Dollar Tree Ornament

This project was done specifically to participate in a Dollar Store linky party.  The challenge was simple:  Use something from the Dollar store for the holidays.

I'd been wanting to copy this ornament for the longest time but didn't have a snowflake so I kept putting it off.

Then on Sunday The Dollar Tree ran a flyer in the paper and since I knew I was linking up I grabbed it.  What?  The perfect snowflakes?!  Yes. One dollar per box and let me tell you, I didn't get six snowflakes in that box--I got 12!  Just sayin'.   

I actually washed the glitter that was on them off because it wasn't going to work for me.  Here they are all cleaned up.

Then I sprayed them gold.  I marvel at all the spray paint colors I've managed to accumulate.  I always wonder why in the world I would have purchased all the colors I have because I rarely remember, but I was happy to have this great gold.

Then I glittered and folded and glued and smiled and ended up with an off-center, but pretty good copycat of the ornament.  Thanks for the snowflakes, Dollar Tree!
