I have a big class coming up next week and I am trying to get everything ready......a few months ago my niece asked if I could have a class for about 19 of her friends and family.....of course I can but what do you want me to teach for a young and mature group together......hmmmm.......the last time I had this large group we made the large Martini Decoupage candy dishes and they all seemed to enjoy .........so this time we wanted it to be a Christmas theme so I remembered one year at the Paper Crown we did a Christmas themed Tray out of old frames and handles...below is the one I did for that class....
So I have collected old frames that will work . I have also painted some and left some in their original color....... they all need handles so those have been purchased and collected to match each frame.......the content under the glass is ephemera like old Christmas cards, ledger paper, old book pages, stickers, some new scrapbook paper, dresden pieces, ribbon, lace .......before you finish the back you sprinkle some mica flakes or snow glitter to make it sparkle and look like snow.........the photo below is the one I made for this class and will give it for one of the door prizes......
Anyway it should be fun with this group........hopefully I will have photos of their finished trays.........and this will also be my last class for 2021...........hopefully 2022 will be a little different and we can squeeze a few more classes in than we did last year!
Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving Day yesterday and ready for the holiday season to begin.........Hello Christmas..........
That tray is GORGEOUS, Jackie! I know everyone will have a fun time!

That man in black ice skating is one of my favorite paintings! Your doorprize tray is delightful! Such interesting ephemera you always find and design with, Jackie! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Your class should be fun, wish I lived close by so I could go home with a delightful new tray for the holidays!
