{Christmas in July} #1 - Santa Belt Ornament

I love the holidays and can't wait to decorate our house this year.  Last Christmas, we had just moved in and after all the cleaning, fixing and painting of buying a foreclosure, I lost alot of steam.  Plus, we were still totally trying to get a feel for the space and how we would use this wonderful new home.  This year we will be much more settled and look forward to bringing the Holidays to life.

With the temps over 100 degrees in Arizona nearly every day from about June through September, a white Christmas sounds great about now!  Over the next couple of weeks I will share a few Holiday projects I am working on.

SANTA BELT ORNAMENT


Today is all about Santa and his jolly belly.  At the end of the season last year, I picked up a tube of glittery red balls for half price in the Target Dollar Spot!  I simply cut a 1/2" strip of felt, wrapped it around the center of the ball and added a small square frame made out of paper.  I added some silver glitter glue (found at the Target Dollar Spot yesterday) to the buckle for a little extra bling.

  1. I've been thinking about making this type of ornament. I'm glad to know that it is super easy. Thanks for sharing! {I hope I picked up some of those ornaments last year. I bought some but I can't remember if they are the glittery ones.}

  2. Oh my goodness, this is darling- the sparkle is perfect, and I love the presentation on the candlestick.

  9. A coke can tab top makes a great buckle, too. I have never glittered one but they already look metal.
