Re: Homemade Christmas ornaments that are really beautiful?
All our homemade ornaments are cute, and some gimpier than others, but none are beautiful in the sophisticated sense of the word.
We ordered some crocheted snowflakes on etsy that are beautiful, though. So some people can make beautiful ornaments- just not me.

I have this exact one. Here's the instructions for making them. I have all of the ones in the first little picture. However, if you click to enlarge, they're different. I also have this exact one. I probably have about 6-8 different designs. Years ago AC Moore sold either a kit with a length of lace & 3 rings or the lace & rings separate to make them. I stocked up. To do them today you'd need to experiment with different lace trimmings to see what would look nice in a ring. |

Re: Homemade Christmas ornaments that are really beautiful?
Define beautiful...
Kusudama flowers are pretty and very simple to make. They can be made out of fabric too. I made them for my bouquet but the paper ones take less effort. There is a kind with a surprise ball, some small fabric squares and pushpins that are easy and pretty. You can make very simple felt ornaments with blanket stitching and a little stuffing. I think we are going to make some Finnish stars. http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy....ke-a-star.html Brb Last edited by Mother of Sons; 12-23-2014 at 06:19 PM. |

Re: Homemade Christmas ornaments that are really beautiful?
This is one of the corsages from my weddings. I'll see if I can find a link with instructions. I think they would make pretty ornaments.
