I have joined forces with six other awesomespice bloggers to bring you several Christmas Decorating ideas and projects. Each day one of us will be featuring a Christmas project or decorating idea on our own blog. We’ll be sharing the links to everyone elses projects on our social media (twitter, facebook, pinterest) so you can easily find them.
Tuesday is my day! I’m getting the post up late (sorry!) because of an emergency appendectomy last night for my son. I’ll give you more details about him later tonight or tomorrow.
I’m sharing a super-simple idea for making some cheap and sparkly ornaments for your Christmas tree.
(I originally posted this tutorial last year)
This is seriously the easiest ornament in the world to make, yet one of my very favorites…
Silver Tinsel Ornaments
To make these simple sparkle ornaments you will need only two items:
* clear glass ornaments & silver garland
Simply cut the garland into 1″ strips and stuff into each of the glass ornaments.
Pop the top back on and twist an ornament hook onto each ornament.
Complete by hanging on your Christmas Tree!

adorable! I totally want to make a bunch now! I love how simple yet modern and funky they are!
Sorry to hear about your son! Hope things are going better now…hospital stays are the worst for everyone involved. : (
Super simple and brilliant! This is totally the kind of project where I feel like “Why didn’t I think of that?” 🙂 Hope your son is on the mend! Kids have a way of bouncing back so quickly it can make your head spin!

It isn’t letting me pin this 🙁
If you click the pin it button at the top or bottom of the post it will let you pin. If you try to pin from a pin it button in your own browser the images are unpinnabe (thanks flickr.) I will get the images working as soon as possible. I have to move them to my own image hosting. Sorry!
Love these ornaments – so creative and pretty! Just wanted to let you know I featured your post in my roundup of glass ornament crafts here. Feel free to check it out if you want and hope you like it! : )
