Ornaments

My grandmother and I used to make these ones for all kinds of holidays. You go to Michaels or your local craft store and they have styrofoam wreaths and balls. Then you take a small square of fabric and push it into the styrofoam with the eraser end of a pencil and the four corners stick out kinda flowery like. You cover the whole thing in little swatches of fabric. They are really pretty.

I usually spray paint the ornamnet and glue some of those small flowers on.

I put the star garland inside the balls. They are really pretty. You can also swirl colorful acrylic paint inside the balls. If you use glitter paint first and add the acrylic paint second you really get a nice effect.

I've made ornaments from card stock cut into a bell shape. Two pieces, one with a rectangle cut from the middle, are glued together once a favorite photo is placed inside, forming a frame. Then I glue a jingle bell near the bottom and thread some ribbon through a hole on the top. Also, I like making the cinnamon ornaments that smell great year after year. They're made with applesauce, cinnamon, and glue and rolled out and cut out like cut-out cookies.

those ideas sound really creative, this year i wrote my families names on christmas balls with speciual fabric paint from the brand trichem which used to be hobbytex, its alot of fun, a very easy task to do and it makes the christmas tree so much more personal and close to heart. I was influenced by an episode of days of our lives when they where celebrating christmas and they where individually putting their names on the christmas tree it was really beautiuful:)

I love to make different things. a few years ago I bought clear glass ornaments. I poured 2 different colored paints into them. They are so pretty when the colors mix together. I also crochet ornaments.

Worn on the wrist, bangles are believed to be protective bands and women always wore them as symbolic guards over their husbands. As with other ornaments, bangles today are worn by women of all ages all over India and are made of silver, gold, wood, glass, and plastic, among other materials.

Polymer clay - you can do SO MANY different things with polymer clay. Also you can make cinnamon dough ornaments.
