Let’s make it!
We are starting with the Joy Shelf Sitter! I painted the base (from Dollar Tree), the “J” and the “Y” with White Swan.
I traced the “O” ornament on the back of the “Falalalala” paper and cut out the shape. Next I put Mod Podge on it to adhere the paper and sanded the edges.
I dried all of the pieces with my heat tool.
I painted the little hanger part of the ornament with Folk Art Metallic Gold, the top layer of the J with Gypsy Green and the stripes on the Y with Marquee. I glued the layers onto the bases with DAP Rapid Fuse.
I used hot glue to adhere the Dollar Tree game blocks to the base to support the letters.
TIP: Be sure to paint edges!
I put dashes and dots on the letters with my white paint pen. That really made it cute!
Now for the 3D Christmas Tree!
I painted the stack of shapes as one. First I painted the top, then dried it with my heat tool. Next, I put tape over the stack and flipped it over and painted the back. I painted the medallion for the top of the tree with Metallic Gold, and dabbed some gold on the stack.
I painted the base structure with Waverly Antique Wax, then began stacking the layers onto the tree.
Y’all, I found these miniature dollhouse lights on Amazon (see link above). They don’t light up, but are perfect for crafting.
And our projects today are finished!
