This ornament has the most sentimental value. I made it with my mom when I was 5 years old. We were living in Hialeah at the time. I remember sitting at a table in the "Florida" room. We had all the sequins layed out in front of us. She would have me pick out a color and then she would place it on the foam bace and put a straight pin through it. I would then push the pin in the rest of the way with a thimble on my finger. That was 1968. It's held up pretty good. The memory I'll cherish for as long as I have one. Doing something like this is something I recommend to anyone who has a young child. Believe me, It will stay with them forever.

Just playing with my new DIY light tent made from a cardboard box, tissue paper, and posterboard. The instructions I used are here.
Wrapping our gifts for loved ones, we hope they bring joy to them !
USED:
Mixed Ribbon Including:
Rose vintage lace trim
Brown sheer dotted ruffled trim
Aqua & Mocha rose trim ( I snipped each rose off & Used them as centerpieces!)
Chocolate Brown mini pom pom trim
Jute loop fringe trim
Jute string <-- lots of this adds a great vintage feel !
Vintage fabric covered brad fastenings ( for the centre of roses!)
Metal xmas themed brads.. Dovecraft Jolly Happy Xmas.
Teal & Caramel Velvet ribbon.
And a huge 25m reel of 10mm gold glitter ribbon, which came in handy everywhere, even for adding little gold bows to the gift tags to spruce them up!
Glittered Pinecones, in bright purple, turquise blue, gold & brown!) ..
Small, bright pink metal bells and Red Berries on wire stems.
The gift tags are made from kraft card business card blanks, distressed edges with Tim Holtz Tea & Linen distress Inks, and stamped with various xmas stamps ( mostly Inkadinkado ) in a hap hazard way to make them look aged too!)...
We used 3 wrapping papers, all based on Kraft paper, which we bought a large roll of, (so much cheaper than xmas wrapping paper!!!) then we matched two Paperchase designs with them, and mixed all designs with everyones gifts, so every person got one each of the patterned papers and any extra parcels were wrapped in plain kraft paper ( the mix of papers made each gift stand out! .. and wrapping the 'main gift' in patterned, made a great statement !)
AND as Im not able to make all these lovely things myself anymore, it was a GREAT project for kids !!!!! x
