For the first gift of Christmas an idea came to me..........some holiday ornaments for your tree.

If you get the supplies for the easy version, they are a perfect craft for the kids to do as a teacher's gift.

Easy Version

More Difficult Version

Instructions: Easy

Supplies:

• Paper - Basic Grey "Jovial"
• Glass Craft Ornament (Available at craft stores)
  

Cut paper into strips 3/4" by 6" long

Roll up the paper strips

Insert all the rolls of paper into the top of the glass ornament, replace the top and attach a ribbon to the top for hanging.

Instructions: More Difficult

Supplies:

• Paper - Basic Grey "Jovial"
• Craft Glass ornament (available at craft stores)
• Etch All Etching Cream
• Vinyl
• Snowflake die, I used the new Quickutz snowflake set)
• I-Rock Tool
• I-Rock Bling

**Don't forget that the I-Rock tool and accessories are the Product Highlight this month so are 15% off until the end of November**

Next die cut a snowflake out of the vinyl and adhere to the glass ornament

Follow the instructions on the bottle of Etch All

Once the glass has been etched I adhered the bling to the glass ball to highlight the snowflake. Then follow the instructions above by rolling the paper and insert into ornament. Attach a ribbon to the top for hanging from the tree.

NOTE: You will notice that I first tried the etching on the shaped ornament, but I didn't know it was iridescent glass and the etching did not work on iridescent glass, so I had to use it for the easy ornament and the round ornament for the more difficult. Hope you like them and try a few for yourself!!
