This is my first year in blogging and the second swap already! First, I participated in the Pumpkin Swap organized by Laura from Vivere a piedi nudi / Living Barefoot and Anna from Tulimami - you can check out the beautifully unconventional pumpkin that Anna made for me here. And now it's time to show you the ornament I've made for Stephanie from Toastie Studio, participating in the Ornament Swap organized by Tutus and Tea Parties.
Stephanie told me that she had big plans for her little Christmas tree. She even showed me her Pinterest board on the subject: her theme was elegantly turquoise / peacock. I made my DIY Christmas ornament late one night so there are no how-to pictures. I just bought turquoise beads, put them on a wire and twisted the wire in the shape of a Christmas tree. The ornament was looking a little dull, so I added two pink beads for a chic update. Click here to see what lovely ornaments Stephanie made for me, in my colors!
Linking up to these lovely parties.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, it looks like turquoise is a big hit in any kind of project :)
DeleteGreat christmas ornament! Love your trees, especially the tree made of beads, in the dotted frame! :) Thank you for inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteLisa, the ornaments are very simple to make if you have the right beads and the right wire. I wanted to make a star instead of the tree, but the wire was too thick. But here is a great star of black beads from my friend Monstercircus:
