Holiday Ornaments

Using solder, glass, copper tape and whatever photo or gorgeous paper & embellishment (flat) you want to incorporate, create a beautiful ornament. Then choose beautiful ribbons to hang them on your tree or like I do, hang them around the house year round. My friend did these for me as a gift and I loved them and thought they would be a great project. More examples will be at the function.



Supplies to Bring: Small photo (2x2), or any totally flat item you want to incorporate. This can be a rub on, sticker, stamp or anything completely flat.
