We've upcycled some ornaments for the occasion. I'm sure you have heard the term upcycling before. In case you haven't, upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value - so says Wikipedia.
Well Donna and I have upcycled some items we had around the house into holiday ornaments for the tree.
Here you have the burned out light bulb. We added a hat and beard ... painted him up a bit ... and you have a Santa ornament.
This picture shows a terra cotta pot turned upside down - we painted it to look like Santa and added a bell inside. The other Santa ornament is made from a spoon that we bought at a thrift store. The hat is made using scrap yarn left over from another holiday project.
We will have all these ornaments with us tomorrow at the Penn Hills Linton Middle School Craft Show - 250 Aster Street, Penn Hills, PA 15235. The show runs from 8a - 4p. We will be on Candy Cane Lane.
Happy Holiday Shopping !
