Glass Ornament with Quilled Snowflake

The Ornament

Closeup of the Ornament

Hi all! This is an ornament I made to enter into the Michael's Holiday Craft Contest. We had to use all three of the mystery items which were an ornament, beads, and ribbon. I came up with this concept while I was falling asleep the other night. I basically quilled all the elements of the snowflake outside of the ornament then assembled it piece by piece inside the ornament (like a ship in a bottle). It was a lot of fun to make and my fingers are crossed that it wins something, however, it's up against some stiff competition!

Materials Used:

• Glass ornament
• Seed beads in various shades of blue, silver and clear.
• Acrylic discs decorative accents
• Alcohol inks in various shades of blue
• Quilling tools
• Bright white quilling paper
• White glue
• Overhead transparency
• Ribbon with "lacey" edging (to mimic a snowflake)
