...actually
i was just thinking about a project to upcycle the glass pane of the
large picture frame, which i repurposed into a ring storage ... i was
thinking and thinking and finally came up with the idea of the behind glass advent wreath.
recalling my crafting supply, i remembered my baroque ornament moulds, which i got to create a necklace and then i fell in love with the idea of making my own frames.
...you can easily skip that part and buy some small readymade picture frames...but it really had fun making them myself.
i
gathered all other needed supply, which i luckily had on hand already
and started spraying and painting...if you follow my tutorial you will
notice that i had to change a few things...again the project developed
within the creating process...i sort of like that...you never actually
know how a project turn out, until it is finished.
...
i hope you enjoy the idea of the alternative advent wreath behind glass
and my pictured tutorial...thank you so much for stopping by and best
regards...silke.
this is what you need
- large glass pane (upcycled from a picture frame)
- handmade ornaments or small picture frames
- pearlescent spray-paint
- hot glue
- pearlescent christmas balls
- other pearlescent decoration articles
- four small candles
- two paper clips
this what you have to do
- spay-paint your ornaments
- the paint i used i called diamond spray-paint but has a more pearlescent touch and contains some glitter parts...pretty.
- let everything dry completely
- spray-paint the paper clips on both sides
- let dry completely
- arrange the ornaments to four different shaped frames
- maybe like this
- and like this
- and like this
- and like this
- place the frames onto the glass panel
- hot glue the ornaments onto the glass
- here we go
- place one of the paper clips onto each bottom side corner of the glass panel to hold the glass panel
- start decorating the the front and the back side of the panel, placing the candles behind the glass
- as you may notice the small ball candles are way too large for the frames and need to be replaced
- using plain tea lights seemed a much better option...i tried to place them on pearly holders, but that was way too much.
- looking a the final design, i decided the glass panel would look with a sort of frosted look
- so the upper part of the glass was also spray-painted
- ohh so lovely
- i like...!!!
i hope you enjoyed the tutorial and i am looking forward seeing you soon for further advent wreath ideas...best regards...silke
