I love creating large ornaments, especially when they're budget-friendly, enabling you to create several. This project perfectly embodies both affordability and simplicity while resulting in a beautiful outcome.
Supplies you'll need:
A round tray from Dollar General
White and brown acrylic paint
A small piece of wood (I used a small sanding block)
A generously sized, festive ornament
Raffia for a rustic touch
Greenery to add a natural element
Snow Tex
Glitter I love using Diamond Dust
Faux Tin Tile from Family Dollar
Spray Sealer
I started by using a dinner plate as a pattern to cut a circle out of the Faux Tin Tile. Trace and cut it out, ensuring a perfect size.
I used a sharpie to trace out my circle.
Glue this circle onto the tray and apply a generous coat of white paint.
Let is dry for the next step .
Next, I used brown paint for a dry brush effect on the tray, enhancing the appearance of the beautiful patterns.
I love this already !
Look how pretty it already looks!
For the ornament's top, I repurposed an old sanding block, painting it brown and adding copper glitter for a sparkly finish.
You can use a small piece of wood styrofoam or anything else that will give you that look you need.
I love using this copper glitter on brown it just sparkles!
Beautiful you could never tell it was a plain sanding block !
I glued it to the ornament's top and reinforce with a small screw for extra stability.
I decided my Faux Tin circle needed trim, so I used my silicone mold with hot glue to create the decorative accents I needed to accomplish that.
I love this silicone mold! I have used it many times.
Once made, I glued these trims around the Tin circle, painting them white and applying brown in the same manner as the tray.
I then created a hanger using a wire hanger, bending it accordingly and attaching it to the top of the ornament.
I then attached it to the top ! Since I used a sanding block I was able to squeeze the ends of the wire hanger on it . If you are using a wood block you will have to predrill the holes before putting the hanger on .
Before I attached my bow I did give the tray a coat of spray sealer .
I made a simple raffia bow with green and red raffia, attaching a festive Santa ornament.
I decided to secure the bow by making two small holes on the edge and tying it on then using a touch of hot glue.
Look how adorable!
I enhanced the ornament's beauty by gluing artificial greenery, adding Snow Tex, and sprinkling Diamond Dust for a magical touch.
That's it Congratulations now you know how to create one of these.
You can make several more at an incredibly low cost.
You've successfully crafted a beautiful ornament!
I love the simplicity and beauty of this project and hope you enjoy making these festive creations too!
You can see the trim I added to the circle it just finishes it off perfectly!
