A Little Decorative Winter Tree

Hello, my dear crafty readers, my bees ! That ran to congratulate all of you a Happy New Year !!

Wish you good luck, joy, smiles around, of course, creative inspiration, and boundless energy to implement all our plans !!

My new project for Crafters corner - New Year`s decor. I made a small wire snowy tree with Dress my craft Frosted sugar powder and decorated it.

With lots of sugar :-)

This is a relatively easy project, especially for the people that they are into using wire for jewelry making. Personally, I have little experience on these things. I learned it from my school days.

For Completing this tree, its take 2 hr

Main technique is twisting the wires, twist the whole wire like this. And make branches and roots. Do not twist until the end. End portion add Frosted sugar powder with Gel medium ( Matte finish or Glossy finish )

here is the video tutorial

Here i made Winter theme. If you want a just tree with single stone for root part is a good choice. You can also put your tree in a bowl with smaller stones or inside a jar with lots of frosted sugar powder. You can even make a little garden or forest. By using different materials and colors, you can create more elegant, spooky, colorful or bonsai-like trees ( cover whole with tissue and modeling texture paste). The possibilities are endless.

I hope you have enjoyed this creation.

Thank you for stopping by

MINI WINTER COTTAGE

Hello dear ones! and welcome! I can't believe it is already the last month of 2016! My New year cards are not all done yet. Everyone are having a winter theme creation of this month. This season is my favorite time of year! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families! I did something a little bit different, a mixed-media textured winter miniature cottage using a mix of various material like MDF, Card stock, paper, acrylic paints, Laser cut chippies, mediums and Snow flack paste .

Have a look at this.... so small... so cute

I must warn you, I made a mess! When i making this cute :-)
But I like to say ~ you have to make a mess to make pretty! :)

Many of you expressed interest in a tutorial for making doll-houses.
It's a little crazy around here today, so please forgive me if this tutorial seems a bit hurried. It really is just a matter of cutting, gluing and adding.

Here goes . . . .
I'll show you how to make a version of this house. This is just basic idea

1, Take thick card stock or thick chart paper. Cut like rectangle shape. If you are using card stock, you need 2 rectangle pieces

2. Cut out the shape,

3, Use Cobblestone stencil with texture paste for stone effect

4, The next step is to break out the hot glue gun.
I like to glue on the windows and doors next. It's much easier to do for framing the window. I choose Wycinanka cut out for cross window. Details are shared in last of this post.

In this pic can see the effect, Color i took acrylic brown

5, Attaching 2 ends of cardstock with stapler

6, Roof: As we did same technique, attaching one side of cardstocks 2 ends with stapler.

7, Make it as a cone by cutting excess part

8, here is the way attaching the 2 part. Use glue gun for fast and easy attaching

9, I dont know what should i called this paper, But you will get from local craft store. This is best one for arranging roof part.

10, Cut the tiny pieces like this and attach on roof with glue gun

How is this Cool idea...Is it? ;-)

Now it's time to talk about the base.

For small houses I like to use MDF square plaque 7" X 7". Its perfect cute for this

11, I marked the few portions in plaque for attaching cottage, stencil work on ground...etc and After stencil work i painted moss effect plaid-craft paint. Mixing of two shade to get dark green
