Pink and Black Chic Ornament- Tutorial

If you haven't entered the Scrapbook goodies Giveaway, click on "Current Giveaway" above to enter!

A few days ago, I saw some foam balls in my closet that I bought at the Dollar Tree a year or so ago.  I racked my brain for a cute ornament I could make with it.

I wanted to make an ornament that wasn't your traditional Green and Red, sooooo here is what I came up with!

Here's the list of supplies you will need:

-white foam balls (dollar tree!)
-Modge Podge (Michaels, Joanns, hobby lobby)
-fabric (ripped into 3/4 x 5 inches long (I like the ripped look)
-buttons
-ribbon
-glue gun

Sorry I didn't do step by step pictures, but this is such an easy craft.  Who needs pictures, right?

1. Cover the ball with strips of fabric coated with modge podge.  I wasn't real picky about whether the fabric was smoothed down.  I just wrapped it around the ball.  Do this with strips of fabric until you cover the whole ball.

2.  Let dry overnight. This is an important step.  It takes about 8-12 hrs to dry completely.

3.  Glue on coordinating buttons in random places.

4.  Glue a ribbon bow on top, with a coordinating ribbon for the loop.  I glued the loop under the bow.

5.  Your done!  Let it dry completely of course before you hang it on your tree.

I like how it turned out.  I wish I would  have used glossy Modge Podge, but it is still pretty!  Have fun with it!

Mother's Day Cards for your Favorite MOM and FREE SHIPPING!

I just listed these pretty Mother's Day cards in my Etsy shop! I can't believe how fast this month has gone....Mother's Day is May 10th! I have listed lots of new things recently in my shop, including Mother's Day cards.
Making cards is one of my favorite hobbies. It is so fun to create something with pretty paper!
Do you have a hard time thinking of something to give your mom for Mother's day? I know I do. My Mom doesn't need any little knick knacks, books, or decorations for her house....But she loves to give people cards! How about a set of cards for your Mother or Mother-in-law? Cards are so expensive in the stores, and they are so corny. I love to get hand made cards from people and I know they love to get them too.
Check out my Etsy shop for lots of pretty hand made greeting cards for a great price too!
****If you mention that you read my blog and make a comment here, I will give you free shipping in my shop! Convo me before you make your order and I will take off the shipping. How does that sound for an awesome deal? Go check it out!
