Homemade Christmas Ornaments
"Art Ornaments" Submitted by Kay C. Powers of VA
I love these delightful six-sided ornaments and you can use
any colors or photos you wish to make them. Here are two examples that
I made for our tree this year.
The base for these ornaments are six-sided papier-mâché
forms I purchased on-line from Oriental Trading Company, on sale at 6 for
$3.99, or about 67 cents each. They already have the hanging cords
attached.
I measured and made a template to cut the pieces of felt and
photos. I used felt on three sides (I used the peel and stick variety)
alternating with three copies of a picture I printed from my computer.
I first glued the pictures on three alternating sides of the form.
Once the pictures were in place, I used a small paint brush to coat the
pictures with a thin mixture of glue and water. Let dry overnight.
I then applied the felt to the other three sides of the form. I then
glued thin strips of decorative ribbon over each rib to cover where the
sides join.
Simple, yet elegant.
