We had so many weddings this summer it was unbelievable! I was very honored to be in the bridal party of a couple really close friends. My cousin Molly was as well and decided to do something really nice for a few of our brides. She saved her bridesmaid flowers, programs, and ribbon from the weddings and made them some beautiful "Our First Christmas" ornaments.
What You'll Need
- clear glass ball ornaments
- fancy ornament hooks
- a pen that can write on glass/plastic
- dried flowers from the wedding
- program/invitation from the wedding
- (optional) if you have ribbon from the bouquet put that in too
How To Make It
- I would recommend drawing with your pens on the ornament first, without the 'stuffing' you can see your penmanship a lot better
- while your ink is drying, cut the invitation or program into small strips, it looks nicer if you cut it so the names and date are clearly visible
- curl your strips of invitation/program
- carefully remove the top 'cap' from the glass ball ornament
- stuff ornament with flowers first and then insert the curled strips of invitation/program
- carefully reattach the ornament 'cap' and attach your fancy hook
- BAM, you're done
