere them on the ornament around the center leaving the same space between them.
4- Using a brush add white glue to the stencil.
5- Sprinkle red glitter right on the glue.
6- Repeat the process and do two stencils at a time.
7- Let dry completely.
8- Using a brush add glue to the ornament background.
9- Sprinkle silver glitter on it.
10- Let dry completely.
11- Choose two pieces of elegant ribbon. I chose silver and lavender.
This elegant ornament makes a great gift. Find a pretty box and wrap it!
Enjoy! I would love to see yours, please send me your photos.

Hello everyone,
Projects using craft punches are among my most favorites…
I am really glad you liked this ornament…Honestly, I was just trying to make one from things I already have in my studio. And I am a huge craft punch fan…have lots of them…and I am always looking for new interesting ones…
Guess what? I just bought myself a new one…on sale…Aren’t you curious?
Don’t be! I will be showing it to you soon {I know you would want one for yourself} and how I used it on a craft project. So fun!
Kate:
Yes! You better get back to the store…and stock up on them!

Hi Gabriela,
This is a wonderful idea, and it certainly came out beautiful. I love glitter anything, and this looks so lovely. I bet it catches the light on the tree too.
