Hi Everyone!
Christmas is less than a month away and I'm guessing by now, you are in full prepping for the holidays mode!
Well, the Helmar Hotties girls are for sure! We have all created some fun projects to inspire you to get a little crafty this Christmas.
Welcome to Helmar's Holiday blog hop!
If you are here from sweet Jessica's blog, you're in the right place! If you just happened on here, you'll want to head on back to our Helmar blog so you don't miss a thing. ;)
I wanted to do something a little different from my normal card, so I created a Christmas pin using lots of Helmar products and eggshells. You heard it right....EGGSHELLS! :)
Here is my pin:
If you would like to see how to create the eggshell mosaic base for my pin. just check out this video.
(if you want to continue the hop then watch the video, please become a follower and/or bookmark my blog, so you can find your way back when you are finished hopping.
In the video, you saw me use lots of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and Helmar Decoupage. I also used Helamr products to assemble my pin.
The Poinsettia Die cut was pieced together with 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
I attached the poinsettia to the pin base with Helamr Scrap Dots. I love using Scrap Dots for adding floral embellishments because you can easily tip and position them exactly how you want them and it also keeps them popped up better then just gluing them down with regular glue. :)
Here is another pin that I created with the same technique.

Oh My Gosh! this is stunning! What a great way to use egg shells. In the past 2 years I have started to do egg art and, though you used chicken eggs, it is a wonderful way to use the goose egg shells that have broken while cutting. I absolutely love it. thank you so much for sharing this wonderful project idea.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
oh my goodness, it's beautiful, and so different, never heard of using eggshells, how cool is that!
OH my goodness, True :D, your poinsettia pin is to DIE FOR!!! I absolutely love it. I hope that I am blessed to win it, though your video is so terrific that it's given me a good idea how to make one for myself. Can you tell me what dies you used for the poinsettia? It is LOVELY!!!!!!!!! I'm off to purchase more Helmar products. I think I need that decoupage tub ... the rest I have. Oh, I am drooling now.
Merry Christmas!!
