Crafts – Page 5 – HOME ON THE CORNER

Hi everyone! I have something special to share with you today! I know it’s a little early to be sharing Christmas ideas, but Erlene at My Pinterventures is hosting a 2015 Ornament Exchange. She has partnered 80+ bloggers to exchange ornaments and we want to share our creations or special finds with you! So, if you’re looking for some holiday ornament craft tutorials or ornament inspiration, you’ve come to the right place!

2015 Ornament Exchange

Today is Day 10. If you want to go back and start at the beginning and see all the great ideas, click here. I was so excited to receive an email from Erlene about who my ornament exchange partner would be. I was even more excited to learn it would be Erlene herself! She wrote to me that this year her tree will be a deep rich red, gold, and white. There isn’t a theme, just a variety of ornaments in those colors and she likes unusual ornaments. Well, I love the white and gold idea, so I went with that. Lauren picked out the idea for the ornament and then I went shopping for the supplies. Here are the papers I chose: a gold glitter, golden stripes, clear vellum with gold hexagons, and I had white sparkly on hand.

I also bought the egg shaped styrofoam ball. I had the circle punch already and of course, my glue gun. I started out by punching out the circles from each of the papers. I needed quite a bit, more than I thought I would. I kept running out!

I started at the narrow end of the egg. I glued on each circle, overlapping them as I went around. Then I added the next layer, overlapping the first layer too.

Here it is about half way done. I love how it is turning out!

After all the circles were attached, I added gold twine to the top for hanging. I think this looks so pretty! It will look even better when the lights from the tree make it sparkle and shine!

I tried it out on white branches too.

Today, I’m excited to be kicking off day 10 of the Ornament Exchange, along with these other great ladies. Just click on their link to go see what they have made!

Ruthie & Lucy

Refashionably Late | Facebook | Pinterest | G+ | Instagram | Twitter

My name is Ruthie, I was born and raised in the Midwest. I met the man of my dreams in Nashville, TN and decided to follow him back home to California. First came love, then came marriage, then came the baby in the baby carriage. We have a beautiful little girl named Lucy. My husband got a new job when Lucy was 2 months old and we packed up and moved half way across the country to Minnesota, back to my homeland. We bought a house that needed a little TLC, so here I am! I created this blog to share my journey of home ownership and my passion for furniture restoration. While creating my dream home I also love to spend time with my family, sing barbershop and teach littles about music!

Welcome our Co-Host

Meet Lauren & Pamela of Home on the Corner, two of our new Co-Hosts for the next two weeks.

Hello! We are Lauren and Pam Smith, a mother/daughter blogger duo who love to create together. Pamela is a wife, mom, teacher, organizer,and crafter. I love to decorate my home in a beachy, but neutral style, finding things at thrift stores and garage sales, and then making them my own. I like creating and scrap-booking. Our family is dog crazy (we have three) and likes to travel, especially to the beach where I can collect more seashells! My style is always evolving and I enjoying trying new things in my home. Lauren is a college student whose dream is to be an animal physical therapist. I enjoy sipping on Carmel Apple Spice drinks from Starbucks or Pink Star smoothies from Jamba Juice. Pink paint always seems to stay on my hands and the Eiffel Tower continues to decorate my bedroom. I have too much fabric in my closet and not enough time to use all of it. We hope you will come by and pay us a visit!
