Ornaments are my favorite thing to make at the holidays and these Poly-Pellet® Christmas Ornaments were so much fun! I usually don’t get to make ornaments for my own tree, as I am always making them to sell and they are usually made from all wood. But I love how these Poly-Pellet® ornaments turned out and they will definitely be hanging on my tree.
Materials:
- Wood ornament cutouts (I cut mine out on my Glowforge, but you can buy them at a local craft store)
- Plain and Dyed Poly-Pellets (You can see the YouTube video below to see how I dyed mine.)
- Ribbon and string
- Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
- Paint Pens
How I dyed my Poly-Pellets:
How I made my ornaments:
For my snowman ornament, I used plain Poly-Pellets®. I glued the Poly-Pellets® to my wooden snow man. I left the arms so that I could paint them brown. TIP: I glued in sections so that the glue didn’t dry too quickly.
Once the first layer was dry, I glued on another layers.
Once the glue was dry, I used a paint pen to paint the arms of my snowman.
I did the same thing with my Christmas tree ornament. I used the brown paint pen to color the stem of the tree.
I wanted my ornaments to be thicker, so layering gave it the thickness I was looking for.
I used small bits of the dyed Poly-Pellets to add details to my ornaments. The snowman got buttons, eyes and a nose. I added a ribbon for the scarf. The tree got lights or small ornaments.
I love how these turned out. You can get Poly-Pellets online at www.fairfieldworld.com.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
