WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 WOW 🤩 Nina, I really really love ❤️ all of these they are stunning and gorgeous too. I really really love ❤️ the Owls 🦉 one of my favourite birds. And the hearts ♥️ is so cute too. All of them are really really fabulous. Thank you so much. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thanks so much Mags. I really enjoyed making these and there is something really special about displaying a homemade tree decoration. Have a wonderful week and you stay safe too 💕 xxxx
Fabulous! I have seen the pretty tissues and never tumbled 🤪to using the napkin method! Thank you for the tip to see the framer for scraps! Excellent idea! Thank you!! Ang in WA state, USA 🇺🇸
These ornaments are so delightful! I love using napkins. They have the most beautiful designs. We all have bases for making these in our stash. The heart turned out lovely.
These are breathtaking! Love the added finishing touches!!!! The napkins are gorgeous. I would have been tempted to put the original twine and beads back on the heart. I love that you had the vision to use gold. I am going to google the gold paint you use and put that on my list, too. So often, I watch you add that to a project and am flabbergasted at what a subtle, but powerful change it makes. Th owls are my favorites! Those were cute napkins and there were so many on one sheet. I was busy up cycling brown store shopping bags this week. I used gesso over the logo and then applied Christmas napakins. I have a lot of holiday napkins that I love and have been looking for projects to use. Well I know what I will be doing this week. This is an exciting idea for sure!!!! I will be gluing layers of cereal box cardboard, as I don’t have the substrates. Mi might even make some coasters. Gluing is just as relaxing and fun as painting!!!! TFS. I did. God bless and stay safe.
Hello Evelyn. I agree, gluing is just as relaxing as painting and if you can mix the two together, then perfect 💕. Treasure Gold is a bit tricky to get hold of in some areas, but I am told that Pebeo Gilding Wax is just as good and very similar. It lasts for ever and unlike Inka Gold, it can be thinned with spirits if it starts to harden. As you know, I am a little obsessed with the stuff. Your bag project sounds wonderful and I’m sure they look wonderful adorned with gorgeous napkins. Stay safe and have a wonderful week 💕 X
I have been thinking of you all day and smiling. I had to watch this again because I want to make sure I use my owl tissue correctly. I can’t believe that someone would use something so beautiful for anything but an art project. The mail I got today made me very happy!!!!!!! I am so blessed to learn so much from you!!!!
Brilliant as usual Nina. I have a pile of beer mats I got from somewhere, both round and square and perfect size for giving a coat of gesso to and turning into tree decorations
Lovely ornaments. My favorites are the owls, but the other two are great, too. Lots of ideas! As usual, I really appreciate the little touches you do to finish things off.
Thanks Janet. If you search ‘decoupage napkins’ on eBay you will find dedicated sellers that have the most amazing selections. You can also buy them in packs of 4 rather than the usual 20. I hope you find some 💕
Thank you. I have so many ideas for projects in my head, far more than I have time to make. I often dream up ideas in my sleep. If only I could remember them all by the time I wake 💕
Thanks Ger. I usually refuse to even think about Christmas until 1st December, but I’m so glad we’ve done this months prompt. For once I am ahead of my game rather than being in a blind panic! Haha I know what you mean about he owl tissue 😂💕 x
Thanks Yvonne. Every year I make a few homemade decorations to give away and add to my own tree. I love the eclectic mix of things I’ve both made and acquired over the years. It’s so relaxing to sit and make them too. Love the decorations you have made too this week. They’re fabulous ❤️
Oh Nina these are just beautiful, I love the owls and birds but the large one is my favourite because I can’t resist anything with a deer on it tfs xxx💕
Hi Nina! Oh those owls are so gorgeous! I have an assortment of Christmas napkins in that same size coming from a Canadian Etsy store. Now I'm even more excited for them to arrive! I also have a stack of round paperboard white coasters I could turn into decorations for friends n family in the same way. Thanks for the great ideas!
Good morning nina, loved this video so much, I love the way you carefully put the ornaments together and they looked beautiful, really.. Unlike other years people in the netherlands are already decorating for christmas, much earlier than usual, we all long for warmth and light at the end of the covidtunnel we're in. Creating always helps and I could have watched you for hours. Have a good week nina, stay safe and have fun reating, hugs from me lena xxx
Hello Lena. Steve tested positive for Covid just over 2 weeks ago and has been very unwell. Glad to say he is now on the mend and today was the first time we have been out in the fresh air since. We took a lovely walk down by the river and were amazed at the number of houses we saw that had put their decorations up early. I think you are right, people of longing for the warmth and light they provide. This is the earliest I have ever started my preparations as I usually refuse to even think about Christmas until December, but I have to say I have really enjoyed this month’s challenges and I’m ahead of my game for once which is a nice feeling. Stay safe Lena, and have a wonderful week. Sending love and hugs 💕 xxx
Thanks Kimberly. I’m not sure where you live, but the supermarkets here in the U.K. have a wonderful selection of napkins and if you search ‘decoupage napkins’ on eBay there is an enormous variety 💕
Found what I was looking for!!! I am planning my Christmas gifts and wanted to get inspiration from this again!!! Love! Love these holiday projects! Have a two dozen coasters that were giveaways that I want to repurpose as holiday gifts. This is the video for helping me do that!!! 🙏💞
These are all just beautiful, Nina. I do sometimes go and 'beg' some offcuts from the framer's but I've never had a round one. Mine have always been either square or rectangular so I'll ask next time to see if they have round ones. Thanks for yet another lovely and informative video. I love this week's challenge.
Thanks Edna. I have one in a heart shape somewhere as well and one that’s cut in the shape of a house. I must dig them out and do something with those too. Glad you enjoyed this weeks video and look forward to seeing your creations 💕
Absolutely love all of these!… not over seasonal,so could be hug on wall all year round! Luv,luv,luv the owls.I recognise the deer/owl napkin...think have some in my stash still,and the bird one.What medium is it you use,make etc ?....I never seem to get the right stuff! x
Thanks Lynda, yes I like that they are not overly seasonal as well. I find that Matt Medium is best for napkins as it’s not overly sticky. I prefer the Windsor & Newton Galeria brand. You can use Matt ModPodge but you will need to water it down to a ratio of 50:50 water to glue. Happy Creating 💕 X
Especially loved those owl tags. 😊
Thank you for sharing these simple yet elegant ornaments. Loved each one. ❤
Lovely ornaments Nina! xx
Thank you LIN 💕
Wow!! They are all beautiful but that owl one is just gorgeous!

Hi Laura. Coasters and beer mats are ideal for these. Have a wonderful week and Happy Creating 💕
You have sparked some ideas on what to do with the woodblocks I purchased months ago. But I have not ever thought of something to do with them.
