Today, I created Ornament Garlands with the messages "Merry Christmas" and "Santa" added to it with stickers. It is really easy to do and by using thrift store finds, it was inexpensive as well. For the how-to see below.

Supply Cost: about $3/ each garland

Time: 30 minutes

Supplies

• Repurposed beaded garland or yarn
• Repurposed glass ornaments
• Letter stickers (enough letters to spell your message)

Note: I would recommend darker colored stickers or stickers that contrast with the ornaments so that the message is easier to read.

Steps

1. Gently clean and dry your ornaments with a soft cloth and water (tarnished ornaments are okay and give your garland a vintage look).
2. Decide what message you want to display (e.g., "Merry Christmas," "Happy Holidays," "Noel," etc.).
3. Add the stickers to the ornaments to create your message.
4. Add the ornments to your beaded garland or yarn. If using yarn, tie your ornaments in place. If using a beaded garland use light weight wire to secure your ornaments.
5. Hang your creation on a wall and enjoy.

Have fun creating!
