Christmas decorations that can also display a pretty card or photo are a great choice for crafting projects. And a super-fun way to customize blank wood objects is with a coat of paint and pretty colored sequins and beads from Buttons Galore and More!
First step is figuring out your color palette I loved the minty green buttons in the Yuletide Greetings buttons mix and I thought they’d look good sprinkled about the large ball area of the ornament decoration.
I painted the raw wood with Folk Art pearl, gold, silver and pink paint.
Once everything was painted and dried I glued the mint buttons, the silver cap and the pink band onto the base.
I coated the gold star with glue and sprinkled the 28 Lilac Lane Premium Sequins Metallic Mix Gold on it.
I picked out a few large silver sequins and placed them on the top cap.
The pink band was embellished with an iridescent mix.
This ornament comes with a wire swirl that is perfect for holding cards like this one from the Crafter’s Companion Christmas Past Luxury Card Collection.
I further embellished the wire with a little bow of tulle that I glued on a few gold star sequins.
