Upcycled Christmas Ornaments

November 20, 2015~ Christmas, DIY and craft projects, upcycle project

You know me, I love to thrift or make a lot of my items. I do buy things, but I try to limit that as much as possible. Heck, I even thrifted the masson jars in my Peppermint vodka DIY!

Now that you know that, you’ll love my up cycled Christmas ornaments!

I was going through my jewelry table the other day and came across an old necklace of mine. I loved it! It was my favourite! Until I broke it en route to New York for Easter this past spring. I could fix it, but I haven’t worn it in ages and can think a million and one things to do with it – namely, up cycled Christmas ornaments!

You only need a few things for this DIY, and it can be done with any kind of necklace. You could even make a trip to Goodwill looking for necklaces for this exact DIY.

Materials
Necklace
Hot glue gun
Needle-nose plyers
Ribbon

Instructions

Step 1: Start by removing the little metal hoops holding the components of your necklace together. Be sure to save them for later, so don’t destroy them in the process of uncoupling your necklace

Step 2: Make your bow. I like the old fashioned Colonal Sanders bow tie (I’m sure there’s another name for this type of bow…?). You’ll need three pieces of ribbon per bow. One longer piece that you’ll fold-in onto itself to create the top loops, and then two smaller pieces that will be the “tail” end of the bow.

I secure the loop part of the bow with hot glue. Hold off on gluing the tail bits to the loops.

Step 3: Glue the loop to the back of the piece of necklace.

Step 4: Glue the two tails to the back of the piece of necklace.

Step 5: This is where we saved all those little loops for! Close them back up securely, because this is what the ornament hanger will hinge on.

Step 6: Glue the loops to the back of the bow.

Step 7: Affix an ornament hanger and hang!

Step 8: Admire. I mean look at them! They’re so pretty with their bows, and just imagine them back-light?!

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
