Fa la la la la la la la la…Wow! Just a few more weeks till Christmas! I have been seeing Christmas decors being put up in malls, and in some houses, and gardens in my neighborhood. I myself am also preparing and I love to decorate my little Christmas tree. I got the chance to go window shopping for some Christmas decors, but whoa, decors are becoming more and more expensive nowadays. So, I had this wonderful idea that instead of buying Christmas ball ornaments, I thought, why not make some myself? With some nylon strings plus lots of colorful beads in different sizes, sprinkled with IMAGINATION and CREATIVITY, topped with FUN equals…
TADDAH!
MY CHRISTMAS BALL ORNAMENTS
And that was fun to make!!!
In making these Christmas ball ornaments I used crystal beads so it is shinier and it has a different effect when Christmas lights reflect on them. I made them in just an hour or so and what is wonderful is that I was able to finish a few pieces while watching TV.
Cheers to me!!!
I do not even have to go out, buy expensive Christmas ball ornaments in boxes with only two or three colors in one box because you cannot buy them in assorted colors. Some are even in one color only. You cannot even choose the colors you like. Unlike when you know how to make them, you can have all the colors you like hanging from your Christmas tree. What is even more wonderful is that they are also washable. Of course, even when they are kept in boxes dusts gets on the beads and it takes away their shine.
I am going to make more Christmas ball ornaments and maybe I can give some to my friends as an early gift for Christmas. And every Christmas they will remember me as they hang their Christmas ball ornaments.
