Red Glass Ornaments...

....and a hanger, say what?

You heard me!  A hanger!  You know.... the ones you get from the dry cleaners.

**Edit**  didn't like the weight of the hanger wire for this project - too heavy!


**Edit** Using my 24 gauge wire instead.



The red glass balls...from the dollar store.

Not bad eh?  There are 15 red glass balls in each sleeve.  Five Shiny, five matte finish and five are glittery!  That's a whopping $3 for 45 red glass ornaments and a hanger which I'm sure I paid for somewhere in the dry cleaning bill.

Here's the project in the works


It's Wednesday and you know what that means, it's time to show everyone what's on your work desk.  If you're wondering why I would even want to share what's on my work desk, you need to pop by Julia's  for a proper explanation where she leads the global gallivant of creativity.  There isn't another place like it, I promise you!  Grab a cup of your favourite beverage, click here and enjoy the journey!

Wherever you are in you day, I hope you're enjoying it!
Wishing you many wonderful creations!

  20. What a great buy ...and your creation looks very interesting. I know you didn't use the hangers but I found them great, when the kids were young, to make the skeletens of head dresses for fancy dress....my fav was an elizabethan one.
