Easy last minute ornaments

Need a quick and easy present this year? How about if you can make each one for under 3.00? Yes? Let me show you how. Grab a 4 pack of big glass ornaments (if you wanted to stretch your dollar even more grab the normal size ornaments, I believe they come in an eight pack. Score!) a pack of scrapbook rub ons & some ribbon and package filler.

Grab your ornament and center your image and start rub rub rubbin.

I tried two methods, starting from the center and moving my way out, and starting from one end to the other.

I liked the first one. I'm sure there's a really good scientific reason for that maddness but I just thought it worked better. Getting out the bubbles better from the middle? Who knows, but this one wasn't from the inside -> outside technique and ended up a little wonky. Darn you crappy Y, darn you!

I think I'll give that to Grandma, she can't turn down my wonky ornament, and she loves anything I make. Ahh, Gram's aren't they great? *Sigh*

Back to the ornaments. Once you have it the way you want it, stuff some filler in it. I'm not sure if you can mess this up, my four year old did pretty awesome at it.

Then take your better ornament and grab some ribbon and tie it on, my ribbon was a little too fire engine red compared to the brick red color in the rub on but at the time it's what I had, and well.. You know I like using what I have! :)

See here I used some of my silver stickers from the Memory Jar? Love it. So pretty. Can't beat homemade, and under 3 bucks--or less!

Lastly, because it's cute. The girl who wont stop growing no matter how much I tell her to knock it off..
