    My grandmother has since passed away. Upon cleaning her home I found a box of buttons and needles and pins and thread that she used to use when she sewed our clothes. I put those inside the clear ornament and gave it to all of her grandchildren so that we could hang it on our Christmas tree to remember her every year! 💕

      What a thoughtful gift and keepsake. Having that lovely visual reminder of her on your Christmas tree can instantly bring up sweet memories and put a smile on your face. Can you hear your children asking "Why are you smiling Mom?"
      I find that moments like these often present the perfect opportunity to share a bit about someone who is no longer with us with family members, especially children, helping them get to know and appreciate their ancestors. These quick unplanned moments helps them get to know the people who helped shape you and ultimately them as well. Hopefully, each time they notice the ornament filled with buttons they, too, may think of her again and maybe ask "tell me more about her Mom”. Your kind gesture will keep her alive in hearts and minds for a long time to come.
      HINT: If the kids are young glue on the top. They may want to hold the ornament as you talk about her. Curiosity may = buttons everywhere if you don't. Plus, holding the ornament will help the new memory you are creating last longer for them. If you have a picture of her, or several from over the years, now would be a great time to share them. Did you realize the heartfelt impact your kind gift could have? You did a great thing.

    I was a daycare teacher and one year I asked every child to share with me something important or significant that happened that year. At least 5 things (Mostly what grade they were in, teacher, fave subject) typed them and printed them onto paper that was patterned on one side and white on the other. Cut up their memories into straps had them roll them up to place in the ornament. Then gave them a permanent silver or gold marker to write their name then I wrote the year on the back and attached a little tag that explains the Memory Ornament. The kids then gifted them to their parents

      One of my favorite memories was when my daughter was in kindergarten, and each child in the class had to write down on a piece of paper their favorite thing to eat, and the ingredients! Some of the recipes were hysterical, and then the teacher made copies of each recipe, with the child's name on the bottom of the recipe! Then she put the whole book together for each child to give a copy to their Mom for Mother's day! And the spelling of the ingredients was adorable too!

    One thing thing I learned is that before you put any acrylic paint inside of any glass ornament, you should rinse them out real well with a mixture a white vinegar and water. Turn them upside down and let them dry overnight. This process helps the paint adhere to the inside of the glass MUCH better than not doing it at all.

    Katelyn, I saved all the leftover pieces of fabric, trim, etc from my daughter's wedding and I used them to make Christmas ornaments for their first Christmas together. Lots of fun because I made everything for her wedding, so I had lots of things to use. I even stuffed one with the iridescent wrap and pieces of her silver lace tablecloths I made. I was so happy with the way they turned out.

    I love all the awesome ways that you have done here! I actually had bought a cricut after I started watching you! I was just going to add in,back in 2018 a neighbor had asked me to announce her pregnancy in a super unique way! Knowing I am always looking to do something different I had gotten 6 Clear balls, I did 2 with baby socks wrapped up, added in the MINI pacifiers,Snow and tied a bow! 2 more w Snow, Baby A & Baby B! MINI Babies Wrapped bow, Last 2 Snow, Bow, and had a MINI sign using card stock, laying flat on back so it read BIGGER " WE ARE OTW GRANDMA & GRANDPA!", When she sent me the videos of the Grandparents reading them I CRIED, My kids, Hubby & ALL I showed it too! The couple had tried to have a baby for 6years & had decided that they were Financially Tired, Mentally & just was going to not try anymore....Oh wait did I forget to mention the husband had been injured a month b4 announcement & they soon were going to be living off his military $ and her PART TIME job as she was in school for nursing?!? As we see sometimes God might have other ideas as they had gotten pregnant with twins & they had a boy ^ a girl! Best gift I believe I have ever given anyone outside of my home! Now they do these same clear ornaments using updated pics of them to hold as a tradition! You never know what effect you make on ppls lives by just using ur mind & Heart!

    I put the graduation tassels that I had from me and my brothers and sister in clear glass balls a few years ago. I fed the cord through the hole on top to be the hanger, and attached the little charm for our grad year on the original wire hanger. My mother loved them!

    A couple years ago my 4 (adult) kids went to a 3d sculpting shop and had themselves 3D sculpted as Christmas elves, then put the little elves into the plastic round ornaments and decorated the top hanger area. Best ornament and best gift idea ever! They were so adorable and unique. The 3D sculpture captured their likeness pretty well. And really made the greatest ornaments on the tree. I was very surprised, and impressed they came up with such a unique idea!

      You could also use Foam board and the Domes that came out for Spring time, Fill it all the same and sit on table tops! Make sure that you use 2layers of foam @ min, You can use the Peel and stick rolls that look like wood as the base, If items are light enough you might be able to string some Twine,Mautical rope, Fishing string (Endless ideas on this) through the top 2 holes and hang up as well!

