Handmade Hourglass Ornaments

November 30, 2011
Today, I'm over at CraftSnob sharing a quick handmade ornament tutorial made with supplies you likely already have on hand. I guess you could consider me a major scrooge since I don't really decorate for the holidays. Or any holiday. In the past couple of years (including this one) we've moved just before the holidays so I haven't really had much time to prep for them. Also, I hate buying Christmas decorations. We've always been really low on storage space (until now - we have nearly 1300 sq feet of storage space in our new place!), so if it doesn't fit in a tupperware box, I'm not going to buy/make it.

My mom was always a huge decorator for the holidays & I have such fond memories helping my mom decorate the Christmas tree. It's definitely something that I want to get into at some point, but perhaps not now. Definitely not until we're settled in a place for more than a year. So with that said, if I do get around to putting up decorations for the holidays, they're usually low impact decorations: they don't cost a whole lot & they don't take up a whole lot of space. The Hourglass Ornament tutorial over on CraftSnob falls under both of those categories. Click here to see the full tutorial at CraftSnob.
