We’ve been enjoying experimenting with ornaments around here! We used this technique to create aged looking mirrored balls for our tree. I love the antique look they have! Here’s the spray paint we used.
Have you tried any crafts (via Pinterest or otherwise) this season? If you found something you tried and loved, please share! xo. elsie
I tried a load of diy xmas ideas i found on pinterest, and some i made up myself! you can see them here:

Elizabeth, the spray is all on the outside of the ornament! :)))
How did you get the LookingGlass spray into the ornaments?
Hello! These are gorgeous, does anyone know of a stockist for this product in the UK? Or an equivalent product? I have google searched without much luck… thanks very much! x
DIY are always nice, but sometimes you see one and it is so perfect because it is simple and revolutionary. I see me coming : this one is simply stunning! I think it is the best christmas idea I never see!

absolutely love this! so creative!!
i like these! i’ve been making tons of decorations trying to use up ancient craft materials so i can buy new ones. i’ma brag here for a second 🙂 first, inspired by pinterest pics i made a bunting from scraps of fabric, and a wreath of homemade yarn scrap pompoms tied to the metal ring from a broken (rip) glass stock pot lid i’d saved. then, i had foam balls to use up or throw in a landfill: i glued faux fur to four of them and trimmed it short to look like furry snowballs; they are under the tree. next there was an apple using red pipecleaners cut into sections and stuck into the ball, complete with felted wool leaf and black ribbon stem, and i did a bavarian flag-wrapped ribbon & blinged-out one. to three i glued a thick white yarn and blinged them, they’re in a red and white striped pot with some rosemary sprigs on the coffee table. last were seven hot glued fabric and wire rosebuds for a topiary. i’ll use them year-round.
i LOVE craft season. i may make more but i’m behind on my gifts :/
BOOM!
these ornaments look so cute, love them!
I love, love, love anything sparkly and those are absolutely gorgeous!

This is so beautiful and elegant. If I had my own Christmas tree I would totally make this too. Sadly, my boyfriend and I live in a really small studio and we don’t have room for a Christmas tree!
It sure is cosy though!
Love, Saar
Oh these are so pretty! I love that finish, so gorgeous!
I tried this feather tree from Martha Stewart:

And got some more inspiration from this tutorial:

And then I made some of my own:

These look amazing! You would never guess they are new.
perfect and neat!
These ornaments came out so beautiful! I think I really need to try that paint….and on more than just ornaments after the holidays.
My mom’s been busy making Christmas ornaments lately too…she’s been making the prettiest starburst ornaments out of paper that I just blogged about! 🙂
I love these!!! Ive been embracing doughcraft this season, using home made cinnamon dough has been my favourite, our house smells gorgeous 🙂
I love the antique look of these as well. Very pretty!
