Sheet Music and Twine Ornaments

Today I'm sharing with you a simple and fun way to make your own Christmas ornaments. I used clear glass ornaments from Hobby Lobby and filled them with strips of vintage sheet music, twine, and red striped ribbon. 

Really anything small and thin can be used inside the ornaments. Since I already had the materials on hand, I just worked with what I had. This year I used a lot of natural elements in my Christmas decor, so these neutral colored ornaments add to the theme.

I displayed them at the store in well worn, vintage sewing machine drawers.

DIY Branch Ornament Tree

Today I want to share with you the branch ornament tree we put together for the store's Christmas Open House. It's a festive and inexpensive way to add a lot of drama on the buffet in your dining room or on a foyer entry table, but really this tree could go anywhere in your home.   

Gather up branches from your yard (or the woods) to fill an urn, planter, or tall container. Then hang 10 or more Christmas ornaments on the branches until you have the look you desire. 

The mercury glass acorn ornaments I used actually came from Walmart last season. I just love the way they reflect and shimmer in the light. So simple and elegant!
