Currently, my Christmas tree has a lot of shiny and sparkly gold ornaments. So, it's got the green and gold colors from my theme mentioned here, but I needed to add some brown to really make my rustic theme complete. Easy solution: add twine.
A lot of my DIY holiday projects, which I will continue to share, involve reusing materials. Makes sense, right? It keeps the costs down and it's easy to make things matchy matchy.
Choose a starting point on your foam ball, add a dollop of glue and stick on the twine.
Wrap the twine around the ball adding a little more glue here and there.
(It is not necessary to add the glue every time you wrap the twine around, although I did find that I needed to more as I got closer to the bottom)
Add wire, ribbon or make a loop with your left over twine to create a hook.
Hang finished ornament on the tree.
Step back from the tree and admire your handy work.
These are so cute, and seem so easy! They'd go perfect with my tree :)

Oh, how lovely :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, but it would make me go bonkers to make this. I had to do something similar in college in 'art for children' (yes, we elementary teachers take such classes...) and I wanted to scratch my face of at the end. I don't have the fine motor skills, I guess :P But it DOES look lovely :)
ReplyDeleteoh, i love this! :) so cute...
ReplyDeleteSo pretty AND simple! Luckily I love my hot glue gun and have lots of patience! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo so cute! I definitely thinks this adds the perfect texture to a tree full of glossy bulbs!

ReplyDeleteI think I need to start making a list, because of course right after Christmas I would find all these cute DIY Christmas ornaments. This one is right at the top too, very simple and still very cute.
