Ornaments



So, I've had this idea of what I wanted to make for this year. But it has taken some trial and error to get the technique figured out.

I was able to find the really fine glitter at Michaels. It really makes a prettier polka dot. I also used some stick glue to make the dots.

Leah gave me the idea of using a paint pen to draw the letters on the ornaments. I had recently gotten an embroidery book with monogramming techniques - which I used to make my letters.

I am not sure if I will place a bow or not. What do you think? I had also thought about placing some silver tensile inside the balls to give it some texture. Any ideas?

Too cute! I'm all about ribbons on ornaments this year. I've already got about 5...

The ornament is very cute!

I tried to make ornaments like this for my co-workers this year. I was unable to make any that I liked so I ditched the idea and baked goodies for them instead. I didn't try the paint pen. I was trying to paint the monogram on with a brush! I dod have a few ornaments left over and I might pick up a paint pen and give it a try. Thanks for the idea.

Don't put anything in it. It's cute as it is!

not a bow, do like I've seen in boutiques, just simply tie the ribbon. No bow.
great job!!
