Joy Ornament Tutorial

To all those looking for humor, or before and after pics, you will just have to wait.

This is a crafting post!

You will need: 

Wood Rectangles

(I bought a huge pack of these at a craft supply place, not knowing what I was going to do with them)

Twine

Mini Clothespins

Rusty Jingle Bells

Decoart Americana

Sap Green

Cocoa

Antique White

Heritage Brick

Black

White

Regular Painting Supplies

Base the rectangles with the Sap Green.

I blended a little of the Antique White on the upper right hand corners.

Allow to dry and sand lightly.

With Cocoa on a round brush (6) paint the letters.

You don't need a pattern for these, just paint them.

Highlight on the upper and right sides of the letters with Antique White using the same round brush.

With Heritage Brick on a liner brush, paint in the stripes.

Shade the lower and left sides with Black on the same liner brush.

Highlight the letters with White on the right sides.

String four jingle bells on the twine.

(Honestly, this was the hardest part of the project)

Pin the rectangles on with the mini clothespins and you are done!

How simple was that!!!
