My grandmother is having a ornament exchange at this year's Christmas get-together, and this is the ornament that I made for the event. It was really simple, and I love how it turned out.
Time: 10 minutes
Supplies:
1 clear ornament (mine came from Micheal's)
Fake snow or confetti (glitter would be cute too)
Natural berries and greenery
Block letters (I got a whole bag of these at Wal-Mart for $3 in the necklace/bracelet making section)
Ribbon
Glue
Tweezers
Steps:
1. Glue letters together making sure the word is small enough to fit inside the ornament
2. Fill ornament with snow, berries, and greenery
3. Place word inside using tweezers (I'm sure you could glue the stuff down, but I just left everything in free form with mine)
WOW this is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteAdorable idea - plan on attaching them to cookie exchange bags !
ReplyDeleteI found this via pinterest. Thanks so much for sharing. I love this ornament.
ReplyDeleteI just came across this via pinterest. Loving this! How long does the greenery stay green. That would be my only concern with using natural greenery.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has this packed away, but when she gets out her ornaments this year, I will take a look and see how it fared. I was a little concerned about it too, but it stayed green for at least a month for sure. Hopefully it's still green when she gets it out! If not, she can replace it in about 2 minutes. Thanks for asking!
DeleteThinking you could spray it with green floral paintspray to keep the color..
Deletevery cute, going to make some for gifts:)
ReplyDeleteWas looking for a craft to do with my daughter during Thanksgiving break! This is perfect, thanks! :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! How did you get the snow to not stick on the inside of the glass?
ReplyDeleteIt's the loose kind of snow, so I had no problems with sticking.
DeleteJust beautiful!
