anyone for sledding?

Cute little sled ornaments.

Bells

Today I just used some leftover gift tags and a couple of bells to make these cute jingly ornaments.

Penguins

Tonight it is penguins made of light bulbs. Very wintery. I love penguins.

And snowmen again

These were made from old lightbulbs.

Puzzle piece snowflakes

Snowflakes made of puzzle pieces then painted white.

Pine cone angels

These are so super cute. :)

Hot glue snowflakes

Not my favorite. I think I needed extra fine glitter to do these. But I have my extra fine glitter at work.

Angels we have heard on high

More ribbon angels. Different than the last ones. I love the way the light glows through the ribbon making them glow.

Pretty ribbon pinwheels

I made these out of fan folded wired ribbon then glued the cap from two broken glass balls. I almost threw the caps away but flattened one and thought it looked pretty so I wanted to use them somehow.

Christmas tummys

I saw these in pinterest and thought I would make some out of some plastic ball ornaments I had. They are kinda cute I thought.

Little gifts

I wrapped some little boxes to hang on the tree. Super cute. :)

Wire ribbon angels

For these adorable angels, I fan folded wire ribbon. First I fan folded 10 pleats into my wire ribbon. Then I fan folded 7 pleats in another piece of ribbon. I stapled the top of the 10 pleat ribbon then I cut off any excess at the top. Next I stapled the 7 pleat fan fold in the middle. Then I glued the 7 pleat fanfold on top of the 10 pleat fanfold and spread them out. Then I glued a bell on top for the head. Finally I added a flat back jewel on the front to hide where the pieces come together.

Santa's Nice List

Santa's nice list ornaments. One is made with a spool of thread. The other is made of a straw.

Snowmen

Sock snowmen with twig  arms and rolled paper carrot noses.

Cookie sheet ornaments

Cookie sheet ornaments made from baby food container lids. I painted them silver and cut out cardboard cookies to glue on them. Then I made a rolling pin out of rolled paper and toothpicks.

Jar lid ornaments

Today I have ornaments made of jar lids.

Owls

These owls are made of scrapbook paper and toilet paper tubes. They are so adorable.

Polar bears

My husband really wanted me to make a polar bear ornament so after a few days thought, here's what I came up with. I used an old pair of socks, some left over black and white fleece, a plain white ball ornament, a bit of ribbon, a couple of beads and a permanent marker to make my polar bear ornaments. I took the sock and cut it down so I only have the top of the sock to work with. I used a piece of fleece for the nose with a bead under it to give it more depth. I used white fleece to make the ears and then I drew on the eyes and mouth with a permanent marker. I made the hat from the sock by tying a ribbon around the song leaving part of it sticking out. then I cut the part that was sticking out so it would look like fringe. they look almost exactly the same but I did make two.

Hot air balloons

I saw this on pinterest and thought it was the best idea. Its easy. You just make a basket out of cardboard and string (or wire as I did). The you take the hanger off your standard ball ornament. Attach your basket to it then put it back on the ball and glue a ribbon to hang it from the "top" of the hot air balloon (the ball). It is adorable. And I found the perfect balls to use for it. So far for all my ornment materials I have only spent $7.51.

The North Pole

I made some cardboard north pole ornaments. Not much to say. I just cut out the poles and the signs, painted them and when they were dry I put the stripes on the poles and then glued the white signs to red cardstock and wrote the words on the signs. Then glued the signs on the poles and attached a ribbon for hanging. Then I used a bit of hot glue and glitter for the snow at the bottom. What an easy and cute craft.

Walking in a winter wonderland...

Snowflakes or icicles made of hot glue on crumpled foil. Then painted with glitter glue to add some sparkle. :)

Another snowman...

It's amazing how many things just make good snowmen ornaments. This one is a trader joe's drinkable yogurt bottle. I made a hat from cardstock and a fleece scarf. So cute.

Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree

Today I made rolled paper Christmas trees. It is just like it sounds. You cut strips of scrapbook paper in different sizes. ( I cut 3", 2.5",2",1.5",1" &.5" wide strips.) Then I rolled them up as tight as possible and glued the ends. Then I used hot glue to put the rolls together to make the tree then I added the bead decorations and the ribbon.

Frame ornaments

Still sick. :(

Cardboard ornaments

Still not feeling great today but these ornaments are cute anyway. They are pretty self explanatory.

Snowflakes

Tonight I made snowflakes out of the bottoms of empty plastic bottles. I painted them blue then painted the  white snowflakes. Not the best I've done but I wasn't feeling great today so I opted for something easy.

Another snowman

Todays ornament is another snowman. This time I made the hats out of cardboard and the plastic cups that hold the  icing in the refrigerated pillsbury cinnamon rolls (canned). I cut the cardboard circles just a little larger than the cups (about a half inch). Then I cut out the centers of the cardboard circles and glued them to the cups. I painted them black and added the ribbin and little flower bead then glued them on to some plain white glass balls that I had. Then I made rolled paper carrot noses and uttered puff pain for the eyes and mouth. They are so cute. I made two but only photographed one.
