ornament ideas
I was recently at the Louisville KY Stampin Up regional seminar and a woman had the CUTEST ornaments for swaps. They were made using tiles, now these are not big tiles, not even the size tiles you would use for coasters, these tiles come on a sheet the size of a normal 12x12 tile, and are octagonal shape, probalby 16 to 25 tiles on one sheet each of the tiles is connected w/ fibers like you would see in carpeting. I hope you know what i am talking about! You can get them at any hardware store, home depot etc. Basically imagine it like this, 4 or 5 one inch tiles across and 4 or 5 one inch tiles going down and then obviously filled in to be a square. She cut the fibers off so each was an individual tile and stamped an image on each one, snowman, snowflake etc. and sealed it w/ acrylic sealer and colored the images then sealed again. She attached a piece of grosgrain ribbon to the back w/ what i can only assume is superglue or gorilla glue to hang the ornament with. I wish i had a picture to show you because they are so adorable, but i didn't get one before she ran out. Hope this helps! Cheap and adorable!!!!
