I really enjoy making ornaments and love to make all different types. They make great gifts!
The first one is another felt design. I used Lori Whitlock's bird studio file (Silhouette) and cut out the bird/heart shapes on cardstock. Then, I used the cardstock as a template to cut my felt. I stitched the bird together with red thread, added the SRM sentiment sticker (Fancy sticker sentiment- Love) on a piece of vellum and attached it to the hanger, tied with Twinery ribbon and a bell.
I used Helmar Premium Craft Glue to attach the heart wing to the bird.Next, I have a glass ornament. This was easy. I filled a glass ornament (you can find them at most craft stores) with silver paint and swirled it around. Actually, I swirled it around and shook it all over myself because I forgot to put the top on before doing that. Doh!
After cleaning up that mess....I got back to work. I printed out the beautiful nativity scene (by Lori Whitlock) using my Silhouette onto black vinyl. In order, to make it work for the circle glass ornament, I did have to trim the original a tiny bit (removed the two support bars on either side of the manger.)
I peeled the backing off and stuck it right on the ornament. I finished it off with a tiny crystal over the star and some red tulle.
Hope you are inspired to make some of your own. Apparently, I have to make one with a bunny on it because we recently got a dwarf rabbit :)Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for your ornament ideas. We had a flood in our basement last spring and lost all of our Christmas treasures plus my stamps for every holiday.So after 35 years of marriage ,we are starting anew finding/creating new memories for ourselves and the family!
Happy holidays to you and your family.
Fabulous ornament ideas! Love the felt bird. Something Chloe and I could do together since she's learning to sew at school. Thanks for sharing!
LOVE your beautiful ornaments!!! I would not have the patience to try these out though!
these ornaments are so cute! can't wait to try them.
Great ornaments Cammie. I especially love the nativity ornament. I can't believe how fast time is going. Hope your preparations are going well!
Not a bit tired of seeing them - keep 'em coming! Oh my, Cammie, I can't choose a favorite here! I do so love the nativity, but that little bird is just begging to be hung on our tree (if we ever get one put up!)!!! What a little darling that is! Thanks for the inspiration, you rock!!!
Cute ornament ideas!
both ornaments look wonderful. I had to chuckle about your paint accident. Sounds like something I would do.
Hugs and smiles
Gorgeous ornaments, but I am super partial to that bird. It's so tweet! :)
Not sick of ornaments at all!! Love the little bird and what a great gift it would make.
ACK! These are SO gorgeous!!
No apologies needed. You are so kind to share your ideas! Love the sweet bird. The silver ornament with the manger scene is stunning!
