Christmas Ornaments

I love all kinds of ornaments.

I could never go with just one theme on our Christmas tree 

because we have too many precious ornaments that we've collected over the years. 

We have some that my mother-in-law sewed, 

some that my boys made in preschool, 

and we even have one that my husband painted when he was in kindergarten!

I've made a few over the years that I thought we could take a look back at. . . 

For this one, I used a clear ornament and filled it with punched paper hearts.

You can have a little paradise on your tree with this one.

It's a glass ball filled with sand and tiny shells.

This one is covered with pieces of map.

I made several and stamped words on them like "peace," "love," and "joy."

You can go here to read more about them.

What kind of ornaments have you created over the years?

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Luke 6:36

Paper Heart Ornaments

Last week I showed you several projects you can make using old books,

and I have one today that uses the pages from old books. . .

 

 

paper heart ornaments.

 

I used a 3/4" heart punch and some old book pages.

I filled the bulbs about half full then tied a piece of ribbon and jute around the top.

 

 

I got the clear bulbs at Hobby Lobby.

 

These would make cute gifts if you've got some last minute gifts to give.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and God bless.
