\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With jingle bells in the air, I’ve got my crafting\u00a0on <\/em>these days, and it’s like Santa’s workshop around here. K made these beaded snowflake ornaments last year (using this<\/a>) and they add great sparkle to our tree – aren’t they pretty?<\/p>\n

In a couple of weeks winter break will start, which means loads and loads of extra time with K. I’ve been gathering a jillion craft and diy ideas and thought I would feature a few of my favorites every week – it’ll be an easy reference for me for those moments when screechings of “I’m bored<\/em>!!” begin. Some of these may be a bit advanced for very little ones, but would be fun ideas for a crafty party with grown-up friends.<\/p>\n

For this week, I’ve scoured the net for handmade ornament inspiration!<\/p>\n

GLASS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a02<\/a><\/p>\n

I love the idea of bringing nature inside of a glass ornament and how beautiful are those ombre ones?<\/p>\n

GLITTER + SPARKLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a02<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a03<\/a><\/p>\n

Every tree deserves some bling. I think the miniature tinsel wreaths en masse would be so darling.<\/p>\n

FELT<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a02<\/a><\/p>\n

Give me a piece of felt, and I can happily craft for hours. I especially like these two – one for the kirigami<\/a>-inspired style and the other for the unexpectedly cute humor.<\/p>\n

WOOD<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a02<\/a><\/p>\n

These gorgeous wooden ornaments are by artist Leise Dich Abrahamsen<\/a> and are so inspirational! I wouldn’t copy it exactly of course, but it would be fun to make balsa wood ornaments with movable joints. And those washi tape + toothpick stars are too sweet.<\/p>\n

DOUGH + CLAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a02<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a03<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a04<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a05<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s something intensely satisfying about shaping ornaments by hand out of clay or dough. The added bonus of the gingerbread (1) and cinnamon\/applesauce (3) cookie ornaments is that your house will smell cozy and delicious. And the clay feather! Must absolutely make.<\/p>\n

I hope these inspire you too and I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon with the Happy Friday outfit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
