An idea a day... #3

A quick and simple-to-make ornament!

As we wandered through Pottery Barn in Phoenix... I put on my breaks and pulled out my camera.

Oooooooooo... darling ornaments (see: tree below) that could be put together quickly and easily and made in any color and size.

I bought one for a friend... wanted to check it out close-up.

1. A Styrofoam ball

2. Grosgrain ribbon wrapped and pinned (small craft pins) at the top and the bottom.

3. Contrasting ribbon around 'the equator'.

4. Narrow rick rack above and below the center ribbon.

5. Bow and ribbon hanger on top to hang.

Look at how inviting the ornament looks at each persons place at the table... tied to a Christmas CD.

Here is a photo of the table in its entirety.

Only one runner.

Here are some ornaments hanging on their tree.
Kids could make them if the ribbon was pre-cut.
These don't have bows on the top... I'd want to have a bow.

A fun family project!
