Christmas Tree Ornaments-Revisited

Many of you will remember these ornaments that I made a couple of years back, they have become one of the most popular things on my blog.

I was recently honored to have them included as part of The Ornament Girl's

25 Ornaments to make.

I wanted to take a minute to give a little more info on them. I get e-mails almost daily about them and I am honored that so many people like them.

They are so fun and EASY to make.

The die I used for the tree is  a Sizzix die, Christmas Tree#2. I think it is a retired die, I got mine a few years back at Michael's but I have seen it online in various places. So you can do a google search and still find it, and if not any Christmas tree die would be cute.

The paper I used is some I bought locally at Hobby Lobby, it is still available, I just bought some more yesterday, cos I love it and I have stock piled a huge amount.  If you can't find it, shoot me an e-mail and we can make some arrangements for me to get you some, if I can.

The rusty jingle bells are some I had and still have from old ornament kit that I have had forever, but they are available at almost any craft store, or online craft supply stores.

The ribbon is of course your choice, in the above ones I used some Stampin UP Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon.

 I love the distressed look of these, I love all things prim, so these make me happy but I also made some that don't look as distressed 

Here are a few more I made this year, no sponging on them:

These below are less distressed and use some beads and red satin ribbon.

I used some chunky silver glitter on the edges of these.

I hope this post answers some of your questions but if you have any more please just ask, I am always happy to hear from you!

Thanks so much!
