These are some of my most advanced and oldest Christmas / New Year ornament designs. Known in the family as my little “galaxies” or, simply, the “spacepods”. To heavy and awkward to go on the tree, they brighten up the dining room, catching even the dimmest light.
DIY handmade Christmas galaxy-shaped ornaments. Sequins, wax, plastic and glass beads, styrofoam shape, and sewing pins.
For ten years or so I have held up the tradition of making my own Christmas ornaments. These are styrofoam shapes adorned with sequins, beads and ribbons, attached with sewing pins.
They take a long time to make, so I maintain them with great care.
I make them in many shapes and sizes. These are some of my hearts.
Some are identical on each side. Some are not.
The pins make the ornaments surprisingly heavy. These hearts above cannot go on the Christmas tree, but make for great table decorations.
They look especially glorious when grouped together.
These, however, are light enough to go on the tree.
High time I replaced our old Christmas wreaths.
