Roundup: Designer Ornaments
It's no wonder that these three Mouthblown Glass Bell Ornaments ($30-45) are drop-dead gorgeous: they were designed this year for the MoMa by none other than world-renowned industrial designer Eva Zeisel — who turned 103 years old last week! I'm absolutely in love with them. I almost feel guilty for owning drugstore variety ornaments.
DIY: CB2 Ornament Wreath
The super stylists at CB2 DIY'd a stunning, colorful holiday wreath using ornaments from their holiday collection. The wreath can definitely be re-created with any standard ornaments, but I love the nontraditional colors and various shapes on this wreath. To make it, you'll need strong stiff wire to bend into a ring (like aluminum wire gauge 20 or a wire hanger), 30-90 ornaments depending on the size you want, strong tape or pliers, and ribbon.
Roundup: Silver Ornaments
I love to add a few new ornaments to my holiday tree each year, and this season I'm really loving the metallic sheen of silver baubles. One of my favorites is this set of silver swirl ornaments. They have a great, antiqued look, and would look gorgeous against the dark green needles of your evergreen.
Guess What This Wreath Is Made From?
I whipped up this wreath last night with some vintage pink and green ornaments, some spare ribbon, and something that you might distract yourself with in a bar. Can you tell me what I made the frame of this wreath from?
YumSugar Gift Guide: Wacky White Elephant
A White Elephant is a type of gift exchange in which each guest is asked to bring an anonymous wrapped gift. Usually, there is a maximum amount of money that can be spent, and oftentimes the gifts are unpractical and eccentric. If you are attending a White Elephant party bring fun shaped ice cube trays.
Yummy Link: Edible Christmas Ornaments
What is Christmas without Christmas decorations? These delicious edible ornaments are perfect for the Christmas tree and would be fun to make as well. — The Culinary Chase
DIY: Domino Snowflake Ornaments
Domino has a no-sweat tutorial for making whimsical, snowflake ornaments from paper, which has amped up my holiday spirit. These ornaments remind me a lot of the Modern Paper Ornaments that Grace from Design*Sponge posted. It amazes me how you can do so much with a few sheets of paper!
Don't Eat the Ornaments!
If your love for food spills beyond the kitchen table, you'll be thrilled by this roundup. I've gone out and hunted down some of the best — if not silliest — food-inspired Christmas ornaments. How droolworthy would a tree decked out in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups be?
Deck the Haus: Recycled Light Bulb Ornament
This 3R Living Recycled Light Bulb Ornament ($26) turns me on. But, but, but, I would never buy it. The beauty of this ornament is that everyone has the supplies to make it.
Deck the Haus: Paper Boat Press Holiday Doves
(Warning: Puns ahead. Proceed with caution.) Aren't these holiday ornaments so dove-ly? Paper Boat Press Holiday Doves ($17) are handmade ceramic ornaments, and each piece is hand-painted.
