Handmade Holidays 2016: Quatrefoil Ornaments + RAFFLE!

It’s around that time of the year! Stencil1 is honored to once again be part of Handmade Holidays Blog Hop, along with many amazing craft bloggers. For this year’s blog hop, we’ve created ornaments using our new Stencil1 Quatrefoil Ornament Kit. With these ornaments, you can either use them as traditional ornaments and hang them on your tree over your fireplace, or customize them and use them as gift tags!

Keep reading to find out how you can win our Stencil Quatrefoil Ornament Kit and more great prizes from this year’s Handmade Holidays Blog 2016 sponsors!

Let’s get started!

Things you will need: Stencil1 Quatrefoil Ornament Kit, Stencil1 Letter and Numbers Stencil, Clearsnap’s ColorBox Ink Pads, and a paint brush.

First, paint the base of the ornament with a metallic color. This is a guaranteed eye-catcher! Here, we’re using the silver metallic color of the ink pad. What’s so great about using Clearsnap’s Color Box Ink Pads is that the ink pad gives off enough paint without ever having to blot excess paint. No more paint bleeding underneath the stencil!

Once the ornament has dried, grab your letter stencil. Here, we’re using a letter from the custom monogram stencil we created using Stencil’1 Custom Monogram Stencil generator by Amazon! It comes with one small monogram and one larger one all on one 8.5″ x 11″ sheet so you can personalize almost anything. Try it out!

Using your next color, load up your brush and paint over the stencil. Again, we are using the green color from Clearsnap’s Color Box Ink Pad.

Once your ornament has completely dried, it’s ready to be hung on your tree or on a gift. Just don’t forget to add a string!

Our Quatrefoil Ornaments is the perfect way to add handmade touch to any of your holiday gifts or décor. What makes it even more special is that these ornaments are made sustainably by a company that rehabilitates and enables its workers, providing them with shelter and jobs.
