My first attempt at making an ornament. Made this one with my 12 y o daughter in mind, as good gifts for her friends-turns out she loves them and requested them for Christmas gifts before I even made the suggestion! I need help though, can't seem to find a way to top it off with a bow. I tried this funky hot pink garland-UGLY, then a hot pink paper rafia tie-even worse, so Iam reaching out to you for HELP!!

Very cute! Have you tried a piece of fancy fiber? Maby something that will look like a boa.

This is adorable! Is she stamped on the ornament or inside the ornament? I bought twelve glass balls and am not sure how to stamp them. As for the ribbon - I've seen the fancy fiber used as a boa and it is a cute touch. TIA for your help.

This is very cute! I would like one for myself. As far as topping it off with something, how about some wire? You can wrap it around a pencil to make coils or you can even put it through your paper crimper (that's a lot of fun)and it comes in a lot of fun colors. Tonya
MEL! They are so so so cute - the one I made for the triplets (which I forgot to scan) was a HUGE hit for their birthday! I love love love the one you did!

GREAT job! I love the use of something non-Christmas in the ornament ball. It makes me realize that there are many more stamp sets I could use to make Christmas ornaments customized to the personality of the person I want to give them too. It makes them more personal and more special and that's one of the things I look for in my Christmas ornament giving.

This is so cute! I love the square confetti... it is so appropriate! I also like the suggestion that was made about using fancy fibers. I think it will "tie" in nicely!
