Dollar tree acrylic bowls make really pretty ornaments Just embellish any way you like!

this is the finished ornament

I had the gold glittered Pinecones Joy tag

I used the items I had in my stash but you can be flexible and use

whatever you have


I added these into the bow with the greenery

cut 10 inches of garland and then cut it in half

I used wired ribbon that I had to make a bow

I used a staple gun to hold the bow while I worked with it

I saved the tape as I worked so I didn't need to keep cutting more as I needed it

you will need tape

you will need scissors

you will need pliers

I used wire to make the hanger but twine would work

first - align the two bowls and tape them together after you glue an ornament at the bottom if you would like and insert a wire through the holes on the top for the hanger after this is done lightly glue around entire parameter of the bowls

next you will glue the bead garland on top of the seam


I used these beads garland but you can use what you like to wrap around the bowls aft you glue the two together

I used tape to hold the beds after I glued them

I used cutter pliers cutt the greenery since it had wire in it

this is the wire I used for the hanger

I then added a hanger I had

this how the holes looked before I put the wire in for the hanger

align the bowls and tape together

save your tape to reuse

here is the teardrop

use a soldering iron to make the holes

my soldering iron

You will need glue or a glue gun


finish off by tying on a bow with the greenery and anything else you decide

here is a different style using two serving dishes
