My last ornament post! Phew! This one should really barely even count as an ornament post since it’s hardly a tutorial. But I figure that Martha has done demonstration after demonstration on how to glitter something, so maybe I should…
Acorn Ornaments and Moss Balls
I googled from one end of the internet to the other looking for inspiration for an acorn ornament, and I ran into the same problem every time. If you have an acorn cap, you can make loads of great stuff.…
