Chiristmas Inchies Version 2

Well here is the second set of Christmas inchies in traditional colors.

Please click on picture to see larger.

Remember each square can be easily be made into a larger project all on it's own.







I did all the backgrounds first.

- red paper, green paper, white paper

- then paint 3 squares, green , red and white glitter

- then I used plastic wrap on one, stamped on white circles with a pencil on another, and added a metallic sheen to the last one



Square "1 Christmas Tree:

- red painted background
- triangle cut out of green painted paper
- trunk is little rectangle from a book page
- little gems for decoration




Square #2 Candy Cane "J": 

- green painted background
- cane cut out of white paper
- painted or colored red stripes
- little bit of glitter glue






 Square #3 Holly:

- draw on little musical notes with sharpie or cover inchie with sheet music
- cut holly leaves out of green paper
- add veins to the leaves with green marker
- use eraser end of pencil and a little red paint stamp in some circles for berries



Square #4 Christmas Lights:

- paper is painted with white glitter paint
- using fine sharpies and markers draw out lights





Square #5 Christmas Wreath:

- red painted background
- draw on a "o" with glue
- cut little squares of tissue, crumple and stick on glue
- add embellishment





Square #6 Poinsettia:

- green painted background with piece of plastic wrap placed on it before drying  
- cut out petal shapes from assorted red papers
- little gems added to center




Square #7 Santa:

- green paper background
- cut circle out of brown paper
- cut hat out or scrap of red felt
- glue on mini pompom
- glue on googly eyes
- pink pencil crayon on cheeks
- add scrap of white fun fur for beard



Square #8 Bird in Tree:

- cover background with circle stamps from pencil eraser in off white paint
- paint or draw on silver tree branches trying to form that "Y"
- I used a punch but you could just draw a bird for the tree
- add a little glitter snow




Square #9 Gingerbread Man:

- red painted background
- cut out gingerbread man out of brown paper
- add details with white gel pen and sharpie
- add a few sequins





That 's it your done.  Mount on black paper and add to your growing collection.











I find myself doodling out more and more inchie designs. They are getting to be addictive.







Hope you give them a try and we will see you soon.
