DIY Christmas Tree Ornaments

Ho Ho Ho!!  Christmas will be coming soon and it is time to put up our tree. 

Having a christmas tree had been my childhood dream and it finally got fulfilled last year.  Our collection of  tree's ornaments is still very small.  All we have are some orbs in different sizes of purple, gold and silver.  Others consist of bows and boxes that I made myself. 

Making the ornaments on our own really saves a lot of money as the commercial ones do not come cheap at all.  This year, I have made a few to add to our collections.

1)   The christmas trees were made by twisting a fine golden wire and ended with a loop.  Gold thread was threaded through the loop.  The beaded version was made by threading the wire with pearl beadlets.

2)  The angel's head consists of a ping pong ball with some polyfiber glued as hair.  The head was then glued to the body which is made of cardboard.  A bow, served as wings is attached to the back.  There is an angelic circlet made of silver wire on the head though it is not visible in the picture.  Eyes and mouth were drawn with marker pen.

3)  Silver beads were used to make the circlets.  Bows of purple or green color were tied at the upper side of the circlet.

5)  Winged silver beads with bow

 

6)  Fairy repurposed from pine cone and orb. 

All the ornaments are pretty on their own.  However, when they are put in combination with the LED lights, the effect is superb!  This is really a cheap and nice way of decorating the christmas tree.
