Stashing through the Snow

I know it is only September, but I have started working on Christmas presents!

Those of ya'll who are crafty and make your own gifts know that starting early is key!

This year I have decided to try my hand and painting glass ornaments.

Here is my first one:

This mustache inspired ornament is for my best friend.

I started with a clear glass ornament and painted it white.

I then painted a black mustache on it and painted the quote on.

Ta da, a cute ornament for her tree!

I can't wait to give this to her!!

If you like this, make sure to subscribe, because I have many more ornaments and hand painted and handmade gift postings coming up!

The project I created is one that I remember seeing my Mom do when I was younger. I created Christmas ornaments out of styrofoam balls, ribbon, sequins, seed beads, and sequins pins.

You wrap the ribbon around the styrofoam ball twice, creating four quadrants, and you create a loop with one of your pieces of ribbon. You then proceed to fill the empty spaces with sequins pins that have a seed bead and a sequin on them.

The following are ones that I have created for Christmas gifts this year.
