Glittery Christmas Ornaments

UPDATE!!

Click Here for the Tutorial

I left my tutorial uploading overnight and when I checked my computer this morning, the tutorial finally was completely uploaded. Yay! I was so DISTURBED yesterday when the tutorial did not finish uploading. I basically stared at the progress bar willing it to move faster. I couldn't do anything else but sit and watch it. Whenever I would walk away thinking it would be done when I returned, instead, I would be greeted with a message saying "click retry" meaning my Internet server flaked out while I was away. I REALLY hate my Internet server. . .Time Warner is getting on my nerves. Remind me not to upload tutorials on the weekend.

Anyway. . .try the tutorial out. . .the ornament is actually easy to make if you have the patience to make it!!

Hi Everyone! I've been working on these ornaments for the past few days. I love them because they're very shiny and they sparkle under the light. I created several different designs. . .the picture shows a few of them. I've made about 12 of them so far and I have about 20 more ornaments to make. It takes about 1 hour to make about 3 of them. I'm going to ask my kids to help me this weekend so I believe we should be able to finish all of them by Monday.

I'm going to create a tutorial on this ornament if you're interested. I'll post it this evening. I was so busy yesterday that I wasn't able to sit down and create the tutorial. Do you like this ornament? I think it came out pretty good but that's my opinion. What do you think?

Here's a pink/gold combo using the SU "True Friend" stamp set.



Here's a silver/purple combo. The stamped image is from the SU "Paint Prints stamp set".






















Here's a butterfly design on the red glitter ball. The images are from the SU "Beautiful Butterflies" stamp set.












Because we don't have a Christmas tree right now, I hung the ornaments on this palm tree in our living room. Every year we buy two trees, one big one and one small one. The small tree (about 5 ft tall) goes into the the family room which these ornaments will be hung on. My husband wants them on the small tree. . . hmmmph, I'm a bit insulted. That's okay, I understand. . .we have a tradition of hanging our special "ornament collection" on our big tree. Each year we buy special ornaments for the kids and one family ornament. Unfortunately, my handmade ornaments don't fit the design theme.



Here's another picture at another angle. Okay. . .now back to making another 20 of these puppies. I'm going to be busy this weekend!!
