Hi Everyone! This year for Christmas I wanted do something special here on the blog. So, here's what I came up with! Everyday this week I'm going to be doing a post on my handmade Christmas ornaments. I hope it will inspire you to get out your supplies, and maybe make a few of your own to decorate your tree or give as a gift. At the end of the week on Friday, we'll have one lucky winner who will win a $50 gift certicate to my online store so they can stock up on supplies to make their own Christmas ornaments. Keep reading to find out how to enter.
Supplies Used: Melissa France Cottage Ornament, glue gun, white acrylic paint, 12x12 Foil Cardstock Silver, mini holly leaves, seambinding, tinsel ribbon, and a mini red rose.
This adorable little chipboard Cottage Ornament comes naked, flat, and easy to assemble and decorate. I painted the entire house with white acrylic paint, hot glued the window and door lattice in place, glued mirrored silver cardstock behind them, and then hot glued the house, base, and roof together. I hot glued the ornament hanger in place, and covered the roof in more silver cardstock. I then decorated with tinsel, seambinding, and a mini holly leaf.

These are perfect on the tree for ornaments.
Love the way you decorated them and gave them that shiny roof for Santa to land on Christmas Eve.

This ornament reminds me of the old village houses that my mom used to have out when we were little. They belonged to her parents. They were my favorites :)
