I have a plethora of vintage tartlette tins and I have been meaning to make vintage-y Christmas ornaments out of them. As I was looking for images for them I thought why not do something a little more season appropriate so I hopped (haha) over to The Graphics Fairy and downloaded some vintage Easter images.
First thing I did was embellish the edge of the tins with German glass glitter. I do love this glitter. I bought it about ten years ago and I still have a ton of it. It has some sort of magical quality to it where you can never use it up. I printed off the images (after resizing) on white card-stock and meticulously cut them out. Some I layered over sheet music or book page scrapbook paper. I used those foam sticky things so they weren't sitting flush with the back of the tin.
I added some additional sparkle to the edges of the images and to highlight certain areas using Ranger Stickles.
I printed the Easter Wishes banner to layer on top. And then finally I hung some beads and crystals off the bottom for some added bling.
I love the little girl in her bunny costume. She looks none too pleased to be dressed up like that.
Here are some of the Graphics Fairy images I used:
Of course I'm not exactly sure what I am going to do with them. Is there such thing as an Easter tree?
Yes there is such a thing as an Easter tree. Google it. People usually use branches and decorate them with easter bits, mostly small eggs. Your ornaments are really beautiful!
They look nice displayed as you have them.
Thank you! They were fun to make so Ill figure out some way to display them. I commandeered my necklace holder for photos so I need to come up with another idea to display. Im warming up to the idea of a little table top tree and filling it up with along with these ornaments.
These are beautiful and yes, there is such a thing as an Easter tree!
I just wondered how you did the Easter Wishes banner – was that clip art?
You did a beautiful job and have inspired me to make some!
The banner is clipart. I did a search for banner png (which is a transparent file) and then opened it in Photoshop Elements where I changed the black outline to a very pale grey and added curved text to say Easter Wishes. I hope you give them a try!
Your ornaments are absolutely gorgeous!!!! I have some very inexpensive tins, they are very thin . I am wondering if I can use them? It won’t hurt to try. LOL Thank you for sharing . Carolyn
Oh I hope you give them a try! It was one of those things I was afraid to get started with and I have no idea why. Its not like I dont have eight million of those tartlet pans or anything…
How very clever, Andrea! Do you happen to remember the font used for the “Easter Wishes” greeting on the banner?
Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Sarah – thank you!
The font is Swistblnk Banthers. It was a free download.
