My mom and I decorated my booths at the antique mall for Christmas. You can see what it looks like here: Antique Mall Booth Update for Christmas
Doing that helped get me in the mood for some Christmas crafts 😄
Today I'm sharing some cute ornaments I made from recycled Little Golden Books.
Recycled Little Golden Book Ornaments
On to the project! Here are the supplies you'll need to make these:
Supplies:
- Wood Slices Ornaments
- Mod Podge - Matte Finish
- Baker's Twine
- Small Colored Jingle Bells
- Little Golden Book - Amazon has new books or Etsy has vintage books
I found some wood slice ornaments on the clearance aisle at JoAnn's at 70% off so I couldn't pass them up even though this project hadn't even formulated in my mind yet.
I had some old Little Golden Books in my craft room so I thought it would be fun to use the two together to make some cute Christmas ornaments.
The ornaments I found had jute hangers on them which I removed. You may need to drill holes if yours don't already have them.
You could also use round paper mache ornaments for these.
TIP: The key to having no wrinkles when using Modge-Podge is to coat the surface of your item AND the backside of the paper piece with a coat then use an old credit card to smooth out any wrinkles.
I also cut out some of the words that matched the images I chose and added them to the backs of each ornament.
Add a hanger and a jingle bell. I used colored baker's twine and colored jingle bells for the hangers on my ornaments.
You can use jute twine, yarn, etc.
Last year I created a banner out of Little Golden books.
