How I made this one /step by step
First I printed one image on white paper and one image on patterned paper.
- paper piecing
- images must be same size
- you can print more images and make more layers
- I made circle around the image in MS Word, but you can use any other tool to make circle
- circle size on patterned paper is Ø 37 mm, 3 mm smaller than Ø of acrylic ball ornament (I made three more Christmas Ornaments in December 2014 and used same measurements for all: Ø of patterned paper circle is 3 mm smaller than Ø of acrylic ball ornament)
Then I cut out image on patterned paper and colored pieces I needed.
I colored image printed on white paper and fussy cut it. I used two different pairs of scissors.
I colored edges with fine liner and added white water based glue on the backside of the image. I smeared glue with my fingers all over the backside of the image and glued it over image on the patterned paper. I always do these when paper piecing.
On photos below, you can see the difference between images, before and after coloring edges with black fine liner. I also added silver sparkles.
Ornament
is double sided. I cut out circle from the same patterned paper I used
for the image.
Then I added acrylic paste to create snow effect.
After drying, I added some transparent varnish to a fairy´s wings.
I decorated the other side of the image with pearl maker and plastic snowflake.
I placed image in the center of a clear acrylic ornament and added some glue on few spots, to prevent image moving inside the ornament.
After closing ornament ball, I glued satin ribbon around it, to hide ornament´s connection and to prevent ornament opening.
At the end, I embellished ornament with white flower ans synthetic snowballs and added nylon thread.
Look how the image glows on the Sun. :-D
And a short video. :-D
