THAT'S SO CUEGLY {Ornaments Day 4}


LETS TALK CHEAP, SHALL WE?

I had OLD silver balls, that were going to be thrown out!

Untill I saw the coolest ornaments online, but they were $65 for TWO!!!

So I made my own version (a little sloppier version, but HEY! Homemade!)



1: Plain Ball

2: Spray Painted Ivory-White

3n4: Electrical tape to shape designs to paint!(cuz it's HARDLY sticky and wont peel off your paint jobDoing ONE shape/stripe at a lonesome time, I used BLACK acrylic craft paint!



TADAH!!!

I'm pretty proud of these. By all means they're a disaster, but hanging on a tree from a distance, you cant tell that not ONE shape is symetrical! But these THREE were all I made because it was time consuming. Which is probably NOT what you want to hear.



ROUND 2:



It was Black Friday Morning and I was at my last shopping store....

Porters Craft and Frame!

While I was waiting in line to check out (LONG LINE) I saw these wood Sleds. They weren't painted or touched, and they were big, and only $1...hmmm. SURE!!! I grabbed 7!

PAINTED THEM DARK BROWN: MOD PODGED

CHRISTMAS PAPER ON TOP

AND EMBELISHED OF COARSE!!!


AND HUNG THEM ON MY TREE. Now my DH who we'll just call JJ for now, didn't like the idea of having ornaments bigger than my hand on the tree(I have big hands)...but what do YOU think?





I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Sleighs and Sleds.

Eventually, my Christmas decorations will be themed in that direction! I'm getting there!

TIS THE SEASON!!

SPREAD THE LOVE!!
