2015's Handmade Ornament

One of my favorite crafts for Christmas has been making new ornaments.   Last year, I made this ornament from sand from our honeymoon. 

This year, I used our moving announcements to make an ornament for our new home. The little metal tag with our new address is on the way from the same shop that did the one last year. :) 

Here's what you need: 

A cute announcement (babies, moving, save the date)

Scissors

a clear ornament

optional: paint

Cut your announcement into strips

Wrap the strips around your pinky finger

I uncurled mine so I didn't have to have as many to fill the globe, but you can leave them in tight curls if you wish. :) 

Put the curlies in the ornament

Paint your saying on the outside

reattach the top and hang! :)
