A Quilled Poinsettia Ornament

I decided on a whim to buy a styrofoam form while checking out our new Hobby Lobby store that just opened. I had wanted to make a quilled ornament ball for a while, but didn’t want to make just a regular ball. Here was the perfect solution!

I started out by making my poinsettia first and pinning it onto the foam shape. Then I started with the gold edging around the side.

Once I had the edging and poinsettia in place, I could fill in with the white beehive technique.

Once I finished the first side, then I started the opposite side.

It took somewhere between 5-6 hrs to complete, but I must say well worth the time and experimentation to make!

Hope you enjoy!

Another Ornament for Christmas

I found some more ornaments in my closet of craft stuff while cleaning this summer. Obviously my cleaning didn't get very far being so delighted with my new discovery! I found a cute clip art a while back of some holly leaves, so I thought about how I could do it inside the ornament. After a few minutes, I was ready to start. After gluing two leaves together, I gently pushed them inside. I then used a plastic butter knife to keep them lying flat and let them dry. I then added the third leaf.
