    My grandmother has since passed away. Upon cleaning her home I found a box of buttons and needles and pins and thread that she used to use when she sewed our clothes. I put those inside the clear ornament and gave it to all of her grandchildren so that we could hang it on our Christmas tree to remember her every year! 💕

    What a thoughtful gift and keepsake. Having that lovely visual reminder of her on your Christmas tree can instantly bring up sweet memories and put a smile on your face. Can you hear your children asking "Why are you smiling Mom?" I find that moments like these often present the perfect opportunity to share a bit about someone who is no longer with us with family members, especially children, helping them get to know and appreciate their ancestors. These quick unplanned moments helps them get to know the people who helped shape you and ultimately them as well. Hopefully, each time they notice the ornament filled with buttons they, too, may think of her again and maybe ask "tell me more about her Mom”. Your kind gesture will keep her alive in hearts and minds for a long time to come. HINT: If the kids are young glue on the top. They may want to hold the ornament as you talk about her. Curiosity may = buttons everywhere if you don't. Plus, holding the ornament will help the new memory you are creating last longer for them. If you have a picture of her, or several from over the years, now would be a great time to share them. Did you realize the heartfelt impact your kind gift could have? You did a great thing.

    I was a daycare teacher and one year I asked every child to share with me something important or significant that happened that year. At least 5 things (Mostly what grade they were in, teacher, fave subject) typed them and printed them onto paper that was patterned on one side and white on the other. Cut up their memories into straps had them roll them up to place in the ornament. Then gave them a permanent silver or gold marker to write their name then I wrote the year on the back and attached a little tag that explains the Memory Ornament. The kids then gifted them to their parents

    One of my favorite memories was when my daughter was in kindergarten, and each child in the class had to write down on a piece of paper their favorite thing to eat, and the ingredients! Some of the recipes were hysterical, and then the teacher made copies of each recipe, with the child's name on the bottom of the recipe! Then she put the whole book together for each child to give a copy to their Mom for Mother's day! And the spelling of the ingredients was adorable too!

    One thing thing I learned is that before you put any acrylic paint inside of any glass ornament, you should rinse them out real well with a mixture a white vinegar and water. Turn them upside down and let them dry overnight. This process helps the paint adhere to the inside of the glass MUCH better than not doing it at all.

    Katelyn, I saved all the leftover pieces of fabric, trim, etc from my daughter's wedding and I used them to make Christmas ornaments for their first Christmas together. Lots of fun because I made everything for her wedding, so I had lots of things to use. I even stuffed one with the iridescent wrap and pieces of her silver lace tablecloths I made. I was so happy with the way they turned out.

    I love all the awesome ways that you have done here! I actually had bought a cricut after I started watching you! I was just going to add in,back in 2018 a neighbor had asked me to announce her pregnancy in a super unique way! Knowing I am always looking to do something different I had gotten 6 Clear balls, I did 2 with baby socks wrapped up, added in the MINI pacifiers,Snow and tied a bow! 2 more w Snow, Baby A & Baby B! MINI Babies Wrapped bow, Last 2 Snow, Bow, and had a MINI sign using card stock, laying flat on back so it read BIGGER " WE ARE OTW GRANDMA & GRANDPA!", When she sent me the videos of the Grandparents reading them I CRIED, My kids, Hubby & ALL I showed it too! The couple had tried to have a baby for 6years & had decided that they were Financially Tired, Mentally & just was going to not try anymore....Oh wait did I forget to mention the husband had been injured a month b4 announcement & they soon were going to be living off his military $ and her PART TIME job as she was in school for nursing?!? As we see sometimes God might have other ideas as they had gotten pregnant with twins & they had a boy ^ a girl! Best gift I believe I have ever given anyone outside of my home! Now they do these same clear ornaments using updated pics of them to hold as a tradition! You never know what effect you make on ppls lives by just using ur mind & Heart!

