I know, it may seem a bit early to be thinking of Christmas already, but I just can't help myself! The other day I made a few ornaments that I'm taking to my booth, and thought I'd share them with you today.
I had fun making a bunch of these last year, so I thought I'd make a few and see how they sell in my booth before I go hog wild making a ton of them!
I began with clear plastic ornaments from Michael's. (No worries about breakage, yeah!) Then came the fun part: filling them with hand torn strips of vintage sheet music, and embellishing them with crinkly seam binding, glittery silver stars, and dainty little glittered silk flowers. I am in love with this gorgeous aqua seam binding! Since I only had white silk flowers, I just brushed their petals with a bit of Mod Podge, then dusted them with some light blue flocking from Martha Stewart. I think they came out quite nicely!
And for the ornaments below, I used my favorite taupe seam binding, and just added some glitter to the flowers. Because you can never have too much glitter!
They are so much fun to make, and they look so pretty gathered in this wire basket for their photo shoot, I think!
The wire basket was also one of my most recent creations. I love wire anything, and was thrilled when I discovered this three tiered beauty last week while out thrifting! It was black when I first discovered it, but I thought it would look oh so much better painted a creamy white! It was quite challenging spray painting all of that wire!
Oooh, la, la!

Hi Donna,
Love your ornaments. I don't blame you for testing them out before you make a bunch. I wish I had done that last year when I made up about twenty christmas cones and couldn't sell them....don't know why but I think it's because they were easy to copy. This year I'm trying just a few things at a time.
Love your three tier container. They are always good displays and sellers.

Thanks for sharing the pretty easy to make decorations with us.
The Shabby three tier baskets are a fabulous idea for displaying and selling stuff on at any stall.
Ah, Full of good ideas!

After we left from France, we stayed in my in-law's for a few months in IL before we moved here in Arizona. It's been around two months now since we moved here in Tucson.
My grandma-in-law lives in Michigan! There's nothing like white Christmas in Michican!

I seem to gravitate towards the wirey things also. I love the tiered stand. So many ways to dress it up for the holidays!
Pretty ornaments Donna! Glad the glitter fairy is back in business for the holidays.
That stand will work well for displaying things in your booth.
Have a wonderful weekend!
