Ornaments


To make these ornaments just print out some Christmas or holiday sayings that you like on some scrapbooking paper.  Apply the sayings to thin pieces of wood with Mod Podge.  (For our craft day, everything was already prepared for us.  The wooden rectangles already had little holes punched in the top for the wire and there was a wide selection of holiday sayings on various colored paper to choose from at the table.)  Add a thin layer of Mod Podge to the surface.  You could apply glossy or matte finish Mod Podge depending on your preference.  Once dry, cut some wire to the desired length and push through the small holes at the top of the wood.  Add some bells and curl the ends of the wire with pliers or a pencil.  You can put them on your Christmas tree as ornaments or attach them to presents or food tins as gift tags!  I really liked making these because, again, there are so many ways to make them.  Paint them whatever color you want, sand them to give them a rustic look, or give them a shiny appearance with a Mod Podge finish.  Use black or brown wire, silver or rusty colored bells.  The choices are endless!
