my true love gave to me.... more ornaments of the family..
One of my favourite things to make at Christmas is personalised Christmas Balls. A few years ago I made my Nanna one ball for everyone in her family (that took while ;) My mother put in an order as we have had a few additions to our families in the last few years and I have to play catch up. They can be put on the tree or strung in a line like my grandmother does. My mother in law even put all her balls in the shape of a tree pinned to a wall in the house.
Basically you buy some plain balls some PVA glue and glitter.
I like to find a small round container which will hold the ball while I write on it with the glue. Then sprinkle glitter over the name, and shake off excess.
Add a bow, I bought these bows premade 12 for $2 at overflow
Now make one for everyone in your family :)

Aww Bobbie, they are beautiful! Lilah's name looks pretty in glitter :)
These are beautiful. Truely. I love glitter. I am sure they will look great with all the little lights around them. m
These are so simple and elegant.
My mum made me quite a few beaded ornaments for our tree and last year I dedided that I would love our tree to just have home made ornaments. This year I can see myself making these.
Really pretty idea Bobbie. I love that you are so on the "ball".
