I really enjoyed watching you create these beautiful ornaments Donna!😍 I was just strolling through and looking for inspiration and your video popped up!😘 I wasn't looking for ornaments but I started watching and was enthralled by your technique!😚 So I ended up watching the whole video and have now subscribed!😋 I'm working on totally different Christmas crafts but you've inspired me with your attention to detail! I've picked up the package of the tiny gingerbread men for two years in a row! I haven't done a project where I use a lot of them, although I was thinking about a little wreath. But I loved the way you used them in the ornaments with other small objects! I've gone wild grabbing different sizes of the trees from DT! I'm planning to make a Christmas tree lot with a stand using the little wooden crate. I'm also using the beautiful poinsettias and arranging them in the crates that I've painted and adding embellishments. Every time I watch another crafter, I am inspiration. Even if we're not making the same thing, I still get wonderful ideas! And I have certainly gotten great ideas from you!🤩 I look forward to more of your videos and seeing your creations!☺️ I'm so glad I stumbled across this video and got to see your beautiful crafts! Thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas!🥰

I watched your 35 ornaments video and fell in love with your nature inspired ideas...Sooo, I went to my back yard and found bark chips, twigs, moss, tiny rocks, pieces of things that I thought had a lot of texture and went to work. I got wood circles, burlap, all the stuff I needed as cheap as I could find them. I spent several days painting, gluing, designing, creating some of the prettiest ornaments I have ever seen. And all because I watched your videos. Your ideas were so close to what I wanted, I had no loss of ideas. The ornaments looked store worthy and I sold quite a few of them at the bazaar last week. Oh my, You are so easy to follow and your voice is so easy on the ear. No chit chat, nothing to slow the continuity, just straight instructions and tips. You are truly a Nature Star!

I had thought of that, but I was concerned about denting it, I guess a person would have to try 😉 Thanks for your suggestion 💕

You could do the deer on card stock for card or stand up looker

I wanted to give another tip whether for you or anyone else to make threading twine through things. If you don’t have one of those giant needles (I don’t), I just used floral wire as my needle. Depending on what your making,just fold your twine in half and use the floral wire (in half) to go through the hole. You can also make your own needle with the floral wire if you have enough space in your holes. Great for beading or ornament making. I hope I explained that correctly.

Have you tried mixing the acrylic paint with a matte medium? I like mixing 1 part paint with about 5 parts medium but you may have to use more depending on how translucent you want. Glass paint is good too, but most people don’t have that on hand.

I have tried glaze, matte medium, glue... I think some have suggested adding water, may have to try that!! But I will look for glass paint too, that may be best 🤷‍♀️ I will have to play around one day. Thank you for your suggestion, I appreciate it 😉💕

Try mixing Elmer’s glue with the paint and just a bit of water then it looks like stained glass. It’s not water proof but looks great.

Miss Donna, I so appreciate your attention to detail in all your pieces. Your videos really get my creative juices flowing! One thing I've noticed is that you're using a fairly low-end mini glue gun. I got a new one last year and I can't recommend it enough. The Surebonder Mini Hot Glue Gun With Detail Tip is AMAZING! Such a precise and tiny stream of glue comes out, and the trigger is really responsive. Definitely check it out, because it's been a game-changer for me.

Hi Donna, I really enjoyed watching and all 10 of these ornaments are so beautiful. The galvanized deer and the mini pie tin were my favorites.

Hi Donna, Gallery Glass is like a stained glass paint. It is great stuff! I've used it off and on for many years. I just looked at several sites and it is available at the following: Factory Direct Crafts (GREAT craft site), Amazon, Hobby Lobby and Michaels. When I first started buying it over 25 yrs ago, it was like $2.50 a bottle! Not so now, but I think you would like it. Have a great Sunday!

Use an ice pick to make a hole in the lid of your jar.

For the jam jar if you wanted to make it translucent I did see a woman use water down glue and added food coloring to it then swirled it in the jar and it turns out translucent.
