Custom Christmas Ornaments

Last holiday season I spent
a number of hours filling
custom Christmas ornament orders.
And although it is somewhat
time consuming...
it was A LOT of fun!

I really enjoyed scrolling
through my fonts to get just the
right one for each name or word.
And creating each unique ornament
was only complete when the lettering,
tulle and ribbon color was decided.

I wish now that I would have taken more pictures.
Because right now...I can't find any.
*sigh*

Here's an idea of what I use:

Supplies:
1. 4" Glass Bulb
2. Tulle
3. Vinyl design, name or word
(will need vinyl cutter & supplies-or paint-or stickers)
4. Decorative ribbon cut 7-9" long

Here's what to do:
Clean the bulb with
Windex, rub on design/name or word.
In this case I used words
relating to the spirit
of Christmas.
Peel away application tape.
Remove silver hook holder and
 fill the bulb with the tulle
color of your choice.
Put top back on.
Place the ribbon through the hook
holder and tie.








I made 16 of these for a recent show.
Unfortunately, I didn't sell any.
 BUT the up side to that is that
I now have them for my
space at Marketplace 3301.
I'm excited to see how well they do
and am hoping for some custom
name and color orders!

~~>*GREAT personalized gift *<~~

I made these ornaments for our tree. I embellished them
with our names and the year. But instead
of filling them with tulle, I used dark brown and light brown
paper shred with nut brown (pumpkin orange)
vinyl. My tree is bronze and orange and they turned out amazing!

(this is the back side...the front has my boys' names)

If you'd like to make your own but need the vinyl~
contact me:
Carri @
and I can get you set up
with custom names, words or decals!
~~>UPDATE<~~
Found 2 photos to show
just how creative you can get:

Have a great day!

  4. Laughter is a best solution of fear, anger and boredom.

    Some pictures will remind you of your ambitions about your life while other humorous
    ones will relieve your stress and make your life more comfortable
    and easier. Aside from making your self blissful you also carry others to be
    comfortable too.

  5. Sometimes funny pictures are created automatically, and now need
    a little time to our own. It seems like the internet today is almost entirely
    full of nothing but funny pictures and videos that people use to pass their days.

    Many of the paintings have a tendency to use a signature in order to improve a funny message that's shown in the photo.

  6. Make a list of your nutrition chart involving juice and fruits at the top followed by green
    vegetables and milk products. If you weigh yourself everyday or every other day and see that you've gained weight, your motivation may go down and you'll be likely
    to give up. Get your heart rate up with a quick burst of fast movement.

  15. Vanity Fair is stylish and well written, and they
    push the envelope in celebrity reporting, giving readers if not
    a balanced representation, then at least an interesting angle to a well known personality.

    Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan had a rough battle, when the movies related to
    them were released at the same time. He covers gossip on
    celebrities, actors and musicians.
