Vintage Inspired Ornaments

Instead of shopping, I spent the better part of the weekend making ornaments to sell in town.

Here are a few examples and since I nearly made 4-5 coordinating ones, I have quite a few to decorate the tree at the shop. The top pic is a simple paper fairy.

This next one is a bottle brush tree I bleached and paired with a sweet little metal cup I found at Goodwill (actually I found 6 of them!).

The next is made using a digital collage I made in photoshop in which I colored the original illustration of the mad tea party and set it in Paris.

Here are some more teacup bottle brush trees but this time they are in pretty little off-white cups I again bought at Goodwill (10 of these!)

Another Goodwill find! A package of 48 little peat pots for a buck! I made some more paper fairies and put them inside the pots that were decorated with lace and tinsel ribbon -or as me and my bff Melissa calls it...TINSEL CRACK! As you can see I used it on EVERYTHING.

Another peat pot fairy...

And for a little different twist... a peat pot bird!

And I wanted to make a few Paris inspired ornies. This one has a little bottle brush tree on it.

I had my DH bend a few old spoons I had lying around so I could hang them on the tree. I love this image of this little girl. She reminds me of my niece, Ashlynn.

And I had to jump on the clock face bandwagon! Just a simple face glued onto a recycled cd disc.

I have several of these in different faces.

Thanks so much for stopping by and please mosey on over to Melissa's blog, Honey Girl Studio, where she has a fabulous tutorial on how to make a special holiday decoration using chicken wire!
