Ornament Making

A while back my mom, Andrew, and me went to the Carolina Craftsman Christmas Classic (seriously long title). I saw some ornaments that I thought were super cute. My mom, being way more artistic than I, said you don't need to buy those (like $20/ornament for the baby ornaments and $13 for the light ones) we can make those. Starting that next weekend we became ornament making machines!!! So far I've made 5 first Christmas ornaments, 7 couples lights, 3 candy canes, a horse, and a tractor, and two others I will post later. My mom has made some trains, santa's, and starts. It's called a bread dough ornament and consists of flour, salt, and water, molding into whatever you like, baking on low heat for several hours, and painting and glazing. This has been very inexpensive, however, I've spent a good bit of time on these.

Christmas Lights...You turn me on!

I also did purple and orange lights for my Clemson family.
My nephew is obsessed with TRACTORS!

And something traditional...Candy Canes
