I bought a roll of 15 gold and silver ornaments for $1 at the Dollar Store, and turned them into paper mache-type cute ones! Follow these steps and you can make your own!
1. Find cute (and colorful!) pages from a magazine.
2. Crumple into balls to give the paper some texture.
3. Cover one ornament at a time with Mod Podge. Rip the selected paper into strips and use more Mod Podge as you go.
4. After all ornaments are covered, give them one more good layer of the glorious Mod Podge.
5. I ended with a coat of clear varnish to give them a glossy finish.
6. Find some perfect ribbon for bows...
7. And Viola! Cute Christmas ornaments to use as you choose. I'll be handing mine out with some of our Christmas cards. 
Happy Holidays!

I LOVE modge podge! It's seriously one of the most amazing substances ever invented!
So I love all your tutorials lately! These are beautiful! I did your light switch cover the other day, and although I love the final result, they're aren't NEAR as good as the ones you made me. Maybe that's because I couldn't wait two hours in between all the steps. Too impatient.
But hey- I've got something for you! I stole a book from my mom's that she probably bought at DI I'm guessing. Anyway, the book teaches you how to draw figures, and there's a full page picture of a girl sitting with a black cat that looks just like you. It's completely vintage (I'm guessing 60's?) and completely cool. I want to give you the picture, I think you'll love it. So we need to get together sometime soon!
I love these ornaments! Can you mail me on of them with my Christmas Card???
