I know this is an out-of-season post. However, the pain is still fresh and I wanted to make it right. Let me backtrack, my dude and I recently moved to a new house with a basement. Naively and haphazardly, I stored my Christmas ornaments in cardboard boxes down in the four-foot high, unfinished basement. Moisture and mold ruined all of my ornaments! I was crushed and mad at myself.
Yesterday, I made new ornaments out of clothespins, scrap paper, felt and buttons. It was so easy and fun giving them personalities and dressing them up. For their hair and eyes, I used a marker and for the hanging loop, I used fishing line. Now, I have handmade ornaments and a lesson in storage. One more photo after the jump...
