And Even More ~ Handmade Christmas Ornaments ~ A Tour of Years of Ornament Making

Recycled Christmas Cards with crocheted edges.

 I found these small cowboy hats at a store called Hobby Lobby.  I'm not sure if you can buy them there anymore.  For these I glued tiny red and green plastic gems around the hat, tied on red string. and created a hanger.  

 The Policeman Snowmen I was talking about in another post.  I simply purchased scrapbooking stickers to embellish these fun guys. 

A spider created from wire, beads and black pom poms.

 A teddy bear wine cork ornament.  Only one was made.  These were more difficult to make than the wine cork horses.

 Made with a Christmas tree light bulb, a hole pierced through the top and brown chenille stem for antlers.  The eyes and nose are simply glued on.

This is one of my "one of a kind" ornaments.  I made it using a recycled medicine cup, felt, belt buckle parts (top metal piece and bottom, felt, a tiny bird, and a recycled bead.

Shimmering fruit created from small plastic fruits bought at a dollar store and covered with glitter.  I store these in an old egg carton to keep the glitter from getting on other ornaments.

I made these using a pattern that came in an old magazine.  They are made from styrofoam discs painted (the beard is made using a textured snow/glue) and a painted tongue depressor.

Recycled CD's glued back to back, edged with a string of beads, and embellished with plastic gems.
