mama enjoyed my leopard print ornaments so much she showed up with some glass ornaments and threatened i wouldn't get any presents this Christmas if i didn't make her some too.
i kid. although i was surprised she didn't drop the fact she was in labor with me for 36 hours. i would have.
she politely asked and i told her absolutely, but had to break it to her they probably wouldn't be gracing her tree this year. my fingers needed a mod podge break.
i've gotten some e-mails on what i used, so before i forget and with all the materials pretty much on sale i thought i'd kind of explain how i did them. sorry there's not a picture tutorial...i'm just not coordinated enough to mod podge and work my camera at the same time.
i used this shiny leopard print wrapping paper from hobby lobby. it was like $5 a roll and truthfully for the dozen i made i only used a yard or so. then i peeled the white backing off so your left with just a thin foil. then i cut the leopard foil in dime sized squares.
i grabbed some craft glass ornaments in a variety of sizes (the large ones are actually the easiest to work with i thought) taking off the tops. pour some mod podge in a container and add a little water so it's not so thick. then i dipped the pieces in the mod podge and placed them overlapping a little on the ornament. once i covered it and it had dried, i went back and brushed about 4 coats of mod podge over the ornament letting it dry after each coat. on the last coat i sprinkled clear glitter over it and that's it!!

Please please please help me!
How did you pull the paper apart? I am having trouble getting it to separate.
