This is the first year I had a real life-size christmas tree in my house! yay for being an adult and not living in a small apartment or dorm room!
That said, my roommate and I realized we didn’t own any christmas ornaments. I, of course, have access to lots of cool fabric, so I looked around for good ornament ideas to make at home. One of my coworkers introduced me to this ornament idea: http://knittygrittythoughts.typepad.com/knitty_gritty_thoughts/2009/11/my-entry.html
They are super easy to make, require no sewing and no experience! The first photo is of one made with an egg shaped styrofoam ball, and the second with the simple spherical ball the instructions suggest. And they turn out looking AMAZING! (they’d look better if I stopped being lazy and taking pictures with my phone camera…)
