My Christmas Craft Night Ornament

9 years ago

My 16th Christmas Craft Night is December 9th and I finished my ornament today. I think it's pretty cute and cuter in person. For our main craft we are making chocolates this year; peanut butter balls, peanut clusters, peppermint brittle, chocolate toffee, chocolate cherries, chocolate Oreos. I figured my 16rh party should be a sweet one.

I found the little trees at Hobby Lobby in their Christmas craft area. The salt and pepper shakers are $1.26 for two from Walmart. Probably one of my cheaper ornaments.

ok, I messed up. I tend to scan quickly when I am excited about a project. So you said vertical blinds and the ones I saved were the regular vinyl blinds. I got out 4 slats and washed them (in shed) and got busy with the directions in hand. First one I bent in half broke. So the next one I did not crease but just fold...got to the points and they broke. No telling how old they were when I did a curb find but I guess they were not a good choice, lol. So I took some fun foam I have and using all white, got confused. So I found a tan sheet and did get a flat star done. So I will try with paper and practice because I am gona find some verticals and make some. Maybe I can find some that are on sale racks also. Maybe some where the hangers are damaged cause I will not need them. I do believe the regular vinyl blinds would work if newer and could find some of these on sale rack. Oh, it is the top and bottom of the regular vinyl blinds that I am gona use for hanging flags or banners outside this summer.

They painted up nice(screw eyes)! Wondered where you got the blocks!! Our Michael's has changed so much, not near as much stuff as used to have. Lighting isn't too good so hard to find what you want. Should go to a different 1. After looking at the ornament some more I do think the screw eyes add a richness to it that a cord wouldn't. Thanks for the info. I made a spider last night, I can't find 1 I made last yr. It is just black bumpy chenille 4-12 in. long, pieces. Each piece needs 4 bumps. Put them together & take 1 & twist around the other 3 spread out all 8 legs. In center add 2 in black pompom with hot glue. Arrange legs ,I turned up tips a little & bend where each leg gets thin so it sits like spider, see where you want to put 2 ziggle eyes 10-12 mm attach with hot glue. turn over & hot glue little on area legs come together under the pompom so you won't "lose a leg!! Place with you decorations for Halloween. Very easy, about 5 minutes to make. Jan

Thanks....I went to a used book store and bought a French book and a German book. I printed tags with Noel and Merry Christmas in German and French. I might need to print off some of the tags a little smaller. I will let everyone decide what they want.

I had no idea that was a salt or pepper shaker. You are quite clever. I never would have thought of that. The chocolate candy sounds wonderful!! Enjoy.

Love it! I would never have thought of using a salt shaker but it's perfect and will reflect lights on the tree as well.

I always look forward to seeing your ornament for the year. What do you have inside the shaker under the tree?

I glued the Christmas tree down first, then added some Buffalo brand iridescent snow flakes. I covered the lid with gauze and then glued on a pearl trim. I unscrewed the lid and added the pearl with some string to hang the ornament. I have no idea where the snow flakes came from. They were in my craft stock pile so I used them. I can't take credit for this ornament since I found it on Pinterest (there were not instructions though). I have my main craft and my ornament planned, now I just have to plan my menu. I will buy all the chocolate supplies and luckily our cake supply store is having a Customer Appreciation sale on December 4th....just in time.
