Bell Jar Ornaments

I found the idea for these in

Gooseberry Patch Christmas book 13

They are called bell jar ornaments and are simply made

using disposable plastic wine glasses.

I have used the top of a few old baubles to attach a loop

through, so that I can hang them on my tree.

The first has is a plastic tree from one of my son's train

sets. I just glued some beads and gems and things on

it to make it look like a christmas tree.

the next one has a reindeer wine bottle cork stopper

and a christmas hair clip

and one for my daughter...a fairy :o)

I am linking up for the first time with

Christmas through the year

Beaded Christmas Baubles

I made some beaded Christmas baubles for my christmas tree

they are very easy to make, just some polystyrene balls,

lots of beads, sequins, ribbon and any other trim you

may like. You can buy thinner pins, but I have used

dressmaker pins and a couple have hat pins as well.

Oh and very important, if you are going to use any

glue, use pva not the clear craft glues as they will

just eat into your polystyrene ball :o)

here is a close up of some...

Hello

I love making Christmas things all through out the year

so I have decided that it is time to start a blog that shares

all things christmas!

The name "Two Turtledoves"was inspired by my beautiful

children, I have a girl and a boy that were both born

in December (4 years apart). As the song says

On the second day of christmas my true love gave to me

two turtledoves.....

and a gift they really are, from the love of my life :o)
