Homemade Christmas Ornaments

"Friendship Ball"

Submitted by Matthew R. of Auburn, WA

I thought it would be fun to make an ornament to commemorate our friendship.  Recommend this to go on a large tree.

Supplies needed:


Santa Hat $.60, regularly $2.50 (after Christmas sale)
Large plastic ornament $.50 for 2, regularly $5 (after Christmas sale)
Picture of friend $.13 for a 4x6
2 ornament hangers $.99 for 50
drinking straw (washed and reused)
Tape
Newspaper

I took a digital photo and had a 4x6 professional print made.  I cut out the silhouette of my friend's head.  Then I attached the photo to the ornament.  I attached the bottom of the straw to the ornament with a hanger.  At the top of the straw I attached another hanger and poked it through the hat so the ornament could hang up.  I stuffed the hat with newspaper and taped the brim of the hat to the ornament.
