Vintage Measuring Cup Shadow Box Angel Ornaments
That same day I found three sweet little angels, and they fit perfectly inside the measuring cups. How lucky was that?
The first thing I did was apply Mod Podge to the inside of the measuring cups.
Then I sprinkled the inside with white snowy glitter, and then just a hint of red just for fun.
I did three layers of glitter, with Mod Podge applied in between each layer. The MP goes on milky white but it dries clear.
Here they are after all three layers were done. The outside of the cups will be left natural.
I glued the angels in place inside the cups, tucked in a little bit of quilt batting for a snowy cloud….
tied on some ribbon in little red bows,
used jute twine to hang the ornaments with…
and these measuring cup ornaments are ready to put on the tree.
Sprinkle some angels with love today… and smile! 🙂
Don’t forget to pin it!
Thanks so much for reading, and until next time…
keep on keepin’ on!

How clever and cute!!!
Cute, clever and creative Christmas ornaments.
They're so cute what a great idea, I love the added touch with the pearls and the hint if red, beautiful Tuula
MEGA cuteness! I have all the supplies for this too! As soon as my final is over Tuesday night I can't wait to get cleaning to get up some holiday decor and do little crafty projects 🙂
Now these are just adorable!
Love them! You are so creative. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Tuula.
Hi Tuula, you are so creative and talented and I just love these ornaments! You did a great job and they look so pretty on the Christmas tree. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Julie
These are so cute and what a really clever and creative idea. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
So adorable! I love the effect of the glitter in the cups. Have a merry Christmas!
Oh Tuula, I love, love, LOVE these sweet ornaments! You are such a clever lady 🙂 The pearls make each one look very classy and the glitter is just too pretty. Thank you for sharing such loveliness with us. Blessings to you and big hugs!
What a cute idea! Perfect for a chef's tree!
Now that is just too cute! Love it.
Of course I love these – there are angels and there are aluminum measuring cups. I did not know to go over the top of glitter with Mod Podge. Does it keep it shiny and stable? Love the way they look on the tree.
Way cool! Absolutely beautiful. It's amazing to me that anyone could "see" such an ending for some little angels and 3 old measuring cups! You are truly gifted.
I’m about 3 years behind commenting on these. Found them from your current post. So beautiful. They literally took my breath away!!! Do you ever sell any of these small creations? Dona
Thanks Dona! I did sell Christmas creations when I had my etsy shop, but that was while ago. These were sold back then. Now I’m just happy to create and share.
