Christmas Ornaments From Old Kitchen Hardware

by Sue's Creative Workshop

Being that I can't resist a good bargain. I picked up a bag of old kitchen hardware for 50 cents at a Garage Sale. After using the handles on various projects, I was left with a lot of extra brass plates. I decided to use them to make Christmas Ornaments.

For my Ornament:

1. Paint the base plate from old kitchen hardware with cream spray paint.

2. I added silver around the edge using my finger tip and paint from a silver paint pen.

3. Remove the small wooden base from a small bottle brush tree. With small pliers bend the remaining wire tip up into the tree.

4. Cut the back of the bottle brush tree to make it flat. Glue in place with Zip Dry glue.

5. For a little extra sparkle, I rubbed clear glitter glue into the bristles of the tree. Glue pearl beads and place directly into tree.

6. On the top of the ornament I used a piece cream twill ribbon with an inexpensive plastic star ornament on a silver jump ring. Tied it in place with a piece of burlap twine and small cream button.

7. I added a silver jingle bell that I painted and distressed with sandpaper and tied on with a satin ribbon.

8. Place the word sticker onto a thin piece of chipboard, trim around sticker, lightly sand the edges for a distressed look and glue into place.

A simpler look with just a berry sprig and a gingham ribbon.

A slightly different version than the first.
