Remember all of these?
For the past few weeks, 4 or 5 containers (about 20 in all) of these tiny ball ornaments have been finding their way into our cart each time we ventured into Target.
Want to see what we did with them?
Required Supplies:
Spray Paint (Optional)
Millions of Plastic Ornament Balls
Fishing Line
2 Candy Cane Ornaments
Step One
Divide out all the ornaments needing a fresh coat of paint.
Hang each of them and dust with a coat of spray paint (in this case, Valspar Baby Blue)
Allow to dry
Step Two
Pour all of your ornaments into the largest pile ever
Step Three
Begin feeding them onto your fishing line.
I found this to be much easier by holding 5 or 6 ornaments at the top and then pushing them down at one time.
This avoids any line tangling at the bottom.
Step Four
Once you've reached the end, tie on a candy cane ornament (repeat on each side)
I also applied a bit of super glue here
You are now complete!!
The staircase is not the final home for this amazing garland
That is to be revealed in a future post!
Very glamorous. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteThat is a LOT of ornaments and work, but it turned out gorgeous! I love how it looks!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've seen wreaths made like this but never garland! I really like it! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!

Wow! I love this! This is the first time I've seen this done! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love coming across something new. What a cool idea. It turned out beautiful and sparkly.
ReplyDeleteVery nice...I can't wait to see where they are going to go!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Did you hot glue the tops of the balls on first? Was there any "poppage"? This is a beautiful project, well done!
ReplyDeleteI didn't hot glue any of the tops down....there was 560 in total and honestly I didnt think about it until I was about half way finished. So far though, no poppage. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteWow! I "attempted" the ornament wreath & was so frustrated 1/2 way through that it is now sitting in my office waiting to be picked back up. I cannot imagine even attempting this one! But, yours looks FABULOUS!!! LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! We ended up with a ton of those tubes too, but this never occured to my warped little mind. BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic.. what a great effect, especially with the blue ones scattered through it. Did it take forever ??

This is gorgeous! I love the colors and the patience you took to create it.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! That looks like it took a ton of time and money! Beautiful! I am featuring this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com. Grab my "featured" button.
ReplyDeleteI made this last year with 90% off clearance ornaments. I was so excited to pull it out this year to put it up, only to find that it is SO hard to find a spot for it. I didn't end up decorating with it after all that work. It does look amazing though.
