Love all of these…I really like the drum!
Thank you! I’m so tired of seeing cheap dollar tree crafts that look so childish. I love your creativity. The cone would be cute as a mussy tussy from Victorian times.
Aren't the gingerbread men just adorable? The quilted fabric makes all the difference.
I noticed your glasses right away. They all look lovely on you. All of the ornaments are wonderful. You say you have lots of ideas for Christmas....well bring it on!! Your captive audience is waiting. Thank you for sharing with us.😊

Oh thank you! I’m working on some ideas right now. I just took a break to read comments!
I've always thought homemade anything is much more appealing than store bought items. It's more homey and sentimental. Such beautiful Christmas items. 😊❤🎄

I couldn’t agree more! Thank you!
Sherry, I always say that you can pick up stuff that others would throw away and make into something beautiful and you’ve done it again. If I glued some twigs together, that’s just what it would look like but not you you make a very cute little lantern out of them. Everything you just made looks very beautiful. Thanks for showing us all how to do these little decorations. They are so beautiful and you are so talented.

Hell yea, I love this woman, thank you for making an extremely depressing and difficult time feel like it can still be filled with fun and joy. The price of these ideas are so low that you'd think it would end up sad and trashy, but oh my goodness they are SO CUTE and honestly 100% would be sold at a cute little craft store for like 20 bucks, you just know it. Ugh, thank you!!
These beat any mass-produced ornaments you can find anywhere. I’m speechless at your talent!
The little girl on the spool was so charming!! I absolutely adored it!!
Very festive projects Sherry! You’re so talented and give us all inspiration to do our own designs!!
The little girl sleeping on the spool stole my heart.
Oh Lord willing, I want to let you blow my mind again. Sherri, these are so stinking adorable. Everything you do is just wonderful.
What great ideas! The matchbox Shiny Brite ornaments touched my heart, along with the little girl on the spool. Your creativity is such a gift to us each week! Thank you so much, Sherrie! 💗 💗 💗
These trash-to-treasure transformations were fabulous. Many of these would make great package decor as well.
Oh course I love each one ! My favs were the little girl on the spool and the twig lantern....so adorable ! Thanks Sherry ! 😺

Another wonderful video :) I love watching you put your masterpieces together. I like how you collect this and that, then make it all come together. My Christmas tree has birds, flowers,pine cones, sticks painted white and tied laid on the branches. I loved everything you made. Can't wait for Monday:) God Bless. Hugs my friend, Rebekah
Love all your great ideas. My favorite is the snowflake ornament. Very creative idea to use the clothes pin wire pieces to hold the scrabble tiles. Thanks Sherry for taking the time to share your ideas with us!

your stash is a trove of treasures!!!
OMG, SHERRY! YOU ARE SO GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO. SO CUTE.

Sherry, I love the bitty twig lantern, and who would have guessed that you’d put a bird in there. 😂 I like what you do with old greeting cards-so inexpensive but elegant. And didn’t I love the teeny Shiny Brite ornaments? Well, shoot! I think ALL the projects were clever and adorable.
This is exactly how people in the Victorian era made ornaments and decorations! They saved colorful images from advertising etc and embellished them, adding them to cotton, pine cones etc.
Sheri, these are truly beautiful ornaments, budget or not. Thanks for sharing your talents. Enjoyed watching you make these.

I don’t have curtain rings but I’m a canner so will use old canning rings. Such a inspiring idea!
Looking forward to the next video! As always, your creativity amazed me! I really liked the little drum! So cute. The stick lantern with the bird inside, made me think the bird had built it himself! The old Christmas card projects turned out great. Who knew a plastic spool could be reused to such advantage? Thanks, Sherry

