This post is brought to you by *Plaid Crafts – Mod Podge Pearl & FolkArt Multi-Surface Paint and Blueprint Social. The opinions are my own.

I seriously die for Christmas. I look forward to it all year long and I am not sure if it’s because of the all the DIY’S I create or just because it’s the one time of the year I can relate to my childhood. I had a great childhood especially around Christmas time. My mother was always baking goodies and her decor was to die for, literally. She always went all out and I believe that is why I love decorating so much. So thanks mom if you are reading this!

For this project I wanted to show you a little bit of my bohemian side by creating glittery feather ornaments. These are so much fun to do and they look great when they are completed. They add a softness to any tree and you could also turn them into a feather garland. The possibilities are endless yo! Also, think outside of the box… Christmas ornaments don’t always have to be BALLS!

About Mod Podge

Crafters everywhere entrust their most treasured decoupage creations to Mod Podge®, the number one, all-in-one glue, sealer and finish! The ultimate in convenience, Mod Podge has been loved by crafters of all ages for its flexibility, versatility and supreme ease of use since 1967. Best of all, it’s waterbase, making clean-up a snap. It’s non-toxic, too—perfect for young crafters.

Step 5: Sprinkle your glass glitter immediately after you apply the Mod Podge. I suggest placing the feather at this point under a sheet of paper so you can easily pour the left over glitter back into the bottle.

SHAZAM! How beautiful are these! gold glass glitter

Step 6: After your glitter section is dry apply a nice layer of Mod Podge Sparkle over the entire painted section, also over the glitter. We want to seal all this awesomeness onto the feather. sealing with mod podge

Step 7: Take a normal Christmas hook and straighten up on end, then wrap it around the bottom of the feather. Frankly I think they look so cool like this. You could also use ribbon for this part or cool wire! how to make a christmas hook

Martha Stewart Countdown #49 Tinsel Snowflakes

Ya know. Everyone loves snowflakes! I know I do! When I was a little bitty baby girl I remember sitting in my room trying to fold paper and cut in certain spots to make them. Never turned out like I wanted. I think it’s time I try again. Maybe that will be in another post! But today we are making affordable fun crafts to add to your Christmas tree! Martha Stewart even has the template for you to use!

Tinsel isn’t just for sprinkling on an evergreen tree. Try creating this sparkling ornament to brighten any room.This tinsel glitter is so amazing. It totally reminds me of vintage crafts. You just don’t see tinsel anymore! But Martha Stewart is bringing it back {to the bottom of the map}…

Using a utility knife, cut out the snowflake shape. From this  template.

 Using a medium paintbrush, coat one side of shape with craft glue or use the tip of the glitter glue.

I used Martha Stewart’s tinsel glitter.

This is what they should look like after you cut them out.

Sprinkle with tinsel glitter. Let glue dry; shake off excess glitter. It’s already looking crazy pretty RIGHT!

Listen! I wanna design a snowflake line. I would make the best ornaments ever! Of course I would use tinsel glitter {{teehee}}

I want to eat one. They just look like something that would feel so good in my belly right now!

It’s little baby decorations  I swear I can’t type all of these blogs fast enough to show you everything I want at one time! Guess that means you will have to come back!!!
