Ashley's Ideas

I love all Amy's snow globe ideas. I think this would be a really fun/interesting craft to do.

Here's another one.

Maybe I'm lame but I think it would be fun to do ornaments again. Maybe a little more organized this time? (Not that last year was bad I loved it) Anyways, I posted a few ideas that I thought looked fun.

I have a ton of extra glass ornaments I want to get rid of so that would help cut down on costs.

Cute Snow Globes

I thought it might be cute to do a variety of snow globes for display.We could even glue them on to Candle sticks for different Heights.

Inspiration!

I may be cursing myself, but her are some additional ideas for the ornaments. I focussed my search on the paper version for now. I like to go in prepared with ideas and inspiration so I can be more creative. So maybe the following pics will help you too!

Christmas Ornaments

Ashley and I were thinking this would be really fun. We could make a bunch of ornaments for our trees. An assortment. Even some similar to the advent boxes Amy had on her Halloween tree. The options are endless. Here are some that caught our eye.

Cute Ideas from Etsy

These are approximately 7" tall and are made by dipping thin strips of newspaper in glue and painstaking wrapping thin wire. I use 4 to 5 layers to get the thickness I want. Once dry they are painted white and then I hand paint the stripes. Lastly there is a dusting of glass glitter to make them glisten!
