Quick and Easy Ornament Craft Project


Do you need quick and easy ornament for an ornament exchange this last weekend before Christmas?  Here is how I created two ornaments for the Church's Ornament Exchange last weekend.  For less than $10.00.


$2.50 box of ornaments from Wal-Mart (the ones I didn't use are going on the tree)
$3.00 fluffy stuff from Hobby Lobby (was less because it was on sale)
I used black ribbon I had, but you could add dollar or two to buy fresh ribbon, and still come out under $10.00.

The fluffy stuff was self-stick.  I wrapped it twice around the stem of the ornament sticking as I went.  The stick 'ums weren't very strong, so I tied a piece of ribbon over top of the fluff.  Cut another piece to for the hanger.  I tied the loop at the base and top so the loop wouldn't move around as much.  Then with a black sharpie I put the year.  I got both ornaments done in less than 10 minutes. 

If you had some fun fringe scraps that would work wonderfully too!  Happy Crafting!

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my information, and saved it.  Now all I
