My Christmas Tree & Dollar Tree Ornaments

Hello everyone!!
Today I will be sharing how to dress up your Christmas ornaments in about 5 minutes or less! That's my kind of craft these days and you might be in the same boat...ha!  

I love to shop at the Dollar Tree all year around, but especially for Christmas!  I purchased some plain gold ornaments for our tree this year.  My tree is decorated in browns and golds.  I thought my ornaments needed a little bling bling and sparkles!!

These are the supplies you need-
glue gun
ornaments
rhinestones
ribbon


Simple and quick..... I added gold ribbon to this brown glittery ornament.


Love my leopard ribbon and added some rhinestones......


Another idea to add the rhinestones only.....


Mix and match.....your ornaments will look like you paid over $5 bucks each....lol

I love me some ric rac.... so fun!

Here are some pics of what my Christmas tree looks like, but before you think I spent hundreds of dollars decorating this tree, let me tell you that I purchased all these decorations at 90% off at Hobby Lobby in January of this year.  They marked their stuff 90% off around January 8th or so.  I literally go every day after January 3rd so I don't miss out on the sale.  This was my second year doing this. AMAZING deals!! It's like FREE...lol

    Adding to plain ornies is a great idea. I especially love the animal print! Your tree looks gorgeous. I have a brown/gold themed one that I have yet to photograph. How does time get away from us so fast?! LOL Glad you stopped by- I want to see earlier posts. :-) Sue
