Black & Brass: Glass Ornaments
Wow, so sorry this is so late in posting! I sort of went on an unexpected shopping trip with my Mom today to Atlanta and forgot to post a blog! But better late than never, right?
I have another church project to share with you today (tonight) and I hope you like it. I got the inspiration for it from all over the place and just combined all of the ideas into one. Here is a picture of it:
Using clear glass ornaments, I put some gold craft paint in them and swished it around a bit. Then, we hung them from the ceiling using twine. I used 24 ornaments for this group and once I hung it up, I actually wished I would have used more. Here it is from afar:
You can also see that I tacked up a couple of the paper banners that I talked about yesterday. And here are the glass ornaments up close:
If you want to try this project, after you put paint in the ornaments, be sure to place them in a cool dry place or it will take forever for them to dry. Ours weren’t actually dry yet when we hung them and I had nightmares of them falling and spraying gold paint everywhere :) But thankfully, that didn’t happen!
To save yourself the trouble, they would be equally as cool just to leave them plain clear glass. Or use a variety of ornaments, or just different colors. Try it for yourself and let me know how it goes!

Kelli! You are SOOOOO talented! I am so amazed by your craftiness—you are seriously so gifted! You should know that I have your blog site bookmarked and I check it every day along with young house love and other sites like that! I love these ornaments! I tried to make some sort of like this for our tree and they didn’t turn out quite as lovely as these but I’m definitely going to try a cluster like this next year : )
The pictures I’ve seen of your home are incredible! You truly get me SO excited to have a house one day (soon, hopefully). And that is so cool that you get to decorate your church too!
Ok, this comment is all over the map and I’m pretty sure it makes me sound like a total spaz and I’m too embarrassed to read over it and edit it, so I’ll just click submit…
Keep up the good work!
Hey girl, very cool. I was just at Stumptown coffee in Portland and they have similar hangings as light fixtures, the balls are hanging surrounding the light actually, I totally thought of you savvy design girl!
