treepics ornamentsI thought I would give an update on the clay ornaments we made two years ago.

When I took them out this year they had started to disintegrate a bit.

They still look okay but are a little rough.

Not sure if they will last another year.

pictureornament twine woodenornamentI also made these picture ornaments a couple years ago and they are holding up great!

All I used was scrapbook paper, wooden plaques, and modpodge.

I assembled them and then drilled two holes in the top.

I would really like to make one for each year, they are my favorite ornaments!

My house finally looks like Christmas!
