Today's Christmas ornament is a super easy one...pretty much self-explanatory :) I saw a tree once that had a huge "Merry Christmas" spelled in it and I loved it. Well, my tree that is currently up is like a Charlie Brown tree, so that would look ridiculous. Instead I made a small scale version. I call it garland, but really, it's just an ornament since it's so small :)
All it takes are some cute small letters and some jute! ...well, and paint if you want :) I got the small letters from Michaels. I think they measure about 5/8ths of an inch. So, pretty small.

I'm so thankful for your sweet crafts series, they are so cute and thrifty and a good chance to do some holiday preperation with kids. Here in Germany, we usually do not decorate until the 1st of December, and the tree (almost everyone has a real, not an artificial Christmas tree) is never put up before the 23th of December. That means, we'll have plenty of time to steal all your pretty ideas :)
ReplyDeleteI usually don't decorate until after Thanksgiving, which is usually the end of November. I don't know how I would last waiting until 2 days before Christmas to decorate a tree! How long do you leave it up?
DeleteI love a good banner, and how cute is this mini one? I would love to see it in large scale like you're talking about. It would be so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever idea!!!
