Welcome to the 5th annual 12 Days of Holiday Ideas event, hosted by Shirley of Intelligent Domestications and Erlene of My Pinterventures Between Nov. 11th and December 6th there will be hundreds of new ideas shared by over 55 Co-host bloggers! Today we're sharing all sorts of wonderful DIY Christmas ornament ideas. Create more small branches on each wire branch by folding the wire over itself and twisting small sections. (See the video for more detail on how to do this.)Step 4: Start gluing on groups of mistletoe, varying how many leaves you use each time. Leave a gap, then add another wooden bead, then more mistletoe. Cut a 12-inch piece of thin velvet ribbon and glue the ends together to create a loop. This will be how you hang your mistletoe. Pull one length of wire out of the bundle, and continue twisting the rest of the wires together (again, one or two good twists). Pull out a second strand of wire, and continue twisting the rest. Follow this pattern until you are left with just two wire branches in the center stem. Using white thread, sew the white seed beads onto the stem, in groups of 3-5. How to attach a hairclip to felt mistletoe
Continue gluing on mistletoe pieces until you like the finished look. Then glue on your berries, trying to evenly disperse them. Now you’re ready to cut! Line your mat with your felt—I used 3 shades of green. Insert your Rotary Blade into your Tool 2 carriage and select “Felt, Acrylic” for your material. Make sure your tool and action say “Rotary Blade” and “Rotary Cut,” respectively. Step 1: Start by preparing your felt. Apply some fabric stiffener to your sheet of white felt. While it's drying, draw four or five different mistletoe shapes on to some card and cut them out. These don't need to be perfect, simply draw them freehand. You can look online for inspiration for what type of shape to draw. Or if you prefer you could print off an image of a mistletoe and use it as a template.Step 2: When the felt is completely dry, use the templates to draw around on to the felt. Then, cut them out, aiming to cut away any of the pencil marks. Though don't worry too much about this as a from a distance any pencil lines won't be visible. This pretty garland is made from fabric but doesn't require sewing – making it perfect for beginner crafters who don't have a sewing machine. What is a Christmas garland? If you’d prefer a felt mistletoeornament rather than a hairclip, add a hanging loop of elastic or ribbon. A bunch of three sprigs makes a cute ornament. Watch the video at the top of the post to see how I did it.
Taking time to decorate your home for the holidays is one of the joys of the season.
