Hi Guys!!! It's day 3 of our week of handmade Christmas ornaments! I think today's ornament is my favorite so far! It's a Melissa Frances Farm House Ornament that I covered in paper.
Supplies Used: Melissa Frances Farm House Ornament, Stickles, Precision File Set, hot glue gun, off-white acrylic paint, Bottle Brush Trees, paper, Petite Tinsel Green, Glossy Accents, and roses.
Here are the easy steps to creating this little guy. (The farm house ornament comes flat. )
- Paint the base, and window & door lattice with off-white acrylic paint.
- Trace the house and roof parts onto cardstock, cut out, and glue with Glossy Accents.
- Sand the edges and folds to get an aged look.
- Hot glue the house together, and then add the roof.
- Add the hanger, and add hot glue to the inside for extra strength.
- Hot glue the assembled house to the base.
- Decorate with roses, petite tinsel, and bottle brush trees.
- Add Stickles to the roof line, and you're done!!

What a great ornament this makes, and could be part of a small village too if you didn't want to hang on the tree! TFS!

1.How likely is it that we will follow an economic growth path where emissions from thawing permafrost are about 45-46 gigatons (altogether) by 2040? And annual anthropogenic emissions are 45-46 gigatons by 2050?
2.Relatively speaking, how important is it that all emissions from thawing permafrost will total 45-46 gigatons by 2040, which is about 140% of total anthropogenic emissions in 2010? (Of course, such emissions will grow for a long time after 2040.)