    😇💜 Really CUTE ideas.
    I have always made homemade Christmas ⛄ ornaments for at least 30+ years. One idea for the clear glass ornaments that I have made is, by mixing two or three different colors of paint 🎨 and pour the colors IN the glass ornaments, and swirl the paint 🎨 anyway you want.
    Then turn the ornament up side down so the paint 🎨 drains out.
    I would let it dry over night, and then I would tie a ribbon 🎀 at the top of the ornament.☃️🎀❄️🥶🤗💜

  • @cliffpeterson8772
    @cliffpeterson8772 Před rokem +1

    I do fluid art. You can put these upside down on a baking rack with a medium-sized canvas from DT under the baking rack. Pour the paint over it the bulb and let the paint flow down to the canvas. Remove the baking rack with the bulbs on them to another area to drip dry. You then tilt the canvas back and forth and you have a matching canvas. That way you don't waste the paint. I do it over DT vases. One recommendation is to not use quite as much of the pouring medium. If the paint has a pourable, but thicker consistency, it allows more of a marbling look. Or if you don't want a matching canvas, simply put a drop cloth type thing under the drying racks, and you can scrape the paint up and put it back in an empty bottle for a future craft.

    I do paint pouring on canvas and on clear ornaments. I put a silicone mat underneath to get the drips from the paint. When it’s dry on the mat, I peel it off (it’s called a skin) and use it to make jewelry or magnets. That way you never waste paint.

Paint the bottom with blue paint, hang down in the middle a star, sun or dolphin in the middle of the ornament & write the beach name on the ornament. Sometimes I use twine or rope to make ribbon!

    I have used old nail polish to do th pour technique, using 2 or three different colors. It's fun to do and it uses up some of the colors I have only used a few times. I have had teal, blue & green, red, green & white, etc.

    Congratulations on 400k!!!! Amazing work
    Edit: I am loving these ornaments!! I have a special needs son (24-hour medical care, WC bound, feeding tube, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, feeding tube, and more). His teacher comes to the house to work one on one with him, and she’s very artsy. She was wanting to make an ornament every week for Christmas in December. I’ll be sure to grab plenty of these items! Thanks so much

    Years ago my children and I did ornaments with the acrylic paint inside like you did with the snowmen. But we layered it like you did with the pouring paint, swirled, and let the excess drain. To me it was the best of both worlds: the marbled look without the mess or fear the paint will get scratched off the surface.
    Love your ideas!

    Take a favorite photo of family members (perhaps those who have passed) and copy it. Roll it up like you did the wrapping paper but unroll it and roll it back the opposite way. Insert it and once inside you can use a skewer stick to unroll it. Since you undid the first roll, the paper doesn't have as much memory and won't be so reluctant to UNROLL once inside. Drop red berries an ever-green sprig, your snowflakes etc. Perhaps a quote, sports logo, hobby icon, personalize it to fit the person either inside or attached and gift it to those who are missing someone this year.
    All of your ideas were SUPER CUTE Katelyn! Well done! PS. buy those ornaments in bulk on line NOW so you won't miss out. Deliver to store FOR FREE.

    These are all such great ideas to put a homemade christmas tree together for a newlywed or for someone just starting out on their own. Also great ornaments to make with your grandkids, except maybe the pore over method if they are little. Thanks for all the great ideas!

    This is super neat. I wish they would had stuff like this when I was a kid (43 now). I would have loved doing this stuff with my family. Each of us making an ornament and putting the year on it and then the next year, when it's time to trim the tree...we get the ornaments out and riminess....sigh. my mother would always buy us an ornament every year, put our names on it and the year it was bought. Hmmm, I wonder where my ornaments are right now?
    Anyways, these are super great ideas. I can't wait to do these. And not expensive, and something fun to do. by.myself...THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!!!! ;D

    I have used the clear baubles to gift for a new born baby. Take a photo of the new born, then get it developed into a passport sized picture. Stick two together ( to be seen from all angles) and insert into the bauble.
    Add a bow round the neck and add a decal or write baby's first Christmas!

    I had been collecting stuff to go inside snow globes for several years, and recently had the grandkids over for a craft day. They made at least 6 snowglobe scenes. They had a blast. We used several styles of the ornaments, but mostly the ones that are round and have screw-off lids.

  • @deborahparker3907

    Katelyn I just found your channel and am inpressed with your creativity. Now I have to see more so I will be watching older videos. Of course I've subscribed and texted a few friends to check out your channel. On several of the snowglobe style ornaments you added faux snow on your other ornament video. A tip I got from another Christmas video was to wipe the inside of the glass or plastic with a dryer sheet. This helps prevent the snow from clinging to the inside of the glass. It works! Now it looks like snow not a blizzard.
    I am really enjoying your crafts. Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.

    A few years ago i put paint and floetrol in paper cups, layered the paint colors, and did a paint pour over clear ornaments. Hit them with a heat gun for a few seconds to pop air bubbles and let them dry. They turned out great with all the colors and the cells formed by the floetrol. I then made little tags wirh each family members name, attached to the ornament, and used them as Christmas gift tags.

    Back in the late 90s, I had to file for bankruptcy. That year I took a clear ornament and painted on the outside "My credit card Christmas". I then filled the inside with small cut up pieces of my credit cards. I had plenty in many different colors. Since I gave them to family and close friends, I felt ok to leave my name full but I cut the numbers up and made sure that no one got a full card number. Everyone loved them!

    Love this video! I made some ornaments a couple of years ago using the clear round ornaments. I added a red cardinal bird cling then applied glue over except for bird. I then covered in epsom salts to give it a snow effect. They turned out beautiful. I'm going to buy some more of these and try some of your ideas. I am making yarn gnomes right now. They are also super cute and easy to make!
