String of Ornaments
So....in my quest to dress up my mantle this year....I found a string of ornaments craft on Pinterest (where else...I know!). I thought to myself "oh this would be neat to have hanging from the mantle behind the stockings" and so I set off to gather supplies for it. I bought three tubes of 24 count ornaments, two of which were smaller than the other. As I began to string them onto ribbon, I quickly realized that this was NOT going to be enough for the look I wanted. I returned to Pottery Barn, where I bought one of the tubes and found absolutely NOTHING left! That place has been completely picked clean! I returned home, broken hearted and a little uneasy about my mis-fortune concerning the craft. I expressed my distress with my fiance and his brilliant ass came up with an idea to take the ornaments I had and do with them what I want. Instead of hanging them from the mantle itself, he suggested we hang it from the ceiling....BRILLIANT! Here are photos of the process and the finished product!
