I've always wanted to decorate some of the plastic clear ornaments that are in the craft stores these days. So Boss' Day was last week and my boss LOVES Christmas so I decided to decorate some of the Christmas ornaments for her.
Using vinyl, my Silhouette and my mom's Cricut Explore (which I LOVEEEE), I cut vinyl to decorate the balls. Now, I will say that this is one of the EASIEST projects to make and it looks oh so pretty!!
I decorated the first ornament to look like Santa Claus. I filled the inside of the ornament with red strips of paper. For the buckle, I used rhinestones and formed a square.
The next ornament I cut out JOY for both sides of the ornament. I filled this ornament with strips of silver glitter paper.
Next, I cut out Let It Snow and a Snowflake. This ornament is filled with - no, not snow - epson salt. Doesn't it look like snow though??
Last, but not least, I cut out my boss' initials and filled with white sheer ribbon.
Once I finished all the ornaments, I made a box to house the ornaments. I scored the paper at 2" and folded up the sides for the bottom. I cut a piece of thick cardboard and covered with red paper and adhered to the bottom of the box to make it more sturdy.
For the top - I cut out a scalloped square with my Silhouette and scored to form the sides. Then I tied a very pretty red bow around it.
Now, when I gave it to my boss this morning, she SCREAMED with joy!! She LOVED it!!! She loves when I make her things and she especially loved this because it was Christmas!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!! We appreciate your visits and your comments!! Please come back tomorrow - I have another project to show you. It's for Halloween and for my husband's secret pal at work!! Until another day, God Bless You!! Donna
The ornaments turned out great!!
