Ornament Tutorial & Exchange

 I am participating in the holiday spirit thanks to Erlene author of My Pinterestventures is Hosting the 2015 Ornament Exchange.  Do you know Erlene? Make sure you visit the link above to meet the magical Elf. She somehow managed to wrangle a large group of blogger to create tutorials for you,  then send off ornaments to a new friend. She has created a job that is similar to Santa delivering all the Christmas joy overnight. Only she has subjected herself to this for several days. I hope you enjoy the good cheer, creative ideas and meeting new bloggers in the process.

My new friend is Stephanie. She is a Mom, Nurse, Adjunct Professor teaching college students and the author Casa Watkins. She has chosen the colors of Gold and Green to decorate her Christmas Tree this year. I hope this ornament will remind her of the heart of gold she has during the Christmas season.

Of course first you need to know the supplies I used for the ornament I made.

I wanted to honor the colors Stephanie wanted for her home. I also realize she likes to change her colors on her Christmas tree. My thought was that I could fill the ornament with the colors of this year and later she could change the ornament to her color choices in the future. 

I filled the ball ornament with different shades of gold stems. The two shades are a champagne and bright gold. I also varied the sizes of the filler so it would create more visual impact. Or in other words, "BLING."

 So often in our busy life we are rushing through moments of our life. Take the time to give the gifts you are making special finishing touches. It will make you and the person who receives the ornament feel great to know you made an extra effort. I glued gold 5 leaves from the stems and then added two leaves I hole punched to the ribbon for hanging the ornament.

Here is what the ornament looks like ready for shipping to Stephanie's Christmas tree. I think it definitely will sparkle like her heart of gold does from her sweet spirit.

Here is a quick summary of the tutorial. It is really as easy as steps 1- 4 and pack to mail. Happy Holidays from all Eighty of the bloggers who Erlene rounded up, which is a huge undertaking. Thank you, our mystical elf Erlene for adding to the celebration of the holidays.
