Nutcracker, Please!

Hello Glitterinas!

Thank you for opening up this post 

of 

Pink Glitter!

Over the summer the grand~darlings and I had 

several conversations about this year's 

Christmas tree theme.

Santa theme almost always makes the list....

as does Angels....

and silver....

along with a super hero or two!

But this year Nutcrackers were discussed.

Ooooh, that was my favorite and it soon was 

decided that the theme of this year's tree would be

Nutcrackers!

Since I love, love all things pink,

the supporting color was decided, also!

I found some ornaments large and small 

online and ordered them.....

.....and then one day I found some Hallmark gift tags 

that were.....guess what?!

Characters from the Nutcracker!

There's sweet Clara, 

lovely Sugar Plum,

and two versions of handsome Nutcracker!

I made some round, crepe paper rosettes 

and punched out some paper snowflakes 

for mounting the gift tags.

Each tag was glued onto a rosette and I added 

a snowflake around the edge of each.

Hooray for hot glue!

Each gift tag had a hanger 

already attached.

Perfect!

I decided to make some of  tags into 

larger ornaments.

I used my Martha circle punch for the 

base of these.

Press, press, press.....

Then a rosette and a gift tag.....

I hung each one up as I 

completed it.....

and I quickly had two stacks of 

Nutcracker ornaments for the tree!

A stack of large ones.....

......and a stack of smaller ones!

I think they will look quite nice on 

the Christmas tree!

Do you choose a theme for your tree 

each year?

How do you decorate your tree,

Glitterinas?

Leave me a note and let me know, please!

I enjoy reading your comments and the thoughts

 you leave for me!

Until next time,

Tammy
