This is another SUPER easy ornament idea. If you've been around here for awhile you may remember me saying I'm a super sentimental person...and that I tend to save everything. I kept my daughter's little hat and the bracelet from when we had her in the hospital and could never decide what I wanted to do with them. I had them just sitting in a little shoe box for almost 2 years now. So instead of leaving it in a box forever I decided that displaying it on our tree every year would be really cute! Here's how I did it:
Step One: Take off the cap and start stuffing!
It really is just that easy. Take off the little silver cap on the top and start pushing the hat through the open area at the top of the bulb. I used the end of a paintbrush to push it all through. It can get kind of tough at some points but just keep working with it.
Step Two: Add the bracelet
Once you have the hat all the way in the bulb, you can start feeding the bracelet through. Cut it to the desired length or use the whole thing, up to you! You can use tweezers to position it better if you don't like how it is laying inside of the bulb.
Step Three: Replace cap and add ribbon for hanging
After you get the bracelet in the the bulb you can replace the silver cap and cut a small piece of ribbon for hanging it on the tree. Just knot it and you are all set!
AND THAT'S IT!! Super easy, right?! I loved the way it turned out, and it finally gives me a way to display just an adorable little keepsake.
I also did a few other super easy ornament tutorials if you want to check them out!!
Don't tell my hubby, but I've been painting some surprise ornaments for him for the tree. He is a HUGE Star Wars/Comic Book nerd so here is what I've painted so far.... What do you think??

I have a bunch more that I would like to do, but we will see what I have time to finish.
Hope you're having a great weekend!!
