An Awesome Gift and Inexpensive Gift!

I found a set of 6 clear ornaments on sale at Michael's the other day and figured I'd try to make something unique and cute. This is what I came up with:

They're super cute and really easy. Oh, and they only require a few inexpensive materials to make!
What you need:

- Clear, empty ornaments
- feathers (I used large inexpensive white ones and accented them with smaller more expensive teal feathers).
- a long stick (I used a wooden skewer)
- White ribbon
Directions:
Step 1: Open ornaments by removing top metal piece.

Step 2: Add first accent feather (teal feather). Bunch up white larger feather so that it is bent in several places. Push feather into ornament carefully as not to disturb accent feather. add another accent feather, clearing away a small place for it against the glass using stick or skewer. Add another white feather. Continue until there are evenly spaced accent feathers against glass and the inner white feathers are dense enough to keep accent feathers in place.


Step 3: Top with another accent feather and snap metal piece back into place.
Step 4: Cut Ribbon (I cut mine about 10-12 inches long and trimmed once bow was tied and I was happy with length). Tie knot in ribbon so that there is an equal length of ribbon on both sides. Make sure the knot is low enough to give room to hang ornament. Tie bow onto metal piece of ornament topper.

Step 5: Give it as a gift, hang it on your tree, or use it to decorate however you choose!
