Homemade Christmas Ornaments – 2023

After getting married in October, of course we were going to center our ornament around that this year. We took some leftover pieces that didn’t get used for the kitchen backsplash, glued two together, cut it to size, rounded the corners, softened the edges, and added a couple of screw eyes.

We bought two different colors (hard to tell in this photo) of twine and tied a square knot. Obvious symbolism.

After having a Cricut for almost two years, we finally cut vinyl on it.

A little super glue gel to attach the knot.

Then we sprayed three coats of lacquer to help set it and hopefully hold on to the vinyl better.

We also have some bonus ornaments this year. I drilled a hole through one of the golf balls Brandi had made for some twine. The other two were Huichol art we did on our honeymoon in Playa Mujeres. Can you guess who did which one?

Making ornaments is a yearly tradition for us. Check out 2021 and 2022.
