Christmas Accent Craft

Welp, this is the 3rd week of Red Writing's 12 weeks of christmas and this week is accent crafts. Go on over and join up, you could win a spectacular prize!!!!!!When i went to the antique store not long ago, i found some old vintage white christmas balls. There were bags of them for $1.00 a piece. So i bought them all!!!! I was intending on using them for something else but as i was parusing the internet i came across a tutorial on how to make a wreath out of christmas ornaments. I was like sweet, i know wxactly what im going to use these babys for. So i began and for my first one i have to say that i am quite pleased on how it turned out! i will be hanging this on my daughters playhouse. you can find the tutorial here http://www.eddieross.com/eddie_ross/2008/12/no-wire-hangers-well-maybe-just-one.html

  3. That is so pretty! I read your post yesterday and today came across a clearance table that had boxes of Christmas balls 25cents for 16 balls! I bought 3 boxes. Do you know how many balls you used? I am eager to try it. Unfortunately my daughter came home with flu-like symptoms (here we go!) so it may be a while before I get to play.

  5. I love your pink wreath. That is gorgeous! I would probably end up putting it out for Easter, too cuz it is too pretty to only come out once a year.
