Super super cool Christmas tree ornament craft

Sunday, September 28, 2008

So this would be for a Christmas Tree but You could even alter it for just a decoration for around the house... very sinple to make just a winter decoration.

It is clear glass ball and you have a small pine cone with some sprigs of pine inside. Ther eis aslo one with popcorn inside. This one made me think of my hubby who loves popcorn.

I saw these while looking at HGTV site. They are super easy to do, and very inexpensive. A great craft to whip together on an afternoon. And a great bonus, older children can help and even younger children can help with adult supervision.


Pine Cone and Popcorn Ornaments
For instance, Rogene soaks small pine cones in water until they're pliable, then slips them though the top of the ornament with a sprig of pine from the tree. She finishes by adding some white flakes inside the ornament and a raffia tie to the outside to top it off.

Next, learn about the popcorn ornament. To make this ornament, remove the cap from a clear glass ball ornament, add in a teaspoon or so of unpopped popcorn, place the ball without the cap in a small paper bag, then pop it in the microwave for a minute or so until the corn pops. Microwave times will vary with different ovens and ornament sizes so experiment until you find the right formula.
