Christmas Bells Update

[Scrappile]

I finished the Christmas Bells that I am going to go hang on the door knobs some of my family members.  The bottom two are Mahogany and the top three are BB, two sprayed with gold color paint and backed with felt.  The other stained and painted. These were really fun.  I will hopefully get started earlier next year and give to more people.

I’ve got so many ideas for next Christmas. Adding these to the list. How did you attach the felt?

I like those Paul. You did a great job on all the colors.

On the red on I applied I painted the back surface of the ornament with"Titebond Quick & Thick Multi-Surface glue, laid it on the felt and put weight on it over night.

The green on I sprayed the back with DURO All-Purpose Spray Adhesive, suppose to be a permanent bond.

I don't know how well either is going to work long time but the felt seems to be well stuck.  Using the spray was much easier than spreading the Titebond on.

Jason,,,, no pro, this is the first time I have used felt as a backer.  It is experiment for me!

Paul I did one like your red one years ago but I love the way you did the Mahogany ones.  You have given me some excellent ideas my head is bursting.  Awesome work on all of them.

Whoa! Me too, I don't start Christmas scrolling till a day before Christmas. For some reason when I think about it the time just jumped from January to December that fast. Very elegant projects you did here, Paul!!!!!!!!!!
