Mini Magnolia Ornament Tutorial!

Hello everyone! I've gotten so many emails and questions about the plastic ornaments I made using the Mini Magnolia's. So here's my tutorial! There's LOTS of pictures, I'm sorry if they take a while to load or make your computer lag.


Supply List

Mini #3092 Tucked Tilda, Christmas Sentimen Stamp, Crafters Tacky Glue, Silver German Glass Glitter, Bakers Twine, Roses or Flowers, Crop o dile, eyelet, ribbon, Q-Tip, Oval Spellbinder Nestabilities, 2 ovals, one with your image and one with a sentiment, Plastic Ornament from Michaels (.99)



Put your stamped image and sentiment image back to back and use your Crop-o-Dile to make a hole.


Place your eyelet in the hole.


Tie your twine in the eyelet. Leaving the strings a little long. I would say 3-4 inches on each strand.


Put the image aside and get your ornament and take off the silver cap.


Pour your tacky glue inside.


Using your Q-Tip spread the glue all along the bottom of the ornament.


I made swirls to make it look like snow.


Add a few pinches of white FlowerSoft.


Shake it around covering the glue.



Then I add a little Silver German Glass Glitter and shake that around.


Now grab your image and round it around your finger.


Tada!


Squeeze it into the ball, leaving the twine out.


Make sure you hold the twine, so you can control the way your image is placed.


Now, with your pinky, or maybe a pencil, push, flattening the image.


Like this....


and this...


Now pull place the twin on each sid of the ornament, centering your image.


Pop the silver cap back on.


Add bows, flowers or whatever you like.


Here' the back.


Here's the first one I did, I decorated it a little different.


And the back.




I hope this helps, if you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Have a great day!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made an ornament using the same exact snnow but it stuck to the surfaces of the plastic covering up the picture, it was almost as if it was all staticky.The glue is an awesome Idea and less waste!

Thanks Mindy!! When I saw projects like this I wondered how on earth did they get the image so straight and not wrinkled on the inside. You've definitely made it clear and simple and I have to say "Thank You SO Much" for sharing with us. God Bless you for your generosity!!! And... your bulbs are all GORGEOUS!!!!
Hugs, Cathy-Lynn

Thank you Mindy for taking the time to teach us how to put these little Tilda's inside an ornament.. I have been so curious since I first saw yours, but knowing how busy you are didn't want to ask you to stop your business and ask to share your secret, but you did and I love it.. It is so gorgous and it looks so easy.. You are just too sweet.
Hugs, Jean
