As the Christmas season is rolling around, I've been itching to do Christmassy things. I began today by making some homemade Christmas ornaments. I found a number of cute homemade Christmas ornament ideas at this website: http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/homemade-christmas-ornaments-to-make.html, just in case anyone is interested.
When making these ornaments, I used a combination of scrapbook paper, construction paper, and extra Christmas cards that my sister and I never sent out. A good idea is even using the inside saying of a Christmas card as part of the decoration, rather than just what's on the front. The construction paper had been sitting around here for a long time too, so all I had to buy was a bit of scrapbook paper. Part of the fun of making these ornaments is by being as creative as you can by using leftover things you have around the house.
I plan on taping these on presents in place of (or with) bows this year. Then the people that are getting gifts from me this year can put them on their trees next year. Of course, I'm making extras so I'll probably end up with a few of my own too.
