My Favorite Holiday Craft 2009

So this holiday season, i have been in quite a crafty mood. For some reason the scrapbooking has taken a back burner this holiday season & i have focused more on crafts. This includes everything from making snowmen lit jars, hand stamped tile coasters, photo magnets, miniature tile magnets, picture frames, handmade card sets, etc etc. However, my favorite craft i made for gift giving this year were these cute glass ornaments.
I made them with children's names across the front of some.....
And some with just an initial....All of those were in cute colors, but i made an entire batch for all the teachers & assitant teachers of the boys in Christmas colors & they turned out just as cute! Basically this is what you do to make these (if interested)... I cut out (6) 3/4 in vinyl circles on my cricut for the larger dot, then i cut out the same number of 1/2 in. circles to layer over the larger ones. Then i used whichever font i preferred to cut a letter at 1 3/4 in to place in the center. Then i added a ribbon to the top & sprayed a spray glitter over the exterior of the whole thing. I just LOVED them & made them for days! Go get some glass balls on holiday clearance & make a big batch for next year!!
