Ornament Tree DIY
Welcome back. Today I want to show you how to make this adorable little ornament tree. I have seen these selling in stores for between $60 and $90 and I thought it didn’t look that difficult to make, so I figured why not give it a try. You can see my inspiration here. It only takes a few supplies to get started. I used a medium sized floral cone because of the size where I planned to display the completed tree, but you can use any size you like. Here’s one similar to what I used. If going smaller, I would recommend getting thinner garland and smaller ornaments.…

Transform Plain Glass Vases into Gorgeous Sea Glass

I started with simple glass bud vases which I purchased for $1.00 each at the Target dollar spot. While I purchased mine at Target, similar bud vases can be found here. Before I began, I cleaned each of the vases with rubbing alcohol to make sure I started with a clean surface. All you need to transform plain glass into lovely seaglass is food coloring and glue. I used Wilton Color Right icing colors. Their color chart can help you achieve any color desired, however any…
