Sock Monkey Ornament

Sock monkeys are cute and make great decorations for anytime of year...

so why not have one on your tree, as a Christmas ornament?!

Here is one that I have hand-painted with acrylics on a glass ball ornament:

I think it turned out adorable!

I kept with the traditional sock monkey colors so that it would be easily recognizable, but you could also change up the color scheme to personalize it.

Ornament Swap

I participated in an ornament swap on Facebook this month.

You could make the ornament out of whatever medium you wanted.

My swap partner wasn't picky and said she would be happy with anything.

So I got a paper mache ornament from Michael's that was round in shape.

I decorated it with scrapbook paper, bling, ribbon, chipboard pieces, and stickers!

I did both sides differently so it was like two ornaments in one!

My swap partner sent me the cutest ornaments in return!

She made me feel special by sending my THREE cute ornaments!!

Aren't they just the cutest?!

Thank you!! :)

Did you make any cute ornaments this year?
