Frame those Pretty Ornaments

Tuesday, December 9, 2014

Its hard to believe that Christmas is jut right around the corner! I've teamed up with 15 other bloggers to share with you all 15 Last minute Holiday Ideas using items your already have or creating thrifty and fast Holiday projects. Welcome, if your popping over from Tuesday's line up: Decor Adventures, The Space Between and That's My Letter. I love this time of year the Christmas from glittery ornaments, Christmas lights all the baking, this is the time of year I'm in my kitchen the most. 



I've been wanting to add some pretty Christmas decor in our kitchen that tied into our Christmas tree in an sparkly way. A few months back, I brought I shadow box frame at Target, that I planned on using but never got around to it. I decided to transform the empty shadow box into ornament bulb holder. I wanted to keep this project thirty and fast, I used a mixture of matter, shiny and glitter ornament bulbs from the dollar tree! Remember when it comes to Holiday decorating shop everywhere. You can find amazing surprises and deals stepping outside 'your comfort zone.' 




I knew, I wanted my shadow box to also display a message so I was thrilled when I came across a Joy ornament. I simply removed the holder part of the ornament to transform it into a glittered sign pinning it in place. The back of the frame is lined with a linen type fabric, which gave the perfect backdrop for the letters to rest on. The ornament 'Joy' is also from the Dollar Tree! 


Next I filled up the inside of the frame with an array of pretty gold ornaments. I'm usually not a 'gold girl,' but totally embracing its use for the Holidays this year. 






I'm totally in love with the with how the array ornaments looks in the shadow box frame, just feels so pretty and subtle. You can easily create a shadow box ornament frame for Christmas too. Buy a shadow box from any local craft store and fill it up with mini ornaments and message using an ornament word. I also love the idea of filing the ornament box up with an array of snowflake ornaments!
