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:)!!
