Christmas Ornament!

Good Morning & Welcome, High Hopes Fans!
I am back with a quick and easy Christmas Ornament.

My post today features one of  last year stamp release
called "Snowman Mini Set" from High Hopes Stamps.

The image was embossed in "Black Sparkle" embossing powder from Ranger, onto watercolor paper and watercolors with "Gansai Tambi" watercolors. For the scarf I used my gold jelly roll pen. I also add my favorite bling... diamond stickles on the hat. It's hard to see but it is there!

  

I love wapping and making my own Christmas ornaments and tags. I always think beautiful packaging makes a gift seem more special. Brown paper is my favorite paper to used on my Christmas presents. I make sure it's thick enough to prevent any pattern from showing through. 

Here is a project I did last year with this adorable Snowman Mini Set!

Supplies Used:
Snowman Mini Set from High Hopes, Candy Cane Lane DP from S.U Star Button, White & Gold Pen, Vintage Photo, Diamond Stickles, Matte Multi Medium, Jute, Ribbon, Gesso and Wood Diecut Ornament Tags

First measure out how much brown sugar will fit in your jars or container.

This type of mason jar fit 1 cup of brown sugar!

So I used 1 cup of bs and 1/2 cup of coconut oil.

I mixed the coconut oil and brown sugar together.

Your scrub will look something like this when it's been mix enough.

No sugar lumps or chunks of oil still showing!

This smell so amazing and is a wonderful exfoliator for your body or face.

Here's what I used to decorated my handmade coconut oil and sugar scrub.
