Thanks for stopping by for the Rusty Pickle Blog Hop!!
The blog starts here...
Start there to see different projects posted from my fellow
Rusty Pickle Chefs, including some giveaways.
Here's my project.
I created an ornament for this special time of year.
It was fast and easy. Even my 7 year old son helped.
So this would be a great project for kids to make for someone special in their lives. Of course, that would be mom!!! haha!
I started with a styrofoam ball,
Cut paper strips as thin or as wide as you like,
ran them thru a paper crimper for added texture,
rolled them around a pencil,
stuck in the styrofoam with a straight pin,
added ribbon to hang it from and done.
Here's the finished product...

Love your ornament, what a great holiday craft to do with my kiddos!
The paper ornament is an awesome idea to do with kids... they are always wanting to play with supplies!!!!
thanks for taking time from this busy season to do a HOP...
thanks for the giveaway!
I love the great ornament. Cool project.
We always go to my parent's the 23rd, have Christmas Eve at their house where we eat Christmas dinner and open gifts. Then, we drive 1-1/2 hours to my father-in-laws house where we have an informal get-together with hubby's family, the kids pop firecrackers while the adults huddle by a bonfire (usually in the mud since it always seems to rain right before Christmas). The oldest (mine-a teenager) usually leads the way in firecracker antics. The we get up Christmas Day for more gifts and another Christmas dinner. We are STUFFED by that time! Great fun and a way to have Christmas with each of our families.
Merry Christmas~

reminds me of the paper chains we made as children, ah sweet memories. My favorite holidat tradition, decorating our outside with thousands of lights and holiday decor, we even made the newspaper!
This is GREAT! The Rusty Pickle papers go so well together!
Super cute ornament! My favorite tradition is by far....decorating the tree with my kids. I have 5 beautiful children, and they each have new ornaments from each year. They always want to know what each ornament represents, who it belongs to, why they got it...etc. It is a very long process, but so very worth every second just to see the smiles as I tell them the stories.
Cute ornament. I will have to try that next year when my son is old enough.
My favorite Christmas tradition from when I was young (and that I plan on passing on to my kids) is that the doorbell would ring on Christmas eve and when we opened the door, all that was there were pajamas. They had been left by Santa' elves to let us know that Santa was close by and if we weren't in bed by the time he got there he would pass our house. Clever parents, huh?
My favourite christmas tradition, is decorating the christmas three, and the family christmas dinner :)
Oh Kristi, that decoration is just stunning, i love it. Well done
My favorite tradition is having my whole family come visit me for the holidays! Oh wait...you are!
Love the ornament T!
what a great project! my fave tradition is finding the pickle on the tree...
That's FANTASTIC!!!! I can't wait to try that! Thanks! My favourite holiday tradition? We draw out Christmas morning. We get up and open our stockings... then get dressed for Church. Then we come home and I make us breakfast. Then we take a drink to the tree and open our presents. By the time we sit down to open our gifts, it's around 10:30 am. Fun. I did it this way as a child, and now we do it that way too
:)
I love the ornament...what a clever idea. As for favorite holiday tradition...we've had to change many of ours as the kids have gotten older and we can't all be together. The one thing we still do is roast chestnuts and sip eggnog while putting up the tree.
Looove this girl! I am so gona attempt to make this!
hugs
awesome kristi!
There are several favorite ones but this year I look forward to baking with my son and having a few weeks off of work. Great Job on the ornament.
