Deck the halls ...

Just a little bit of fun today!  As we were putting up our tree this week, I was looking at all the shiny baubles and wondering if I could somehow use the gorgeous Banana Frog stamps to jazz them up a little.  After a little thought (and a bit of trial and error!) I came up with these!

My secret was carbon paper!  I chose my stamp - I used one from the Tropical Garden set.  Simple lines work best - Retro Snowflakes would be fab, too.

Stamp your image on a piece of scrap paper and then cut a piece of carbon paper to the same size.  Wrap them around your bauble and simply trace over with a pencil or embossing tool.  It is a bit fiddly but just flatten each bit out as you do it.  Don't worry if you make a mistake - the ink wipes off with a baby wipe.

Once your image has been transferred to the bauble, simply go over the lines with glitter glue!  Twinkly Banana Frog baubles!
