Ornaments for Exchange


I'm hostessing our local art group's Christmas luncheon and ornament swap tomorrow. These are my exchange ornaments. Photography doesn't do them justice, I think. I printed aged music on both sides of card stock, cut it in quarters longwise, glued into one long strip and accordion pleated it, then stitched around one side and pulled it tight into a circle. The centers are recycled Christmas cards, and the edges are dipped in glue and glitter, which doesn't show. I can't wait to see what everyone else has done!

  1. Fantastic, Bev. Lucky people who receive these to hang on their trees. The photos never do justice to handmade work, especially when there is bling involved. Thanks for sharing these with a handcrafts-impaired person!!
