Christmas Ornament #2

Here is another ornament I created this year:






A Christmas wreath with tiny holly "berries" woven into it - red yarn sewn through. I put the wreath inside the bulb before adding the holly leaves. It was a task but worth the beautiful result when it was done. The yarn is Red Heart Paddy Green, and Red. I bought the holly from either a local craft store or a mail order catalog, I don't recall which right now.

2010 Christmas Ornament #1

Here's my first Christmas project for the year: a glass bulb with a knit wreath inside!

It was simple to make, using the spool loom and carefully inserting it inside the bulb. Then I glued some fancy ribbon I bought from Michael's around the top. I already gave it to someone as a gift.

I bought a few miniature bulb ornaments from one of my favorite places to order from, http://www.factorydirectcraft.com/ . I can sit and stare at their catalog, drooling at the thought of all the wonderful projects I could make! The miniature bulbs are hanging inside from the top of the wreath.

It's always fun to see people's reactions when they see the ornaments. They wonder, "How did you get that inside there?" Practice, practice, practice!
