Mixed Media Collage Ornaments With Ali | Completed Project
I am so excited to share the end result of my collage ornament adventure!

I had the best time working on this over the last few months and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! I love that I can add more if I want or just let this be the magic that it is right now!
After collaging up more ornaments I went outside my house and cut a branch from one of our trees to use as the hanging rod. I love that makes it feel like it's rooted in this house and this season of my life. I used this
red ribbon to tie a knot in each end in order to hang it on the chalkboard.
I ended up making about 50 ornaments.
I used a variety of different twines and ribbons to hang each ornament from the branch. I liked mixing in some thicker ribbon with the thiner twine. With the thicker ribbon I used my Tiny Attacher stapler to staple the two ends after they go through the eyelet on the ornament and also stapled them together after looping the ends over the branch. When using the twine I tied knots.
Here are links to the ribbons I used:
Red + White Chevron Stripe Twill Red Satin Ribbon Bakers Twine set that includes green/white + red/white + red/green/white Cream with Two Red Stripes
Here's a quick video showing what it looks like hanging in my house:
I love the textures and the patterns and the different materials used to make this collection of mixed media ornaments. Seriously so fun.
