Homemade Disney Ornament Swap *pics*
Dear Diary,
A couple of weeks ago I decided to join a homemade Disney ornament swap and decided to try to use old park maps in some way….
This is what I came up with…
I cut the park maps up into little sections and then Modge Podged them onto glass Christmas balls…
While the Modge Podge was still wet I added in a sprinkling of glitter for that pixie dust effect…
The little bottles and Tinkerbell charms were found on Etsy. I added the glitter to the bottles. I had the bitty tags on hand. Same with the red, Swiss dot ribbon….
My other idea for a homemade ornament was inspired by the movie UP! I was less confident in this idea though. I ended up just making two. I kept one for our tree and then shipped the second to the lady who was hosting the swap as a hostess gift….
I used acrylic paint that I had on hand but it dried dull and I wasn’t sure how well it would hold up so I ended up putting clear coat over all of the painted image. Hopefully it holds up well. The shine helped it look a bit better, too. I tucked tissue paper inside for the light blue background. Balloons!
It was a small swap group. Only six participated. I used the box the plain ornaments came in to ship the decorated ornaments to the lady who was hosting the swap.
These were fun projects! I hope the ladies I’m swapping with like them!
Very cute!

I’m always amazed by the things you create. I’ve done many crafts over the years, but my things don’t look professional as yours do.

ryn: yeah, anytime I want waffles or miss Disney, I can do the waffles. Plus I can make various types other than the malt waffles like Disney makes. And it was cheap at CVS. I paid about 20. —- Like the cute ornaments.
