Ive had gingerbread on the mind lately.
I mean, dont we all need some extra color and sweetness these days?
And with some wooden beads Id recently picked up, the idea just came together.
I actually made these first ona live video over on our Facebook page be sure to check it out!
I drilled mine so that the pick would tilt at an angle on the dowel.
With white paint, add a crossing pattern to the roof of the house.
Add decorative swirls, dots and scallops to the front of the house.
Continue adding details all the way around the house until youre happy with it.
Sprinkle immediately with Diamond Dust and pour off the excess.
Painting the Candy
Start by painting the surface of the wood slice white.
Let dry and repeat on the other side.
Once the paint is completely dry, paint on some Mod Podge and then cover with Diamond Dust.
Spread out and shake off the excess.
Repeat with the other side once dried.
Paint the wooden balls white.
Once dried, add horizontal or vertical stripes in red or green.
Once dried, paint on some Mod Podge and then roll in the Diamond Dust.
Assembling the Decorative Planter Pick
Place one of the beads onto the dowel.
Add a bow and then top with the wood slice lollipop.
Use some hot glue to hold the pieces in place if needed.
Add another ribbon and then a birdhouse onto the dowel.
Place another bead (using some glue to hold it in place) and then another bow.
Finally, glue the third bead to the bottom of the arrangement.
I just love how the gingerbread themed decorative pick turned out.
I even made a second one to give to my sister (dont tell her ).
Can you believe that the day after I put them out it actually snowed?
It was like the icing on the sugary goodness!
