With all the traditional themes and earthy elements in my decor this year, I wanted to do something a little more colorful. So I settled on some simple handmade ornaments. You could put them on your tree or use them to decorate your gifts but I chose to hang them from some branches I spray painted white. I love how they’ve brighten up my space. Here’s how you can make your own:
Begin by choosing colors or patterns you love that fit in with your decor then with your stencil trace and cut out six 3 inch circles. Fold each circle in half, then using double sided tape or glue connect the flat side of one circle to the flat side of another until you have a sphere. Next cut a 5 inch piece of ribbon, thread the two ends through the center of the sphere making sure to leave a loop for hanging at the top and secure with glue. Attaching a wood bead or a sparkly pom pom or a jingle bell at the top would be a nice touch too!
