Hey guys!! Sorry for my brief break… I have been out of town with the fam for Thanksgiving. I have spent the last week or so getting the tree up and planning how I would dress it. This year I am in love with silver. I have it all over the tree… and I have found that I love balancing it with neutral tones and more rustic pieces. I decided to make some jute twine ornaments…
Now I will show you how I did it…
I started by getting my materials together. I used a small ply jute twine, hot glue gun, and an unfinished paper mache ornament. All of these can be found at craft stores. I found mine at Hobby Lobby but you can also find them at Michael’s and Joanns.
I started by gluing the twine to the top of the ornament.
Then, I wrapped it around and added dabs of hot glue as I went until I made it to the bottom of the ornament.
It was really easy as that! I wanted to add a bit of sparkle for contrast so I found these great ornament hangers at Target for super cheap. I just added one to it and I was finished…
Here’s a few on the tree although I find it so hard to take a good tree picture…
And a few more in a different shape with a larger ply twine…
Hope you guys like them!! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Don’t forget to get your projects ready for the Rust-Oleum Revamp party… It’s a week from today and you can get all the info by clicking the party button on our sidebar. Hope everyone had a safe Thanksgiving and prepare yourself for LOTS more Shanty Christmas fun:)!!
You all never cease to amaze me!
I love the idea of the beaded ornament hanger. How pretty!

This is fun! What possibilities! Thanks for sharing. I've posted a link at childmade.com.
Super cute! I love the natural texture of the thread used. I just made a couple of stockings that would look cute with these! hehe!
