Baroque-Inspired Ornaments
DIY: Baroque Pearl Ornament
If you want your ornaments to make an elegant statement, we have the DIY for you! This month is all about sparkle and shine, from the tinsel on a Christmas tree to the icicles adorning your window. With these frosty and fun images in mind, we wanted to create something that was both seasonal and sparkly!
What You’ll Need:
8mm Faux Pearls Package #49380
6mm Faux Pearls Package #49387
40 x 30mm Oval Women Head Cameo #41584
3/8” Single Face Satin Ribbon (Ivory) #00295
7/8” Single Face Satin Ribbon (Silver) #00298
Styrofoam ball
Pins
T-pins
Glue
Scissors
1. Glue the cameo onto the center of the Styrofoam ball, and begin pinning pearls around it to create a frame.
2. Continue adding pearls to the ornament until it is completely covered, aside from a small space at the top.
3. Pull your satin ribbon through a t-pin, and glue one end to the other.
4. Once the ribbon seam is dry, push the t-pin through the empty space on top.
5. Create a bow using the other satin ribbon, and glue it in front of the looped ribbon.
This pearl-adorned ornament is perfect for a classic and elegant tree. If you want the ornament to be a little less Baroque-inspired, just remove the cameo for an ornament that’s reminiscent of a playful snowball!
