My creation is this little Christmas tree made from small silver and blue ball ornaments and a cone shaped piece of styrofoam. I bought a clay pot and spray painted it red and tied the bow around it. I cannot tied a fancy bow but this one will do.
And this is a creation made from my 4 year old Big J. I was patiently waiting for him in the car line and immediately after he popped in the car he handed me a brown bag with a red bow on it. This was a present for me.
Aren't they sweet. I love them.

Ahhh Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus are so cute! I would love to know what they are made of (besides clay pots)!
I bookmarked this tutorial for making wired bows last week and tried it this weekend - it really is pretty easy!

The very best gift of the year I am sure. ~Kelly
Brandi, It is made from a small clay pot and a wooden ball and just a little bit of fabric. I guess the teachers hot glued the ball to the bottom of the pot.
Kristy - thanks so much for the link!
Kelly - yes I loved it!
hands down...one of the best christmas presents EVER!!!
The nativity is so sweet. GOD BLESS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS
So sweet!
A craft a day keeps the blues away!
Too Cute!
I'm also super-in-love with your christmas tree...any words of advice on how to construct this project in my own home?
Regina, this was really easy. I found a styrofoam cone shape at the Joann's craft store (in the floral area) and then bought about 4 packages of the small ornament balls. They were on sale 60% off so it was not too expensive of a project.
Take the tops off of the ornaments and then use a hot glue gun and put a bit of hot glue where the ornament top (hanger thing) used to be and then push it into the styrofoam.
Once done, I used a wooden dowel and pushed it into the bottom of the cone and put a couple of styrofoam disks into the clay pot (which I spraypainted red) and pushed the other end of the wooden dowel into the disks. Added a bow and there you have it.
Good luck if you decide to do it! Kristin
I like the tree ornament thing you have made. But I love the gift your son has made. I think you will use it for a long long time to come
Did my ornaments arive? I forgot to take a picture, can you send me one?
Hi Marielle, no they have not arrived as of this afternoon. I will definitely send you a pic when they arrive, I cannot wait to see them!
Yes I love that little nativity too, I will have to start packing these things really well so I will have them for a very long time.
Beautiful to treasure foreve!
