Mondays always seem a little busier than usual and today was no exception. As such, today has felt like an extremely long day and I'm feeling particularly tired and not very talkative so please forgive my lack of words...
Over the weekend I gave you a sneak peak of these ornaments on my FB page....
I cut what seemed hundreds of little leaf shaped pieces out of music sheets and glued them onto an old ornament...
Here is a brief look on how I made this mini wreath ornament....
I used similar process on this old broken ornament
You can see a picture of how this ornament looked before here . I started at the top and worked my way down...This one reminds me of an artichoke.
For this one, I started at the bottom and worked my way up....
Please let me know if you need a tutorial and I will gladly do one for you....
I have decided to do a little series on homemade ornaments as I have had a sudden influx of ideas and can't wait to share them with you. I hope you will join me because your company makes me smile.
Again, please forgive my lack of words, I will now go and get some rest and recharge ! xo
sending you much love,
Lucy

Oh my Monday's are the same! I am lucky to be out of my pj's by 4 pm. True story. But I am giddy with excitement for a mini series from you! Already...these are just GORGEOUS. And I so owe you an email. I have been so busy but not too busy to respond to you...you warm my heart sweet Lucy!
ReplyDeleteMy Monday's drain the life out of me!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful idea - thank you for sharing! I will be trying these soon...
Thanks, those are beautiful! I'm just about to decide what ornament to make this year (and I'll make lot's) so I'm definitely going to stay tuned to your series!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the mini-wreath! Might have to do one of those.
ReplyDeleteWell, how cute are those! I love that wreath! The bulbs are cute too...but the wreath is my favorite. Wouldn't this make a cute gift for my granddaughters to give to their music teachers? xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I've been wanting to make a wreath like yours, but don't want to cut out so many pieces of paper. I keep thinking I should look for a paper punch that would work.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLucy, I love love those. My fav is the wreath! Great job!
ReplyDeletelove these! and I love home made ornaments too, can't wait to see what else you're trying. I'm going through a trial and error process on one at the moment....with any luck I'll get it right before Christmas :) -diane
ReplyDeletePrekrasni su ti ovi ukrasi od papira..
ReplyDeletesuper ideja..
I love the dimensional quality of the ornament. I just saw a similar example but the music paper was stuck on the ornament just going around and around. Leave it to you, my dear, to step it up a notch and layer leaves onto it. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLucy, they looks so sweet- I love the wreath-
ReplyDeletethanks for showing.
