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~
