I love ornaments. And most all of our favorites are made by Seasons of Cannon Falls. You see them at shops but they are near impossible to find online. I saw this very sparkly, very 50s, repro ornament at the shops the other day. I nearly bought but realized I had all the stuff on hand. So a bad of mini balls, some super stiff felt, spangly trim and glue gun later, ta da…
Isn’t she a beaut?!
Hope you’re in an ornament mood because I might have made 2 or 3 more. Two things came together… 1 – last year I remembered to collect a bag of Christmas crafty supplies and packed them away with the decorations to be discovered this year and 2 – I found glue sticks for my glue gun! Game on!
Christmas is definitely a time for gaudy and fun! I might need to make a few ornaments, because when we were decorating our tree on Saturday two ornaments fell and broke.
I love ornaments too! I keep joining ornament swaps, and we may have to get a bigger tree next year to fit them all!
I love little trees – what a great one. 🙂 Love the idea of packing away holiday supplies. Thanks for the tip!
I love it and little kojo earlier. totally great idea to have little miniatures hanging about.
I’ve been a sequin fan(fanatic) in the past, broke that habit this year and just did simple felts. I think I’ll try this bead idea for next year. Thanks for the inspiration.
Ooooh! Super sparkle! Just love it. My son came home with something similar. A tree out of popsicle sticks and gems on the sticks. In the center his class foto. Where did you find the mini balls?
Is that the same as Midewest of Canon Falls? Love all the ideas for homemade ornaments. Next year!