Sherry - just when I think something looks great & you're finished - you add a bit more and it becomes FABULOUS!
You make such creative and unique things. I can’t help but wish I knew you in person, I bet your a very unique person. They are all beautiful
Love the tip of using clothespin springs to hold letter tiles,
Such beautiful and creative projects, as usual! You never disappoint, Sherry!
They all came out stunning. Hard to believe they were all pretty much free. Thank for another AMAZING video. ❤
Sherry, I have said it before and I will say it again, you are absolutely the most creative person ever! All your ornaments are precious ❤
Sherry!!! The quilted gingerbread men and acorn bells!!! bravo!!!
All very creative and frugal ideas!! So many unique and fun ones to try. Can’t wait for more!
Oh, my goodness! I kept thinking each one was my favorite. I really love them all. The gingerbread men are such great ideas for gifts.
Hi Sherry! I love these! They remind me of ornaments that I would make with my grandmother as a little girl. Those were such sweet and fun times!! I’ve made some little bird houses out of my old bath soap boxes for my tree! I enjoyed the video and now have some more ideas. Thanks! ❤️💜💚
I always enjoy your ideas especially when it comes to using items I already have. I already made some of the snowflakes both mini and regular size. Then I looked at them and said now what. I wanted more than just glitter. Being I save everything I still have the clips I took off. Now I can make a much nicer snowflake that is so much more. Thank you for all these great ideas. I love to make my own decorations more than store bought.
So far I love the stick frame ornament and the thread spool ornament. 👏🏼👏🏼
What you can do with next to nothing is a testament to your artistry! Well done :D
Went to a Barnes and Noble today. They had 3 different William Morris calendars for 2024. I decided to buy the wall calendar because there were only two left. I figured I should, just in case Sherry comes up with some great new ideas for us! 😹
I loved your Christmas 🥁

Thank you for these great ideas Sherry.

Thank you, Mary! I was thinking of doing something with the whole acorn, but I could only find caps in my yard. I guess the squirrels have been busy! 😜
Such good ideas. Haven't started Christmas crafts but your inspiration has got me wanting to do begin.
Wonderful ideas. The drum is so cute. Thank you.🥁
How adorable each Christmas ornament you made. Each one was creative. I loved them all but I was partial to that cute gingerbread doll. He looked so cute in your basket. Each week I look so forward to your video. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟
Love the drum. The quilted gingerbread men are really cute.

Dear Sherry, I love these handmade ornaments! They are so nostalgic and precious. Thank you for sharing.
All the crafts you made were really cute! I especially liked the clothespin snowflake and the scrabble 'SNOW'. You have so many great ideas! Thank you Sherry!
I would be hard pressed to pick just one of these cute decorations! Most can be made with stuff around the house. You are soooooo creative! Thanks for these great projects!
These were adorable and am VERY blessed to have two of them coming my way!! Will also try to do one or two myself!
Each one unique, but really liked the clothes pin snowflake and using every bit of the clothes pins!
Dearest Sherry.... you never stop amazing me with all your inspiration and lovely ideas, I am ready for Christmas thanks to this wonderful video!....thank you dear.

Wow, your brain is amazing! I just started crafting this past year and do not have the talent to look at an object and imagine it as something else. So for now, I just copy everyone else's ideas and put my own spin on it. Hopefully one day I will be able to just create on my own.
I love these ideas and I cannot believe you keep coming up with more, but I am so glad you do.💖🌲🎄✨
The gingerbread are my favorite but I like them all!
What adorable projects! You are so talented and have such beautiful ideas. Thank you.

Love the shower ring with the birds
Love the finished snow flake with the snow letters
I love hand made Christmas Ornaments. This year I am making “candy sticks” for my red, white, and wood ornament theme. Cut a reusable plastic straw to about the length of a dollar bill. I tore thin strips of red and white mattress ticking long enough to tuck in the end and glue with a drop of glue. Begun twisting the fabric tightly from the top down tucking in the end when the candy stripe is done. I made a small red twine hanger to glue to the back. On the top of the stick I glued pine sprigs and a white plastic snow flake. I used a little Decoupage on the twisted fabric to bind the twists. Tea or coffee dyed red and white pipe cleaners twisted into candy canes are inexpensive and look rustic and woodsy.

I bet your candy sticks are adorable! I also love your idea of using red, white, and wood for your tree. I haven’t decided on a tree theme this year. It may be “dog treats” because my new puppy gets into everything! 😜
These ornaments were so charming and so clever Sherry. My favorites were the mini Shiny Brite boxes. They were adorable! I look forward to seeing what you'll create with little odds and ends. So clever.
