Day 1: Glass Ball Ornaments


Glass Ball Ornaments are so beautiful!   If you are afraid of your little ones breaking the glass, they now have plastic ones, that look like glass.  This is a very simple but elegant ornament and I think you will love the many things that you can do with these.  You can fill them with lightweight objects like:
  • berries
  • tinsel
  • faux snow
  • ribbon
  • greenery
  • paper
  • candy
  • I think a black & white picture would be classy!
Note: Just make sure your items are small enough to fit through the opening.

Supplies:
  • Glass ball or plastic ornaments, size(s) of your choice
  • Small funnel, optional or rolled up piece of paper
  • Fillings
  • Ornament hooks (I personally like to use ribbon)

Instructions
  1. Take metal tops off ornaments and set aside.
  2. Carefully fill ornaments. Use a funnel or rolled up piece of paper to help guide the filling through the neck of the ornament, if desired.
  3. Replace the metal tops, then attach an ornament hook.

10 Days of Christmas Crafts

Hi All,

Today I am kicking off 10 Days of Christmas Crafts!  What does that mean you ask?  Well, for the next 10 weekdays, I will be posting a Christmas themed craft complete with a picture (always helpful), supply list, and directions.  I've chosen crafts that are suited  for children of all ages, that means adults to, so everyone can participate.  Many of these projects would be perfect for a family FUN evening.  So,  get you glue and glitter, and join me as I get my Christmas craft on!

If you think about it, snap a picture of you and your craft, then send it to me,  and I'll be sure to post it!

Thanks, 

Sharmin

Christmas Scripture Word Art Tree Printable

Christmas Scripture Word Art Tree
I absolutely love decorating my home for Christmas, and any other occasion for that matter!  Anyway, I really wanted some Christian Christmas art to add to my decor.   I was going to create my own then I thought lets go to the web for inspiration.  Well, low and behold I stumbled upon this blog A Simply Klassic Home, where Kristin created this word art scripture tree.  The best part is she's allowing you to print it for free!!  Yes and free means free here (y'all know free doesn't mean free without a catch anymore).  So go and find a 8x10 frame, card stock or you could use regular paper, and a good spot to hang this beautiful piece of artwork! 

Happy Decorating,
Sharmin
