Use stamps to create a seasonable mobile or home décor project that might hang above a table or something for the holidays. Like these star strands, they can be made into a mobile on a ring or hung from your light above the table, or strung on ribbon and hung in front of a mirror, a door way or a mantle. There are so many places you could hang them, and with the jewels added in they are sure to bring extra sparkle to your holiday décor.
Adding beads to your artwork is much easier than you might think, all you need to do is punch a hole and thread the wire then twist the wire to secure, add your beads and repeat. If you are using headpins half the work is done for you—you can just lace your end through the eye and twist.
Instructions
STEP 1:
Punch out stars from white cardstock.
STEP 2:
Stamp each star, both sides.
STEP 3:
Using embossing ink and iridescent powder, heat emboss both sides of each star.
STEP 4:
Punch holes in the top and bottom of each star.
STEP 5:
Add crystals to the bottom star and a hook to the top star. Connect the middle stars with wire adding a few crystals in between each one.
STEP 6:
Use ribbon or office hooks to hang.
STEP 7:
NOTE:In this project I attached paper with wire and beads, to make the paper weightier and a little stronger I embossed each side, this adds more texture to the paper so that the chance of tearing is less.
