Christmas Ornaments

A happy Monday to all of you! I hope you had a fun & fabulous Thanksgiving. I sure did and was too exhausted to even post an entry last Friday. Sorry about that! I'll make up for it this week with some Christmas ideas -- specifically tree ornaments.

Do you remember the bag of scrap? You've seen how I turned the "scrap" into accessories like a necklace, cuff and a hair clip. But there was one particular item that I did not touch...


It's the loose crystals from an old chandelier (found on lower right of the photo).

By attaching it to a piece of wire, dressed up with beads and a ribbon, the blah is now a TADA! I think it adds an elegant touch to any Christmas tree.

Please drop by again tomorrow for another idea!
