Christmas ornament favors?
Hi ladies!
My date is 12-22-12. We're doing kind of an old fashioned holiday theme. Lots of berries and pinecones, that kinda stuff. I need ideas for favors! We're kinda thinking of ornaments. Clear ones that I can maybe fill or write on. I want to incorporate our names and date so guests remember where it came from!!
If anyone has any ideas of ways to decorate these things that would be fabulous! I'm pretty crafty, but I don't have the best handwriting to sit and write on every ornament! Also if anyone knows where I can get the clear ornaments for a good price, that would be great too!
Thanks!

I plan on doing ornaments as well. I plan to glue sparkles inside them,by swishing spray glue inside,then dumping in sparkles and shaking it. I don't have nice writing either, but i saw a tutorial on etsy to put words on glass the same way as kids tattoos work. Apparently you can buy printer sheets from Michaels to do that. I also plan to get the ornaments at Michael's once their christmas stuff is out.

</div><div>Hi! My date is the 18th, so we're not too far apart! I have also decided to do ornaments as favors. I've decided to use christmas photo frame ornaments with a festive picture of us inside, then we are adding ribbon that has our names and the date. They have beautiful framed ornaments at Hobby Lobby. Just a thought! :) Have a great day!</div>
[QUOTE]Thats my date too! :) I'm planning on making salt dough ornaments in the shape of hearts, quick and simple.

Thank you so much for your idea of salt dough ornaments...I will be making these for my wedding now. Been wanting to do ornaments and everything is so expensive! Even buying the clear ones and doing it yourself is expensive. This is just such an awesome idea!
I'm doing a Christmas theme wedding but with champagne, burgundy, and ivory colors. Hope that helps you!!
