Hi Everyone! This year for Christmas I wanted do something special here on the blog. So, here's what I came up with! Everyday this week I'm going to be doing a post on my handmade Christmas ornaments. I hope it will inspire you to get out your supplies, and maybe make a few of your own to decorate your tree or give as a gift. At the end of the week on Friday, we'll have one lucky winner who will win a $50 gift certicate to my online store so they can stock up on supplies to make their own Christmas ornaments. Keep reading to find out how to enter.
Supplies Used: Melissa France Cottage Ornament, glue gun, white acrylic paint, 12×12 Foil Cardstock Silver, mini holly leaves, seambinding, tinsel ribbon, and a mini red rose.
This adorable little chipboard Cottage Ornament comes naked, flat, and easy to assemble and decorate. I painted the entire house with white acrylic paint, hot glued the window and door lattice in place, glued mirrored silver cardstock behind them, and then hot glued the house, base, and roof together. I hot glued the ornament hanger in place, and covered the roof in more silver cardstock. I then decorated with tinsel, seambinding, and a mini holly leaf.

I love this ornament it reminds of of a little church I use to attend.
These are perfect on the tree for ornaments.
Love the way you decorated them and gave them that shiny roof for Santa to land on Christmas Eve.
OMG this is going to be fun an exciting. Definitely, great so that we can make extra decorations for people as Christmas gifts! I must admit I have never been one to think out of the box but you are such an inspiration and I cannot wait to watch another video and learn learn learn!
