DIY Ornaments-Day 16
Fly with you! Here are some flitterific and easy ideas for your own tree or to give to friends.Basic Cardboard Ornaments
What you need: Paperboard, pictures, glue stick, a needle and thread
[*]If you're printing out images, print two of the picture you want for your ornament. Both should face opposite directions.
[*]Glue one image on the paperboard and carefully cut it out
[*]Glue the other image on the other side
[*]Carefully poke a hole with the needle (BE CAREFUL, needles can be sharp!)
[*]Thread a string through the hole and tie a loop knot
Bonus: A treetoper for mini Christmas trees!
[*]Glue both images on one side of the paperboard, you'll be cutting two seprate circles
[*]Create a paper tube and glue the cardboard circles to either side
I'm putting these cardboard ornaments on my mini Christmas tree. The images I used are 12 days of Chirstmas ornaments from Pixie Hollow.
Glitter Ball Ornaments
What you need: Empty glass ball ornament, floor wax and glitter
[*]Carfully remove the top of the glass ball and save it
[*]Pour a little bit of floor wax in the ball and be careful. A funnel helps.
[*]Scrunch up a paper towel and use it to cover the open slot. Shake the ornament up until it is all covered. Pour off the excess on another paper towel
[*]Pour a bit of glitter in and shake it up again
[*]Replace the top of the ornament. Feel free to decorate it with stickers if you want!
Present Ornaments
What you need: A foam block, wrapping paper, tape, ribbon and a paper clip
This one's easy. Wrap the block just like wrapping a normal present and tie a ribbon. Unfold a paper clip and poke it through the foam. This will be your hanger.
Plush Heart Ornaments
What you need: Scrap paper, pins, fabric, scissors, needles and thread, and cotton stuffing
[*]I like to draw a heart template on scrap paper (by folding the paper in half and drawing half a heart). Then I cut it out
[*]Pin the heart on a piece of fabric. BE CAREFUL as pins are sharp
[*]Cut out two identical hearts
[*]Pin the hearts down with the good sides visible. Sew them together leaving one space open for stuffing
[*]Stuff the heart and stitch the open side. Secure your stitch by tieing a loop knot.
Why not decorate your heart with buttons, ribbons or strips of other fabric? It doesn't even have to be a heart. It can be a teddy bear.
Hope you enjoy! :)
