Christmas Tree Frame Ornaments

I made a few pretties for some 

of my coworkers

and family for Christmas gifts.

I found these cute little frames

at Target (they were plain, simple little

brass frames that hang on

the Christmas tree).

I painted the frames with glitter paint that

I got from the local craft shop.

I used purple glitter paint on this purple decorated frame above,

and red on the red decorated frame, and green on

the green decorated frame.

I basically had 3 colors of glitter paint that I used.

I put a coat of varnish on the 

dried glitter paint.

After the glitter paint dried, I added the stick on

rhinestones by dabbing a little bit of 

glue on the frame and on the rhinestone 

to help it stick better and then glued on the 

white fuzzy yarn around the outer and inner edge of 

the frame to give it  a snowy look.

They turned out really nice,

everyone seemed to like them.

Did you make any of your gifts this year?
