Red Lead Christmas Tags and More!

Glow Bright Everyday!       Yep, we are in the holiday making mode and loving it!    We're having too much fun  making Glow Bright Scallop Ornaments Here's a few reasons why we love them!  1. They're fun to make with your own photos because everyone loves (whether or not they admit it or not) getting a photo gift. 2.  They make the sweetest keepsake.  3.  You'll hang them on your tree for years. 4.  Give scallop ornaments  instead of a card.  5.  Very Sparkly!                             Joy Scallop Ornament   These oval wood scallops are 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" - the perfect size for card and ornament making. The wood scallops are paintable, inkable, stainable, stampable, and you can stencil them too!  Let your imagination be your guide!   1. Cover wood scallop with some sweet ancestors using a uhu glue stick.  Let dry. 2. Cut off excess paper with scissors or an xacto knife.  Sand off any bits of leftover paper with an emery board. 4. Edge scallop with silver glitter. 5. Embellish with gold snowflake charm. 6. Make a silver tinsel hanger.   For a pretty color on color look we used As We Dream Stencil and a red ink pad to stencil these Red Tags.                      Cheers Ornament   Pale blues, pretty pinks and jewel toned reds make beautiful scallop ornaments. These little girls with bells and bows are so sweet.    Do a little scribble stenciling with this Yuletide Greetings Stencil and our favorite White Gel Pen, the Uni-Ball Signo.              8 New Rubber Stamps are Here & 2 New  Stencils Here!                      A FREE Earth & Sky Wings of Hope Rubber Stamp for you when you purchase $24.00 in product   - sale or not - right here, or at the Red Lead store in St. Louis.     Your free rubber stamp will be automatically sent to you.     Create your Story Bracelet    Make a bracelet that is totallyunique-just like you!  These wood bracelets are the best for turning your art into jewelry.
