Snow Globe Ornament and DIY Ornament Roundup

Handmade Christmas Ornaments - Snow Globe Ornament Tutorial on www.orsoshesays.com #ornaments #christmas #diy #christmasornaments #snowglobe #snowglobeornament #snowglobediy

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at my house! When you’re a crafter (especially a craft blogger), you have to get a head start. Don’t worry, I haven’t put up the tree or anything… yet. Anyway, I’m so excited to show you this snow globe Christmas ornament that I made. Doesn’t it just make you want to light a fire, snuggle up, and listen to Christmas carols?

I made it using a clear plastic ball ornament that I found at Hobby Lobby. Unlike a regular ball ornament, this one splits in half so you can fit bigger things inside of it. So many possibilities! The little house ornament and the fake snow came from Michael’s.

Read all about how to make this fun snow globe ornament and get 9 other ornament crafts from my blogger friends!

Grapevine Wire Pumpkins (she: Jessica)

Browsing around the floral section of the craft store, I came across some rustic grapevine floral wire. I used it to make some cute wire pumpkins for the house. They would look so great in a fall tablescape or mantle! I actually used this same technique to make these pipe cleaner and pony bead pumpkins with my kids. They look especially cute grouped with some burlap pumpkins that I made.

Come check them out… they’re simple, cute, and are perfect for both Halloween and Thanksgiving!

Spider Web Halloween Shirt for Kids (she: Jessica)

halloween shirt for kids

I’ve got a really fun and cute Halloween craft for you today! It’s a spider web Halloween shirt made with spider web lace. So cute, right?! I might need to make one for myself!

To make the shirt you will need:

a plain shirt (I got this one in the Target clearance section for $3.00! Awesome!)
spider web lace (Try to get some that doesn’t feel really cheap. You are going to be ironing it, and you don’t want it to melt.)
fusible webbing (Wonder-Under/Pellon 805)
parchment paper
black thread
orange ribbon

Lego Party Favor Bags (she: Jessica)

lego party

Hi, my name is Jessica. I’m so excited to be here as the newest craft contributor! I blog over at Cutesy Crafts where I show off all of the fun things that I make for my kids and my home.

Recently, my son had his 6th birthday party. I always like to make some sort of handmade party favor. Last year, the theme was superheroes. His theme of choice this year? Legos! Seriously, that boy would sit and build Legos all day if I let him! I thought it would be fun for each of the boys at the party to draw a face on their own Lego party favor bag. They turned out so cute!

I bought some cute little 5 1/2 inch tote bags at the craft store and stenciled each bag with a Lego head. I made these stencils using vinyl, but you can also use the freezer paper method. Download the Lego head template here and just cut it out with scissors. Center the stencils on the bags and paint with a matte fabric paint. For the best results, start on the stencil and paint in toward the center. This prevents paint from being pushed under the stencils.
