Christmas Ornaments

[immersedingrace]

I love handmade ornaments and I love making them! Much of my tree is handmade and I keep adding ornaments. This year I wanted mittens so I took out some felt, ribbon/pearls/trim and went to work.

does anyone else make their own ornaments?

Do you have any links to or ideas for home made ornaments?

Here are some of the one's I've come across:

Christmas Ornaments: Wishing Spool | Festive Displays | Family Fun - I made these with two spools. I made one's with a "naughty" & "nice" list; some scripture; and a few carols.

Mittens:
Felt Mitten Ornaments: Instructions and Free Pattern | Bukisa.com
Make a Felt Mitten and Ice Skate Ornament
Red and White Felt Mitten Christmas Gift Toppers (my favorites - I didn't have enough "red" or "white" felt to do it so mine are burgundy, cream, and blue - similar idea w/ no buttons)

Other:
How to Make Salt Dough or Bread Dough Christmas Ornaments | Bukisa.com
Kreinik Manufacturing Co., Inc. :: Wooden Spool Ornaments
Wooden Spool Christmas Ornaments - Carved Santa Wooden Spools (not a "pattern" but I think it gives GREAT ideas...even if you're not into santa)
Quince and Quire: Recycled ribbon spool ornaments (I wouldn't have thought of that idea...beautiful ornaments)

I did a few years ago and still have them. Michael's online has alot of ideas. I would use styrofoam balls,glue and pin satin then glue beads and jewels on mine. You can use a pin to make a ribbon on top to hang. I love them because nobody has the kind you make yourself.
