This year I've taken the plunge. Making *ALL* ornaments by myself (& a little help from my son!). Yes, ALL of them! Except for the lights, lace & the tree itself, I made everything. Let's say I'm in love with my oven (I've been doing a bit of baking lately) , and a bit in love with my cookie cutters too!
Although I claim we brought almost nothing when we moved to Chile, I did bring along these babies. Thank goodness, since I couldn't find nice cookie cutters of this size anywhere here! |
Cookie Cutter obsession: Those lil hearts are cheese cut outs! looked adorable in their lil corner at my tea party. |
What I used for decorations: yarn, pom poms, glitter, sequins,cotton swabs, marker pens, paint and of course coloured wires to enabling hanging them.
As you can see, they aren't thick at all. |
A little pom on each heart, makes em look so pretty :) |
Realised a bit late that they'll need a third leaf each! |
Turned 'caterpillars' of dough into candy canes before baking. Tied em up with red & green yarn. |
These were supposed to be Santas & stockings! Didn't use cutters for these. Think of dough as play doh to make whatever shapes you'd like! |
A little yarn for a warm scarf |
Tried this without a cutter too (I *really* looked, and looked for snowflake cookie cutters in vain!) |
These are so cute. Feeling festive :) Thanks for sharing with this week's #pinitparty. We love your stuff.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Thanks for sharing at the Thoughtful Spot Blog Hop! :)
ReplyDeleteSoo cute! Wish I had the craftiness you do but I am so tempted! My tree is completely bare except for lights. Haha! What did you use to paint the red? And how did the glitter stick on the snowflake?:)
ReplyDeleteI used a normal red paint! and glue for glitter dust! sorry for such a late reply!
DeleteOh I'm so glad you shared these - I have yet to do any ornaments this year with my girls. They will have so much fun! :)

I keep seeing this type of project all over Pinterest and the internet. I guess this is a sign that I actually should make some of these. Maybe when the kids are out of school next week! Thanks for a great example of how to make some great ornaments! Thanks so much for posting this for me to find on #MarvMondays!
ReplyDeleteThese look brilliant, although I'm not sure they are quite my son's thing now as he's 10. However the other day we made a castle from all the recycled cardboard we found in our recycling bin. It was amazing to see him being creative and not glued to his ipad or xbox. We've decided to do a regular 'challenge' to keep him inspired. xx #marvmondays
ReplyDeleteAnother great recipe! I cant believe you made all of your christmas tree ornaments yourself - they look amazing! Thanks for sharing this post on #MarvMondays too. Emily
