Pick of the Week ~ Fun & Easy Holiday Ornaments

This week it is my turn for the Pick of the Week. There is still time to make a couple of these easy, simple, nice ornaments that won’t break, can be mailed easily and are just fun.

Let’s gather supplies.

STAZ-ON ink is the ink of choice for this to turn out well. Coloring medium is colored pencils, wood ornaments (available on line, hand cut, or at Hobby Lobby) and stamps. The wood ornament was bought at Hobby Lobby in a package of 6 and ribbon was already through the hole. I choose to make my ornaments using Repeat Impressions’ stamps:
2012-H Poinsettia
2102-M PEACE
A crop-a-dile for punching the hole in the ornament, and ribbon or cording for hanging.

I stamped the image on my wood ornaments - make sure your image is sized for adequate image placement. I let it dry just a couple of minutes.

image colored with colored pencils, colors very easily on the wood. I used some Nuvo dots for the center of the poinsettia, and a gold pen to highlight the letters on the Peace ornament.

Using my Crop-a-dile I was able to punch the hole in the center for my ribbon/cording to go through.

Finished ornament.

These are quick, fun, and easy - and yes you will still have time to make a few for this year. You could use them as a tag on a package or just give as an ornament. I have made several of these this year and sent them to family and my chemo buddies for their trees.
