This book is jam-packed with ideas for creating your own unique ornaments. There is something for painters and crafters of all levels and age groups. Make ornaments for craft shows or bazaars, as gifts, or to decorate your own tree. The ornaments are created using a variety of products... wood, glass, metal, rusty tin, oven-bake clay, bread dough clay, cinnamon dough, paper mache, fabric and foam. Complete preparation, painting and finishing instructions, plus a color conversion chart for acrylic and glass paints so you can use any brand you like. A must-have on your creative book shelf!
Whether you've just started knitting or been knitting for years, you'll love fashioning these sparkling orbs! Each of the twelve designs cradles a clear glass ornament inside, and each knitted creation is highlighted by dozens of beads. Use yarn enhanced with a metallic thread to make your knitted orbs glow with reflected light. Display them near a window, heap them in bowls or vases, or hang them on ornament stands. These decorator items are beautiful year-round, and they make wonderful gifts!
