I made these for the small batch ornament swap. They’re layered paper in a painted frame using a vintage Christmas graphic from the 70s.
Process details:
I bought a 10-pack of 70s vintage Christmas images from an Etsy seller and then seperated it into layers for cutting. There were 11 pieces total, not counting the background.
I didn’t like the color of the background, so I brightened it up a bit with some paint. Next I started gluing down sections, adding foam and layering paper to add height and dimension before gluing the whole thing together.
For the frames, I found a six-pack of plain wood circular frames. I removed the backs, hardware, and twine hangers and put them asside for some future project. Then I painted them blue.
I cut some patterned paper the same size as the frames to serve as a new back and then glued the finished snowmen in place.
The frames looked a bit plain still so I painted some acrylic bows the same color as the snowman background and added those.