    A couple years ago my 4 (adult) kids went to a 3d sculpting shop and had themselves 3D sculpted as Christmas elves, then put the little elves into the plastic round ornaments and decorated the top hanger area. Best ornament and best gift idea ever! They were so adorable and unique. The 3D sculpture captured their likeness pretty well. And really made the greatest ornaments on the tree. I was very surprised, and impressed they came up with such a unique idea!

    😇💜 Really CUTE ideas. I have always made homemade Christmas ⛄ ornaments for at least 30+ years. One idea for the clear glass ornaments that I have made is, by mixing two or three different colors of paint 🎨 and pour the colors IN the glass ornaments, and swirl the paint 🎨 anyway you want. Then turn the ornament up side down so the paint 🎨 drains out. I would let it dry over night, and then I would tie a ribbon 🎀 at the top of the ornament.☃️🎀❄️🥶🤗💜

    I do fluid art. You can put these upside down on a baking rack with a medium-sized canvas from DT under the baking rack. Pour the paint over it the bulb and let the paint flow down to the canvas. Remove the baking rack with the bulbs on them to another area to drip dry. You then tilt the canvas back and forth and you have a matching canvas. That way you don't waste the paint. I do it over DT vases. One recommendation is to not use quite as much of the pouring medium. If the paint has a pourable, but thicker consistency, it allows more of a marbling look. Or if you don't want a matching canvas, simply put a drop cloth type thing under the drying racks, and you can scrape the paint up and put it back in an empty bottle for a future craft.

    Years ago my children and I did ornaments with the acrylic paint inside like you did with the snowmen. But we layered it like you did with the pouring paint, swirled, and let the excess drain. To me it was the best of both worlds: the marbled look without the mess or fear the paint will get scratched off the surface. Love your ideas!

    Take a favorite photo of family members (perhaps those who have passed) and copy it. Roll it up like you did the wrapping paper but unroll it and roll it back the opposite way. Insert it and once inside you can use a skewer stick to unroll it. Since you undid the first roll, the paper doesn't have as much memory and won't be so reluctant to UNROLL once inside. Drop red berries an ever-green sprig, your snowflakes etc. Perhaps a quote, sports logo, hobby icon, personalize it to fit the person either inside or attached and gift it to those who are missing someone this year. All of your ideas were SUPER CUTE Katelyn! Well done! PS. buy those ornaments in bulk on line NOW so you won't miss out. Deliver to store FOR FREE.

    Congratulations on 400k!!!! Amazing work Edit: I am loving these ornaments!! I have a special needs son (24-hour medical care, WC bound, feeding tube, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, feeding tube, and more). His teacher comes to the house to work one on one with him, and she’s very artsy. She was wanting to make an ornament every week for Christmas in December. I’ll be sure to grab plenty of these items! Thanks so much

    I love the mermaid 🧜‍♀️ one! I live at the beach so I put sand & shells 🐚 collected in the ornaments. Paint the bottom with blue paint, hang down in the middle a star, sun or dolphin in the middle of the ornament & write the beach name on the ornament. Sometimes I use twine or rope to make ribbon! Thank You for the video it gave me some great ideas!!!

    Katelyn I just found your channel and am inpressed with your creativity. Now I have to see more so I will be watching older videos. Of course I've subscribed and texted a few friends to check out your channel. On several of the snowglobe style ornaments you added faux snow on your other ornament video. A tip I got from another Christmas video was to wipe the inside of the glass or plastic with a dryer sheet. This helps prevent the snow from clinging to the inside of the glass. It works! Now it looks like snow not a blizzard. I am really enjoying your crafts. Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.

    So many great ideas❤️ I do paint pouring on canvas and on clear ornaments. I put a silicone mat underneath to get the drips from the paint. When it’s dry on the mat, I peel it off (it’s called a skin) and use it to make jewelry or magnets. That way you never waste paint.

Each of us making an ornament and putting the year on it and then the next year, when it's time to trim the tree...we get the ornaments out and riminess....sigh. my mother would always buy us an ornament every year, put our names on it and the year it was bought. Hmmm, I wonder where my ornaments are right now? Anyways, these are super great ideas. I can't wait to do these. And not expensive, and something fun to do. by.myself...THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!!!! ;D
