Ornament Exchange

This year we participated in an ornament exchanged hosted by The Crafty Crow blog. We made 5 ornaments in the Fairy Tale theme and sent them to the 5 people in our group. And then we waited for our 5 ornaments to arrive. The kids and I had fun creating and then awaiting the mail. Great tradition to start.


Here are the different ornaments we received. The last one was a castle made out of Legos. It lasted about 3 minutes with my lego lovers. They had to dissemble it so they could build a bigger, better .... ahhh the possibilities of Legos.

We decided to make winter fairies.

First we painted a (cinnamon scented) pine cone with modge podge.


Second we sprinkled it with glitter.


Then we cut out white wings out of felt.


Drew faces on small wooden balls.


And attached it all together with a hot glue gun and finally adding a wire hook.


Naturally the kids expressed their creativity when they made their own.
