Handmade Holidays ...

Girlfriends deserve a little something extra...that's why I decided to make a little gift for some very special ones that I'll be seeing tomorrow....Just a little something to remember the Christmas of 2012 and perhaps brighten up their tree.

Clear Glass Ball Ornament

Something a little Dainty

I'd like to make one for each of you, but since I can't, I decided to show you how.  Maybe you'd like to make some for your friends too... 

• You'll need clear glass ornaments (found in most craft stores)

You can fill them with whatever you'd like, but this is what I used:

• White snow flakes 
• Silver beaded garland and floral picks for the bangles (I just cut them apart)
• White feathers
• Little silver bells
• And finally, silver tinsel to tie around the top

Hanging the bell was a little tricky, that's why I showed you how I did it in the collage above... Once I figured it out, it was easy peasy and believe me, that little bell makes all the difference... 

Now, all I need to do is add a name tag to each one, 

and they're ready for the giving.
