Perforated paper (plastic) Christmas Ornaments?
I've used the perforated paper to make a a key chain for myself. Since it
worked out so well, I'm planning on making Christmas ornaments using it.
Has anyone else used it? Also, am I the only one making items for
Christmas? If not, what are you making? |

-I've recently started working on the Advent Calendar from the 1990 issue
of Keepsake Calendar. It has a wreath that you hang little ornaments on
each day and numbered pockets to hold the ornaments before they are put
on the wreath. Instead of using small wooden ornaments like what they
suggest though, I have been trying to come up with enough old Mill Hill
Ornament Kits from previous years to make all 24 ornaments for the
wreath. So far by bidding on ebay I've located 17 ornaments. I'm using
perforated plastic instead of the paper so they will be a little
stronger. -I've actually started on things for 'The December Holiday
Season' :) (I am making things for various religions - for various
people.) I'm currently working on the Mouse with the silver leaf
behind it and the perforated Christmas tree from the '98 JCS Christmas
Ornament book. I have various ideas for others including the new
MLI angel dragons and unicorns. A few bead jewelry designs are lurking
between the ears so they might come out before the holidays start too! -I'm making a needlepoint gingerbread man Christmas tree ornament -- also,
coincidentally, on perforated plastic. It's just a little kit from Wal-Mart,
and after years of cross stitch it's my first needlepoint. It's my project
for the subway: I have a 35 min. ride twice a day up and down Broad Street,
Philadelphia, and it gives me a pleasant way to spend the time. (Usually, I
read, but the bookbag was getting a little heavy -- the needlepoint's lighter.) So many people, of all races, genders, and ages, have struck up conversations
with me because they're curious about my needlework. Most people usually ride
in silence if they're not traveling with a companion, so it's interesting to
see needlework breaking down this urban resolve not to reach out to others. |
