Its a cool and drizzly day here in the Rockies and I can't think of a better way to pass the time than working in the studio. I have been working on some of my bottlecap tags, wooden spoon snowmen, and this new ornie:
I know the pics are a little dark, but Mr. Smokey (my cat) was snoozing in the area of the studio were I normally take my pics. When I get a few more done, I will get some better ones.
Anyway, I saw this idea on Pinterest so I thought I had better give it a try. I bought a bouquet of white flowers (maybe gardenias??), 5 to a bunch at the dollar store. That's $.20 for each ornie. I cut off the green plastic base but left about 3/4" on the stem. I had the round head that I use for my salt shaker angels already painted. These have a flat side with a hole in it. I simply stuck some hot glue in the hole and inserted the head. I had the little wings (I told you I am like my in house Michael's store)and glued them on the back of the head. I had a small screw hook which I screwed into the top of the head, added some hair, some pink organza ribbon......and drum roll please....Here you have it!
Okay, I wanted you to see this a bit better.....but don't worry, it was easier to move the ornie than the cat. As with any of the crafts I show you, make it your own. Change up the hair, the flower, add different trim. Any little girl would love to have this for her very own....
Inspiring quest there. What occurred after? Good luck!
