Victorian Christmas Source Book With 10 Projects 75 Victorian Scraps & Cards

Victorian Christmas: Source Book With 10 Projects : 75 Victorian Scraps Plus Four Christmas Cards Using traditional Victorian methods of decoupage and painting techniques such as faux-plaid and simple gilding, the authors have designed ten Christmas gifts that anyone can make. 75 embossed cut-outs on 18 sheets. The scraps are facsimiles of original 19th century designs. This nifty package provides step-by-step instructions for 10 projects. The technique is basically a variant of decoupage, but most of the cutting has already been done for you. As Victorian Christmas explains, the lovely scraps can be used to decorate a cookie tin, candy box, mince pie platter, centerpiece, wassail bowl, potpourri holder, Christmas candle, Christmas tree bucket, Christmas crackers and Christmas decorations. Sprinkled throughout are beautiful photographs and paragraphs explaining various Victorian customs, charming festive quotations from literature, and seasonal recipes.
