I have a lace doily my Grandma crocheted and I pressed a corner of that into ceramic clay and used a 2" round cookie cutter to make the shape. I wanted to use the word JOY on my ornament and hand stamped that next to the lace imprint. I either put a hole or wire loop at the top.
Each of my friends have different themed Christmas trees. Top left is mauve for my friend Jamie. She has a country themed tree. Top right is for Gina. Her tree is decked out in a burlap, out doorsy theme, so I used brown and distressed the white so it wouldn't be so bright. Bottom left is red for my Mom, Sandy. She has a very traditional tree as does my friend, Susan who gets a green ornament. I felt they needed a bit of sparkle, so I sprayed them with a light coat of silver glitter spray. I cheated with the ornament hangers. They are from Hobby Lobby, but they have a handmade look.
I plan on decorating their Christmas packages with the ornament showing on the top. But please don't let them in on my plan! Lol Please hop around and visit the blogs of all the participants and thank you to Heather Powers for being our blog hop hostess!
