Joy and Noel Ornaments

I love making Christmas Decorations for our tree. Dont you think that a tree filled with Christmas decorations that you have made yourself is simply delightful?

Here is a super simple way of creating some bespoke but super simple ornaments

What you'll need:

Scalloped shape cur from card stock

Glitter - Brown and Silver (or any colour of your choice)

Chipboard letters

Narrow Ribbon

Mod Podge

Paint Brush

Scrap booking paper

Cardboard

Glue Gun

First, glitter the edges of the card stock brown glitter and Mod Podge. You can use any colour of glitter that you want. How nice does the scallops stand out with the glitter?

Cut a circle of coordinating paper and glue in centre of the scalloped cardstock.

Select what letters you want to use and glitter with silver glitter. You can mix up the fonts to add a little interest. This is a great way to use up some of the odd ball letters you might have, doesn't matter the shape or colour, the glitter will tie it all together. Glue the letters on, I used hot glue this time since the chipboard is a little heavier.

Create a hanger with narrow ribbon, I used a glue gun to attach it. Glue one end to the front and the other end to the back, it looks nice and tailored that way, the ribbon is about 6 inches long.

To make the ornament a little sturdier, I glued a round piece of really thick card to the back, although, it's not necessary, as the cardstock is fairly thick, about poster board weight. I painted the cardboard with burnt umber craft paint, just to clean it up a bit. Again, this was just to make it a little more sturdy.
