NWR: DIY -- Memory Ornament

loramarie03

I saw this idea on Pinterest, where you write your favorite memories from the year on a glass ornament. I also found another idea where you make your own glitter ornament (basically you swirl around floor wax until its coated and then shake in some glitter -- so easy). Here's how it turned out!

That is sooo cute. What a great idea, I may have to copy ; )

I love it. I may have to pay a friend to write it out though- my handwriting sucks!

This one is very neat!

The glitter with floor wax is AMAZING.  I did these this year, and it was the best idea EVER, it was fun making them and basically mess free!

That is such a cute idea! I have  seen the glitter ones, but hadn't seen these!

Very cool idea! Might have to try that, but my hand writing stinks lol!

Yeah my handwriting isn't very good either and its hard to write on a ball -- haha -- although I guess that's part of the charm, right!?

The fact its your handwriting just makes it that much more personal

Kimmy, I had seen those on pinterest and had been debating doing those next year for close family members. Also a friend of mine did something simliar with their vows - just for the couple they took their vows and place those on the tree each year as well

Lora - Great job!  I think that looks very nice...

Kimmy - I love that idea!  I've saved it so that I can remember to do it next year!  I amy even bring some sand from DR and fill an ornament with some sand and a wedding pic or something.

That's such a cute idea Jen, I've seen some of the sand ornaments on pinterest they always look so good!

I love all of these ideas.  I was just thinking if the floor wax would work with sand instead of glitter.

Lora - What kind of marker did you use to write on the ball?

Oh.. I love all these ideas!!
