This was a guest post last year—and i just found it.. (have i mentioned that my draft box is in need of a cleaning) anyways..i thought i had better post it before christmas is over and I have to wait ANOTHER year.
and i found some plastic ornaments on a cheap sale….
and turned them into something fun!
the first one:
add a picture!
I found an image of a manger scene i liked and shrunk it down on my word document…
and printed it out….i took my ornament and kinda traced around it…
and cut it out..
I rolled it up and stuck it inside…
and added a little straw….
and funnelled them in…(at this time i was thinking that it would be cool to layer these like sand art..)
but i shook them all up instead…
tossed those in…
hot glued the top on (a must unless you want beads all over) and added some ribbon…
i’m probably going to make a tag to put on here telling what you are looking for!
and took a silver sharpie and just started writing…all the way around. i got through the whole song and had just a little space on the bottom.
it’s totally pretty…but totally hard to take a picture of…

I really love the photo one you made!

Those are all so cute! Love the straw in the photo one. And I bet the silver song one looks so pretty on a glowing Christmas tree!

Thanks for sharing these amazing ideas! I love all three and hope to try them today!

Oh my heart. I'm just dying here… don't take this the wrong way but YOU BOUGHT STRAW! Straw, in a little bag, from the store!? Who would have known such a thing exists. Next year when you need a bit I'll wonder out to the barn and mail you some in a envelope. Really, I had no idea that you could buy store-bought straw. SUPER super funny to me, mind-boggling really!

Fun and very budget friendly! What a craft for a season that there is so much to do and not enough time to do it.
