I will get the tripod out and take some pics of the new ornaments later. I do have to post about my old wreath reinvented. I bought a Restoration Hardware Icy Winter wreath on clearance a few years ago. It was looking a little ragged. I also had snowflake ornaments that I made a few years ago at a Super Saturday and made a ton of them. (disclaimer: They are totally addicting and fun to make.) Then I had some glass ornaments sitting in a container...I starting wondering if I should just add some stuff to my ragged wreath. I am so please with the way it turned out and I didn't have to spend any money. Wahoo! Justin will like it just for that.

How do you make the snowflakes? They look super cute!
Melissa-the snowflakes are a variation of Martha Stewarts I believe. We used all sorts of different plastic clear beads, the wire is florist wire (I think it is 20 gauge and comes in straight sticks, I know I bought it at Michael's). With pliers make an eye at one end of the wire then slip the beads on leaving a little space in the middle make another eye at the end of the wire with beads on it, repeat two more times then crisscross the three place a dot of hot glue to hold in place. I haven't done the Marth Stewart snowflakes but they are really pretty and use glass beads, a little more expensive and hard to find but would last longer. Some of my plastic has clouded from being in the sun.

Peen- thanks I just made them. We needed to have some privacy when we were sitting on the couch :)
So talented, that is all I have to say. I love it.
Beautiful! Can't wait to see everything else... hint, hint. ;)
Do you remember how much those snowflakes frustrated you at Super Saturday??? Look at you NOW!!! Simply gorgeous!
Tonya- oh my goodness I totally forgot! I was seriously cursing them! LOL! I was completely frustrated and couldn't believe I couldn't figure it out. It took a couple of days after we had the craft day and buying a whole bunch of stuff and then the light bulb went off. You would think how upset I was that day that I would not have forgotten but I did. Maybe that is why I can't remember embarassing moments, I just block things out :).
