DIY: Pearl Ornament

1:32 PM

Pearl Bulb Ornament

Check out my new jeweled ornament HERE...


You need:
(I used pearls from a couple of broken necklaces that I had. Use about 70 pearls to cover one bulb.)



Step 1: Start from the top of the bulb and glue pearls of various sizes onto the bulb. Work your way down.


Step 2: String a bit of tulle through the top of the ornament and tie it in a bow. Hang on the tree.

Sisters Meg and Steph discovered that while living the life of poor, newlywed, college students, with fresh little babies in the middle of The Great Recession they could still have what they needed and wanted if they got to work and created things with their own hands. This mindset has saved them thousands of dollars in living expenses, and as they share their knowledge with others, the savings keeps growing.

    @ Laura - I actually used pearls from some old broken necklaces and bracelets that I had. I also got a lot of the beige colored pearls from Micheal's Craft. Hope this helps! :)
