Day 5 of Handmade Ornaments

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Welcome to Day 5 of the

12 Days of Handmade Christmas Ornament Party!

Today, Angie at this and that is bringing us this super cute and easy ornament. I hope you all give it a try along with all of the other amazing creations we have seen over the last few days.

Here is Angie!

I am so flattered that I have been asked to be part of this awesome event!

I am Angie, from this and that. I have to say, when Kristin asked me to take part in the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Ornaments, I had NO clue what I was going to do! I headed straight for the dollar store to get some inspiration…3 minutes later I had it…
Here is what I did:

Supplies- Styrofoam ball
Black acrylic paint and paint brush
Ribbon
1 straight pin
Cheap bead necklaces or beaded tree garland
Hot glue gun and glue

Step 1- Paint ball with paint. Dry.
Step 2- Stick the pin through the ends of the ribbon and stick it into the ball.

Step 3- Starting at the ribbon ends, glue a circle of beads at the top of the ball. Cut the bead string, and start a new row next to the first row by putting a line of glue on the ball and then putting the beads on top of it. So this until you get to the very bottom of the ball.


Step 4- Enjoy your new unbreakable Christmas ball and hang it on your tree.


I admit, when I first started doing this I didn’t have much faith that it was going to turn out cute. The pictures really don’t do it justice. I can just see a tree with these ball all over it, so pretty and shimmery!

Come and join me at this and that for some more holiday inspiration!
