#1 Tassel Ornaments
Ribbons with textured fringe can be used to jazz up antique ornaments that have seen better times.
Starting from the bottom and working your way up, apply hot glue to a glass ornament and attach ribbon (1/2" to 1" wide).
In order for the ribbon to overlap, keep gluing ribbon rings about 1/2" above the previous ring.
To make the tinsel fringe correct in shape, trim the end.
To avoid missing any surface space, paint your ornament in beforehand in the color of your ribbon.
#2 Handy Tobacco Basket Centerpiece
Traditional elements like a rustic tobacco basket, vibrant berries, and fresh greenery can be used, and a giant checked bow adds a splash of cheerful design. To secure the greenery in a tidy bunch, use florist wire; then, add pine cone decorations.
#3 Tree Ornaments Made of Marbling Nail Polish
You'll need mini screw eyes, ribbon, and wooden miniature trees for this project and different shades of green nail polish.
Pour two distinct nail paints into a cup of cold water.
Turn your wooden tree upside down on a cloth after dipping it in the mixture to stop it from dripping.
You can then let it dry upright.
