Not living next door to Macy's and even if I did I couldnt work their ornaments into my bargain budget.. There was nothing else to do but make my own using what I had on hand...
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. I love them...~!! just what I wanted and needed....
I went to the dollar store and at the very back of the aisle they had a box of last years balls priced at 2--5 in each pack- plain sorta yucky balls--- for $1.00... that made them 10 cents each... OK , I can handle that price ....
Stained sweater I saved for I didnt know what... Buttons from my jar of saved buttons and 2 rolls for 1.00 ribbon and Viola...I figure 10 perfect balls to suit me for about 3.00 was a good deal...
I needed balls that had texture- were the right colors- and added some lightness to my tree..
Sonny is a happy Girl... :)
