Sugar & Spice

As promised here are some pics of the prim projects i've been working on.

its all Ornies im making for my primtiive Sugar n Spice Tree

first up are gumdrops!

I posted some single pictures but you can click on the link to see slide show of everything plus a couple extra photos

Gen's ornies


I used a 2.5 ball of styrofoam, cut off the bottom, so it would sit flat. Punched a hole in the top using a toothpick and inserted some glue and rusty wire to use as hanger. Took my fingers and shaped the ball to look more like a gumdrop, this takes some time to do. Then i painted the styrofoam and while the paint was still wet sprinkled with glitter. Woila gumdrops

i made 3 different sizes.


I typed up a gingerbread recipe and printed it on a prim tag gonna hang these using homespun. Not sure if i like the tag look or not, IF you gals have a better suggestion on how to do the recipe to hang on my tree please leave me a comment I'd appreciate it i'm up for any suggestions you may have.

next up is a pic of the gingers and candy canes i bought. Gingers i bought at a local store called Loose change...the candy canes i bought at joanne fabrics for half off last weekend :)






Last but not least these candy canes i made myself using chenille stems: I took 2 white and 1 red and just twisted them together into the shape of a can I made these for Greg's tree. And some for some swaps im doing I need to rub them still with cinnamon and add some mica flakes to prim them up first tho.



Next week hopefully i'll have some cinni dough ornies made up to add to the tree if those turn out i'll take snaps of those as well.


I have the tree up and have the birdseed lights on it thats about it til i get all my ornies together. Not sure besides the cinni bunz if i'll make anything else or not. I plan on adding some popcorn and cranberry garland to it. Would love to have some orange or apple slices but can't find any right now. But stay tuned hard to tell what I'll end up putting on it
