I gave the ornaments two coats of green paint and then painted polka dots all over. I used a paint marker to outline the dots - I hung them from pencils to dry:
I then used a black marker to write an initial on each, and added a few more dots and a bow to finish it off:
I packaged them in little gift boxes with shredded krinkled paper.I went to Goodwill and bought some gold ornaments and dolled them up, too. This was actually much quicker as they already had a base coat of color. I sat in front of the TV and whipped up 6 in no time at all - a very relaxing craft for me to do because I love to doodle!!
How cute! What a lovely thoughtful gift.

ReplyDeleteYour ornaments turned out so cute, Patti! I love the pink and green, they could be displayed all year. Thanks for linking to my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, and about the lacey cookies...yes, my recipe says to bake for 10-20 minutes, you just have to keep an eye on them. They should be a golden brown & not runny but crispy. Once you make your first batch you should know how long to cook them.
Happy Holidays!
