Try Scrapbooking Supplies to Make
Elegant and Personalized Christmas Ornaments in Less Than 10 Minutes
Have
you ever looked through those boxes of Christmas ornaments of yours either before or after Christmas, and wondered how you
might be able to add some sparkle to them, yet still keep it traditional? 
Taking a few of your plain ornaments every new Holiday season and adorning them with scrapbooking items to make personalized
Christmas ornaments will add some new life to your selection in a custom way, and leave your guests thinking
that you spent a fortune on your ornaments.
For this project we decided to just use a large
plastic satin finished ornament. As was previously mentioned, you can also look through your existing collection and
find some of your plain solid color ornaments to use. Apply peel and stick crystal stickers typically used for scrapbooking
to the ornament. Stickers can be applied to cover the entire ornament, or you may want to apply them vertically, horizontally,
or diagonally to create a pattern. Next, tie a satin ribbon , ¾ inch or smaller works best, to the top of the ornament
creating a bow. Try using a plaid ribbon with colors that compliment the color of your ornaments. Simple!
