| This was my Christmas 2013 gift wrap. A bigger version of my Etsy shop packaging |
 |
| I LOVE Latin botanical names. (geek) |
 |
| This is the back of the bag. |
 |
| This was all well and good....simple and straight forward..... BUT then I had this thought..... How cool would it be if you took a bottle of wine to a party and instead of being filled with spirits, it contained a little snowy scene and lights? Your host slides off the bag and WOW, a little glowing world. What a dramatic reveal!(Unless he REALLY likes wine and doesn't care for crafty kitch.... people, choose your giftee carefully. These take forever to make!) here's how it turned out.... |
 |
| You can stamp cork! 'Comfort and Joy to You' |
 |
| Oohh. It really is kind of dramatic..... |
 |
| The whole scene |
 |
| 1. Glitter floral branches from Michaels 2. Martha Stewart self hardening clay for snowy base 3. Tiny stamps 4. Heatless Mizzy Wheels and a tiny grinding bit for drilling the glass 5. Paper images from the net covered in Martha Stewart Decoupage and coarse glitter 6. Tiny silver wire lights -Amazon $6 7. A cheap (cheep) feather boa |
 |
| The owls came out the best. |
 |
| Everything has to fit thru the neck of the bottle so the animals are all paper -covered with decoupage and glitter. The owl has been given some depth with two layered wings and face and a tiny tuft of boa feather. |
 |
| Hare. |
 |
| Drilling the hole was surprisingly easy. I used 2 grinding wheels and a flex shaft. |
 |
| I liked this quote. Something from the Peaceable Kingdom paintings would have been even better. |
 |
| Finished! |
