~christmas ornaments~

I made some cute personalized ornaments

for some of my family and friends this year.

Check them out:

They were super easy and I had so much

fun making them.

The bulbs are from Michael's craft store.

I got them 50% off ....they were .64 a piece.

I had some pictures printed at Walmart

as wallet sizes and backed the picture

with some decorative scrapbook paper I

had on hand.

Next I rolled the picture and inserted it into

the bulb, manipulating the picture as needed

with a pair of tweezers.

Now the fun part-inserting the berries,

feathers, snowflakes, etc, into the

bulb and rubbing the transfers onto the

outside of the bulbs.

These were also all things I had on hand.

The last step was to tie ribbon onto

the top of the ornament....also

used what I had on hand.

The end result....

a sentimental,

inexpensive,

personalized

gift for people I love.

~monogrammed boys hat~

My nephew turns four next week and I thought
I would make him a little monogrammed hat
for his birthday.
I used black fleece and just traced one of
EJ's hats to get the size right for a toddler.
I used some material I had from some old
camo pants for the monogram, pom-pom and stripe.

I'm sure he'd rather get a toy but until I learn how to make
dinosaurs, dump trucks, tractors, guns, etc. he'll
be getting gifts like this.
