I know I get alot of my inspiration from Pinterest. Some of it I copy to the T. Others, I do a take on it. Since we have our blog hop going on right now, I though I would show you some of the inspiring ornaments I have found on Pinterest and share them with you.
These are simple clear ornaments, filled with acrylic paint and then just swirled around!! I could see adding a big matching bow.
This is a twine wrapped Styrofoam ball ornament!! Love the texture!
These wood crosscut ornaments are so fun! You can add names on them or a photo.
I am a sucker for penguins! Adorable AND recycling!
These felted rosettes are so cute!! You can use material or regular felt too.
Or you could make it out of book paper, a wedding program, an old bible...
Etsy
this hand painted ornament is an Etsy item, so cool. Steady hand and lots of practice, but doable!
These are made from tissue paper!! I will be giving these a try!
These embellished balls are so colorful and you can design them any way you wish!.
These actually started out as a gold ball ornament! Hot glue, chocolate spray paint, Mod Podge and some snow is all you need. They look good enough to eat!
I also am a sucker for acorns. Styrofoam, glue and glitter, topped with a bow. Now how sweet is that!!
Button, buttons, who's got the buttons? I love this one!! You are only limited by the color and amount of buttons you have. I buy any and all bags of buttons at thrift stores, garage sales, you name it! My stash is huge, so this is a for sure to do!
Jersey pom pom ornament made with a tshirt!! Perfect!
Felt pine cones! These would be fun on a gift box or with a place setting too!
I used to quill when I was a kid. I don't remember how I learned to do it, only that I could do it for hours on end!!
I have no idea how she makes these, as she sells them in her Etsy shop. But I am sure someone out there has an idea and can duplicate it!
3" grapevine twig wreath, crafters moss, plastic eggs and some twine make for this adorable natural ornament!
Love this natural ornament too!!
This one is made of recycled liter soda bottles. Great way to reuse!
This ornament is made from fabric straps glued to a Styrofoam (or an old ugly ornament). I have also seen this done with tissue paper.
So, I could go on and on and on. But you get the idea. I hope I have inspired you to go forth and make some of these! All these ideas I found on Pinterest.
