! Please visit My Google Drive to download the templates. They are for personal use ONLY !

We are really getting into the spirit of things here in the Corda household, specially since I have been designing some Christmas labels (found HERE at out Facebook shop) and the little Lucia girl I made.

Now I wanted to make some decorations and share a tutorial with you all. These are so quick and easy, you will make tons of them!

Supplies needed

* Printer

* Patterned paper of your choice OR color pencils to color the templates.

* Items to decorate with, glitter, beads etc. Whatever you want!

*Glue or tape (preferably double sided tape, but normal works too).
* Scissors or craft knife.

Step 1

* Print the template of the bauble you want to decorate. You will need 4 of each design.
* You can also print on patterned paper using a low opacity so the template is barely visible.
* OR you can print it once and use that as a template on the patterned paper!

Step 2

Cut out the design from the paper.

Step 3

* Score each piece down the middle with a scoreboard

*Or you can use a ruler and mechanical pencil without the lead out

* OR carefully fold them.

Step 4

Decorate!

Step 5

Glue or tape three of the pieces together.

Step 6

Put a piece of thread down the middle of the decoration. Add pearls and other decoration if you like.

Glue or tape to the inside of the design to secure.

Step 7

Glue or tape the last piece on.

Done! :)

See how easy that was!? When you have made it once you will have gotten the hang of it and there is nothing stopping you!

Freebie: Lucia girl for Saint Lucy's Day and Feast of Saint Lucy, Santa Lucia and Sankta Lucia

I have had this lovely little digital stamp from The Graphics Fairy for ages and have had the want to do something with it for just as long, but I have never really known what!

I have returned to it time and time again to see if inspiration would strike, but it did not until today (or tonight ;) ). I would make her into a girl celebrating Saint Lucy's Day ( "Saint Lucia" here in Sweden).

This is what the finished piece looks like. I am really proud of how it turned out! :)

Renaissance Color Palette

I am going to paint a wooden lockbox, and I have been inspired by the Renaissance lately. But what colors are appropriate? Here I have created a easy overview palette with color swatches with the most commonly used colors of the period.
