Thread: Christmas Ornament Ideas

I have made bells using yo yo's in different sizes and putting a christmas bell on the bottom one, with some file folder
circle in the bottom one for stablility, and a ribbon on top for the loop; you can make Christmas trees two doing the
same thing with different greens for the top part and a gold start sewed on top with ribbon loop. I love homemade
christmas ornaments, I don't have many balls on my christmas tree. Our guild had ornament exchange several
years and many of those are gone now, love the memories.

Last year our family of four boys and spouses and girlfriends ages 14-29 painted blank ornaments from Hobby Lobby with acrylic paints we had left over from various projects over the years. Everyone had a great time and we came up with a few masterpieces, everything from traditional Christmas trees, landscapes, geometric shapes, and caricatures. The fun time spent together was even better than the keepsakes.

There is a nice one on today's tuts made by mdall. It would be an easy one to make. Thanks mdall for posting it.

Do you want them made only from fabric or do you work in other mediums as well? Such as polymer clay, and other craft objects?
I've been making ornaments since 1977 for my kids, and now grandkids. My DD loved them as for years her tree as a young adult was with the ornaments I had made her. This year they have a 9 foot tree, so they may have to buy a few. lol

I'll be watching this thread as well to learn more. When I find my pics I'll share a few.
