I have been trying to make use of some of last years Christmas cards and using some of the smaller images I made these little dangle Christmas decorations for the tree or even for a suitable plant. When we had a lemon tree we would decorate that with any small baubles but sadly it got a bad case of scale insect and had to go so I will have to wait until our Christmas tree is up to use these.
I flattened the bottle caps with a mallet, melted the plastic inner film just enough to scrape it out completely. Punched out the images from the Christmas cards and stuck them into the bottlecaps. I then poured Diamond glaze over the image and once they were completely dry I hammered a hole at the top to string the silver thread through. This time I didn't use any glitter and kept them really simple.
What a brilliant re-cycling idea Jackie! They look wonderful! x
