Does anyone have tips for making homemade Christmas ornaments?
I’m no Martha Stewart, but I wanna nice Christmas tree, and I can’t afford to put any money into it.
I like the ones in the store, but they are like $20 for a box, or $1 or $2 apiece, and that is just not happening for me this year.
The tree is 7ft tall, and it currently has 2 dozen glitter stars, 18 gold balls, 3 streams of gold garland, and gold and red beads and lights of course.
Ive made some homemade ornaments with gold glitter out of old christmas cards, a John Lennon pic, and some family pics. But I’m tired of glitter picture frame ornament, what else can I do.
I have gold glitter, glue, & red ribbon, and am willing to buy more supplies if necessary.
Go to the park and collect those big pinecones(not the sticky kind) Put them in a warm place if they haven’t opened . Spray with hairspray and add glitter and tie a ribbon on the end to hang on the tree. I still use mine from when my daughter was little. she’s now 33. If you have kids, you can keep them busy by giving them glue and coloured beads ,green paint and pinecones.. When they are done the cones look like decorated Christmas trees !
