    DIY Winter Wonderland Ornament

    December 11, 2014 By Brandy 4 Comments

    Winter Wonderland Ornament

    Ruby and I had fun creating a fun little Winter Wonderland Ornament together. We've had these little vintage looking wood ornaments for years and years. I thought they would be absolutely perfect to fit inside of a plastic ornament for a cute little wonderland scene!

    I bought these ornaments at Walmart probably 8 years ago, but you can find mini ornaments at many places.  You can use several things to look like snow: Epsom salt, rice, poly-fill stuffing beads, or fake snow. The last time I was at Dollar Tree they had little bags of fake snow. Those would be perfect and lightweight to use in this project, but I had some kosher salt on hand so that's what we used. Kosher salt is heavier, but we didn't make this to hang on a tree (we used a little display stand for ours).

    These plastic ornaments are $.97 at Walmart and are perfect for projects like this. You can fill them with candy too!

    Ruby chose this little snowman for our ornament. I cut out a small cardstock tree and hot glued him to it. Just to add a little more color and dimension.

    We filled the ornament half way with our snow then added the ornamet.

    We secured it with a small dab of hot glue, and then hot glued the ornament cap on (for added stability).

    She's dropped it twice, and aside from a bit of salt dust on the inside plastic, it's held up great.

    A fun little addition to our Christmas decor this year.

    Here is another fun Snowman ornament project that was the inspiration for ours!

      Oh my...What a wonderful idea! I will buy some of these and will start the design process with my daughter. I think that this could be used as a Christmas gift too because it is unique. Thanks a lot for sharing!
