What a clever way of re-use! Tuesdays fav. Christmas ornament is - get this: rag balls!! I see them everywhere online. If you don't have time to make your own (out of old cloths etc), you can buy them at Etsy - here, and here. The other examples are from paperblog, bunnyrosecottage and katecreativesalvage.
What a lovely surprise! Today I found a gift from Marion/Basiclabel in my analogue mailbox. A white star! Handmade like most everything else this talented lady does. How can I not blog about such a lovely Christmas gift? I'm a great fan of Marion's great blog basiclabelsweden, and have written about it before - here. Now one of her beauties hang, together with other fav. Christmas ornaments, from a branch in my kitchen window. Thanks Marion! Get your own here.
Below is an image from Marion's blog, which show the proper color and design of her stars:
