I've made these for several years now - always seem to get a good response, and they're very easy (and relatively inexpensive!). |
I did a bunch of ornaments today. I surprised myself how many I got done. I love my glue gun. Until I burn myself. That hurts. Pictures coming soon! I did start a tuterial on the bell ornaments.

That's the ornies I got done today. While I was putting these on QB, I was cutting out rag ball ornies to get sewn up. I'm almost done cutting those out.
Then I have to start painting my santa's I've been working on. Sure hope I can get the faces painted right. I'm not a super good painter. Any body else make any ornies today??? |
I have a lot more to do yet. I'll be glad to get some of these supplies worked up. I know I have tons more. I just have to figure out which tote they are in. :-)
I love after Christmas clearances. You can find all sorts of things you can buy and rework them to make them look so much better. I will be making more handmade ornies. I have a lot of sites to go to that I saved from this thread. |
WOW....you are such a fast worker,not many will be able to keep up with you! Love the bells,but everything is very nice.

Re marbled glass ornaments - When I did them w/ DD, one of the paints we used was a metallic. Gold w/ green and red, silver with blue and white, etc. Sorry, no pic - they are all packed away!

Your ornaments are lovely thank you for sharing and for starting this topic. I have bookmarked it as there are some wonderful ideas and links.

Thanks for posting all these links! I hope to find the time to look through them all!
|
Love all the ideas! Now I just have to decide which to try first!
|
Thanks so much for all the links to patterns!
|
You sure have made some wonderful ornaments! Patrick Lose last book had a cute stocking and mitten ornament. I have made a few.
|
Thank you for posting this great question and for all the fabulous replies.
|
Your ornaments are really neat! I have no additional ideas to offer as I haven't done these but I might try a couple of the type you show. Thanks!

I've made a ton of these, people who have bought them have come back when they have a new family member so they can be sure everyone has one. It's just a styrofoam ball, covered in fabric, with the name and year cross stitched on it.

OMG!!! Thank you so very much for posting this! I have made these before and was thinking about them just the other day, but have misplaced my instructions! And here you have just handed them to me! Copied and pasted as a Word document now, and saved on my computer for future reference!
These do make extremely pretty ornaments. I have been thinking of making them this year for my bible study class. They make up really pretty using silver and gold paints. I love the silver with blue and/or purple. I also like to add a sheer bow on the hanger part. Makes them a little dressier looking. Thank you again for sharing this!
