homemade ornaments
Happiness is homemade.
Planning a holiday get together for my Wisconsin fam and wanted to really give it a “homey” touch. All of us are transplants, so spending the holidays some nostalgia inspired touches can make all the difference.
I have been making a lot of items from scratch lately. Especially cause it’s cold out, gets dark earlier, and you can only watch so much Disney+. I am planning an ornament exchange for our party and wanted to gift something from the heart. I love the look of the dehydrated oranges, so that was my first adventure. The next was traditional salt dough. Peep my baby kittens paw. I found the best way to cut the string hole (is that what it’s called!?) is to use a straw.
I ended up coating both with Modge Podge to give them more durability and shine.
I bought this awesome customized cookie stamp from Etsy Shop ScissorMill.
🧂Salt dough ornaments:
