Rustic Snowman Christmas Ornament Tutorial

Hi everyone! Tammy here with you today with a fun rustic Christmas ornament tutorial. I love Christmas time and making ornaments has always been a family tradition in our home. This year we have a rustic theme for our Christmas tree and this fun snowman ornament fits perfectly! 

This is how I made it...

Supplies:

Proxxon Model Building and Engraving Set

Wood pieces

Ribbon

Fine tip Sharpie marker

Directions:

Use a medium size drill bit and create small holes in the top of a small piece of wood, two holes in the middle piece, 

and one hole in the top of the bottom pieces of wood.

String ribbon through the holes and tie double knots to hold the wood pieces together.

Add decoration to the wood pieces with the Sharpie and hang on your tree! 

I love how this turned out! It really goes with our theme this year. I hope this shows you how easy it it to use the Proxxon Model Building and Engraving Set to create Christmas ornaments of your own.

 Hi everyone! Tammy here today with a tutorial on how to personalize charm lockets with the Proxxon Glass Engraving Tool. I purchased one of these charm holders, and I decided to personalize it with my initial. Here is how I did it...

Supplies:

Proxxon Glass Engraving Tool

Glue Dots Removable

Printed "T" template

Paper punch .75"

Directions:
Print the initial to match the size of the space where you will be engraving. My space was a little under .75"

Use a paper punch to cut out the initial.

Place a removable Glue Dot on top of the template

Place the template face up on the back of the glass.

Use the Proxxon Glass Engraving Tool to etch the initial onto the glass.

Carefully remove the template and dust off any remaining dust from engraving. Fill in any missing areas of the engraving.

Add charms and a chain.

I love how this turned out so much that I think I may be making some of these for my friends for Christmas! (shhh don't tell anyone)

DIY Engraved Halloween Party Glasses Featuring The Proxxon Glass Engraving Kit

Hi everyone! Tammy here with you today with a fun tutorial on how to use the Proxxon Glass Engraving Kit to make these cute Halloween party glasses. Here is how I did it...

Supplies:

Proxxon Complete Glass Engraving Kit

Champagne glasses from the Dollar Store

Ribbon for decoration

Feather hair clip for decoration

 Directions: 

Start with a Dollar Store champagne glass and an image you want to engrave on the glass.

Place a couple of Glue Dots on top of the image and place image, facing out, inside of the glass

Use the Glass Engraving tool to trace the image.

When the image is all traced, remove the image from the inside of the glass and correct any missing spots on the engraved image on the glass.

Tie a bow to the stem of the glass for decoration.

I added a feather alligator clip to add a fun decoration to the bow. I recommend you use removable decorations, so you can easily wash the glass after the party. I really love how these glasses turned out and I can't wait to share them with my friends at my Halloween party :)

Back To School Engraved Teacher's Gift

Hi everyone, Tammy here with you today with a fun back to school teacher's gift tutorial. I can't believe it's almost back to school time already! I love to give my daughter's teacher a bouquet of flowers on the first day back so this year I decided to kick it up a little and add some decorations to the vase.

 Supplies I used:

Proxxon Scroll Saw

Proxxon Glass Engraving Kit

Dollar Store vase

Pencils

Ribbon

Scissors

Text image

Glue Dots 

  

Directions:

 Cut a piece of decorative ribbon about 18 inches and run a line of Glue Dots on the back of it.

 

Use a Proxxon Scroll Saw to cut pencils a length that will allow space for engraving at the top of the vase you are using.

 

Attach the pencil to a Glue Dot on the back of the ribbon.

 Measure the circumference of the vase and attach enough pencils, to the top of the Glue Dots on the ribbon, to go all the way around the perimeter of the vase.

 

 When all pencils are attached to the ribbon, add a couple of glue dots to the vase and wrap the pencils around the vase. Tie a tight bow to keep the pencils close to the vase. You can also seal the bottom of the pencils with some clear nail polish to keep the lead from staining any surface the vase is sitting on.

 Next, print out a sentiment you would like to use, and trace it onto the top of the vase with a Proxxon Engraving Tool.

When I find out the name of my daughter's teacher, I will add that to the vase also.

 

That's it, all that is left to do is add flowers to the vase and head back to school! I hope this has given you some ideas for easy and cute teacher's gifts you can create with your Proxxon Scroll Saw and Proxxon Engraving Kit.
