Well the weekend has come and gone, how was your weekend?? To sum my weekend up it was THE BESTEST!!! There was a lot accomplished and lots of fun with people I love dearly! *ahhhhhh.....* I told you my SIL Maria was coming over to my house to do some major ornament crafting. We made some ornaments they are adorable! She came up with such a fun easy project, that in my book it really is "bang for your buck" baby. I think they will add so much to our tree this year. We wanted to create more ornaments to share but when you talk and laugh as much as we did..... well not a whole lot gets done!!....but that's not always a bad thing!
So here is the supply list that Maria created for her ornaments:
- glass balls
- Glitter
- Elmer's glue
- music note paper and printed tissue paper cut up in small squares
- paint brush
- scissors
Maria and I visited Hob Lob together and picked up these supplies.... boy that was a mistake. I had to pull her away from the 50% off Thanksgiving isle and slap her into reality!! FOCUS Maria we are making ornaments! Just kidding I didn't slap her cause I know my Yankee/Italian SIL would take me down. Girlfriend don't play like dat she grew up with brother's so she knows how to roll baby!
BTW....like her ring?? So super cute, she doesn't know it yet I am going to be stealing it. *Shhhh*
So to spice your balls up....uhhhhmmm *blushing*....ornaments.....just paint glue on a section of the ball and place a square of paper down, then paint glue on top. Pretty simple. Now if you are me you just randomly place your paper and eventually it looks great. If you are my left brained accountant number loving SIL you have to "think" about where you place it. We were cracking up how we both were doing the same craft but how different we approach it. Both ended up looking awesome! Her approach worked for her and mine worked for me. Just do your thing girl!
Look how awesome our balls are!!!! Can you guess which one belongs to who???
After you add paper to the entire ball sprinkle with glitter! Maria and I found that the more glitter the better. WOW they are so pretty!
So there you have it, look!!!.... they hang so nice!!!
They will look so beautiful on our trees.
I can't wait to put up our tree in a few weeks.
I hope we inspired you to jazz up your ornaments this Christmas season! Thank you Maria for coming up with such a fun project to make and spending the day with me. We had so much fun we are doing it again next Saturday....but our other SIL Renee will be joining in, this should be good. Not sure how much we will really get done but I do know it will be fun! I'm thinking this Christmas our houses will be THE BESTEST!
Have a Happy Day! G.....and M!
