Maker Ornaments—Showcase Your Hobbies and Collections

12/21/2019

0 Comments

 
The holidays are an especially busy time of the year.  Fortunately, creativity doesn’t take an eternity.  If your time budget is under 5 minutes, this project is for you!  Create one-of-a-kind ornaments that showcase your hobbies and collections in the blink of an eye.

Glass or plastic craft ornaments come in a variety of sizes and finishes.  Simply open the ornament and fill it with tiny treasures of your choice.  Close the ornament securely and use it to trim your tree!

The first ornament that I made holds twigs and beach glass that I collected on the shores of Lake Michigan.  The second one contains vintage Czech crystal beads.
I still have a few empty ornaments to fill before Christmas arrives.  I might fill them with:
  • Vintage postage stamps
  • Pieces of ribbon and lace
  • Leftover bits of embroidery floss
  • Tinsel, sequins, and glitter

I hope you try out this project and make it your own.  The possibilities are endless!  If you’re interested in decorating an entire tree with a maker theme, please see my post from last winter for inspiration.  May the upcoming days be magical and creative for you and your loved ones!  Happy holidays!
