Christmas is fast approaching but there is still time for creating last minute Christmas decorations for your tree, I would like to show you how quick and easy it can be using a Hambly Screenprint Overlay. 
Step 1 Gather your supplies I have used a Mini brocade overlay in gold for a festive feel, scissors, paper trimmer, stapler, thick glue and embellishments to finish off your decorations.
Step 2 Using your paper trimmer cut strips from the overlay approx 1/3 inch wide, make sure all your strips are the same width by placing one cut strip over the overlay to measure it.
Step 3 & Step 4 With your scissors cut each strip in half. Then using your stapler staple each strip together at the end.
Step 5 Here is an optional extra for a different look, crease the end of the stapled strip to form a leaf shape.
Step 6 Take a piece of card or chipboard and cut it into a small circle, using some strong glue, adhere the stapled end to the middle of the circle. Continue until the circle is full. Allow to dry
Step 7 While waiting for your glue to dry, create the finishing touches for your decorations, I have used crepe paper, vintage book paper, buttons and charms. Once dry, glue your embellishment to the front of the decoration again using your strong adhesive. Finish with some ribbon to hang from the tree.
Before I go I just wanted to say thank you to Allison for a wonderful year as part of the Hambly DT. This is my last post for Hambly Screen prints, I wish the new DT a fabulous 2012...I can’t wait to see more fabulous inspiration.
