Question

My sisters Broke Alot of the Christmas oniments...Have any ideas to make craft ones?Lie using stuff you could find in a regular house?

Answer 1

flour , water, salt, and pepper, cut to shape and bake.
gingerbread cookies cut to shape make good ones also, or you can find inexpensive ornaments a the thrift stores.

Answer 2

initiate with the help of making a modern that is green for green living. Get the ball rolling and carry out a little good and supply a modern on an identical time. try this? Make cleansing soap from cleansing soap scraps. circulate to a inn or inn and ask for some. they generally have countless little products. Wrap it in a face-textile or towel. merely use a sprint water to soften and charm, enable it dry interior the darkest place and don't ignore the fragrance.

Answer 3

One year I made homemade ice cream cone ornaments.Everyone loved them.
First you need ice cream cones any kind.Spray these liberally inside and out with shellac.Let dry 24 hours.Use any kind of Christmas balls and glue into cone with hot glue gun.You can get them at dollar stores along with the glue sticks and ornaments.After they dry hang ornaments on a rod with newspaper under it and drizzle acrylic paints in different colors over the "ice cream".You can then add candy sprinkles if you like.After drying for 2 days you can give them an overall spray with the lacquer,setting everything for good.

Answer 4

You have to go to Martha Stewart's website. She has tons of great ideas for stuff like that. If you happen to have glitter, glue and some pine cones or even nuts in the shell (like almonds or walnuts), you're set.

Also, you can make sugar cookies in different holiday shapes and use them as ornaments.

Answer 5

You can makes chains of wrapping paper, go outside and get acorns, nuts and pine cones, glue them to ribbons and hang them. You can make ornaments out of cinnamon sticks. You can take beanie babies and decorate with ribbon and use them for ornaments. Pieces of colorful candy glued to ribbon make cute ornaments. Take old Cd's and use markers to make each family member an engraved ornament, tie a ribbon through the middle. Make holiday shaped cookies and use them to decorate the house. Take apart an old pillow and use the stuffing for fake snow. Teddy bears decorated with ribbons bake a nice display. Best of luck to you! Happy Holidays!!

Answer 6

um yeah, u could take a pipe cleaner and some red and green beads and make a circle so it'll look kiek a mini wreath and put some srting on it to hang or make a cookie ornament or get little picturs of the family and laminate them and then hang them, hope it helps!

Answer 7

string popcorn for garland.. and if you have scrap fabric (or even old clothes), you can cut out 6" circles, taking a needle and thread, stitch around the edges and then pull the string to gather the fabric and tie a knot so it wouldn't unravel... this creates a "yo-yo" if you leave them flat or you can fill with cotton balls - until they resemble an ornament - tie a decorative ribbon around the top and hang... they are sooo totally unbreakable!! and it makes your tree very colorful.

Answer 8

Inexpensive. Pipe cleaners and beads (red, green, white). With the white beads, you can make icicles. With the red and green, you can make wreaths. Different color beads, squared pipe cleaners, you can make gift boxes.

Answer 9

What's an oniment?

Answer 10

These recipes are fun and easy for Christmas decor, or any holiday.

Use the dough and shape into Candy Canes, Stars, Santa's, Presents with Bows, Reindeer, etc. whatever strikes your fancy : ) You can cut it into strips and looosely weave a basket, or wind a "braided" or "twisted" candy cane or etc. Or
you can use cookie cutters. Then decorate as desired. *See recipe for frosting below.

FAKE GINGERBREAD HOUSE:
If you want a permanent Ginger Bread House you can make it with the decorative play dough and use the frosting recipe below to decorate it, along with lots of color, sprinkles, colored frosting, and candy, of course. Use the Patterns for the Gingerbread House and follow the instructions under "Gingerbread House", just
substitute the Play Dough for the Gingerbread. (You will of course need to make 4 times as much of the recipe for the play dough!)

DECORATIVE PLAY DOUGH MIX:
1 C Flour
1 C Salt
1/2 C Water
Extra water if needed
Mix flour and salt together and add about 1/4 Cup water and mix with your hands, adding additional water until the consistency is just like you want it. Divide DOUGH into 2 portions and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer until firm. After it's
firm roll onto cookie sheets 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick. Bake in oven at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. You can tint the dough with food coloring for fun, and glue on sprinkles, etc. It can also be painted with tempera or acrylic paint after cool and dry. Elmers glue or craft acrylic gloss can be brushed on the finished product after cooling and left to dry for a shiny finish.
(Won't turn soft and spoil later like egg whites.)

OPAQUE WHITE FROSTING:

For a white frosting glue for decoration:
1 -1 pound package powdered sugar
3 egg whites
1 tsp cream of tartar
*(Food Coloring - optional)

Beat fast (or on high with electric mixer for 3-7 minutes), until smooth and it leaves a hard path when you try to cut it with a knife. Dries medium in 7-10 minutes, absolutely hard as a rock in about 10 hours. (This is also edible, and it's great for gluing together ginger bread houses and frosting Christmas cookies too. Works like glue to hold on decorations.) Will dry as hard as cement and will NEVER spoil. Divide into smaller portions and mix in food coloring for extra decorating colors.(However, it will become too hard to eat in about 2 months, so remember this if you use it on real edible gingerbread.)

GINGERBREAD HOUSE:

*(Takes about 2 days start to finish,
allowing drying time for the frosting
that "glues" the parts together.)

1 C Vegatable Shortening
1 C Packed Brown Sugar
1 C Molasses
2 Eggs
2 and 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
2 tsp. Ginger
1 tsp. Allspice
1/2 tsp. Cloves
1/4 tsp. Salt
6 Cups Flour
2 TBSP Baking Powder

Beat together Shortening, Brown Sugar, Molasses and Eggs. Beat in Cinnamon,
Ginger, Allspice, Cloves, and Salt. Add Flour and Baking Powder. Dough should be thick and sticky. Divide into 2 portions and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer until firm. After it's firm roll onto cookie sheets 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick.

Bake at 300 degrees for 55 - 65 minutes. Let cool before assembly and decorating.

PATTERNS FOR GINGERBREAD HOUSE:
Use cardboard or stiff paper to make 2 cutout rectangles 8" X 5". Make 2 rectangles 7" X 5". Then make 6" X 5" square with a 4" equilateral triangle on top to make the front and back of the house. (These will be a six sided "house"
shape.). Cut a little doorway out of one or both of them, depending on how many doors you want.

Assemble the gingerbread house on a solid mobile surface that you will not need to re-use immediately. It will be the base of the Gingerbread House. Use the opaque white frosting, (recipe below), as glue to hold the walls up, smaller rectangles for sides and squares for ends. Use tooth picks in the dough to make little legs to hold up the walls while you wait 10 hours, (overnight is good), for the glue to dry. They will lean against each other too, that will help hold it up till it's dry. After the walls are dry, use toothpicks again to secure the roof pieces, (the larger rectangles). They will lean against each other along the top. The edges will hang over like
"eaves" on a house. Again, use the opaque white frosting to glue the pieces together. Fill the groove along the top with the frosting too. Dry at least 10 hours again. You can use any left over dough to make gingerbread cookies you can
decorate too : )

Now you're ready for the fun part... Decorating. Use your imagination and these recipes and go wild!

Oooo, this looks like so much fun I can hardly wait!
