Oh what fun it is to craft, with a little cork and lace–HEY! Ā (sung to the tune of “Dashing Through the Snow”)
I loved making my first ornaments for this holiday season with a couple of free corks that I picked up at my local Whole Foods store and beautiful laces and trims from MelsCraftBoutique. Ā A little galvanized steel wire from the hardware store, some hot glue, and some old baubles (if you want to add a dangle) with some standard jewelry making tools is all you need.
Inventory at Mel’s shop is updated all the time, but I’ve linkedĀ to all the products I used in these altered cork ornaments that she has in stockĀ as of 12/14/2014: Bridal Applique, Shimmery Leaves,Ā Flower Spray, and Mesh Leaves (mine started a slightly different shape, but these could be used the same way).
