Ornaments for my Halloweeen Tree

I got two amazing Halloween trees last year. However due to space issues in my new home I only have room for one, which is probably ok since I hardly have any ornaments to hang on it yet. I have been seeing this cool vintage looking and very expensive ornaments on Etsy but I just refuse to spend that much money when I know I can make some of my own even though they might not be vintage.

Here is one of my Halloween Trees. As you can tell it looks pretty bare. I will have to make some more when I get a chance. By the way sorry for the bad pictures - the light from the windows make them look all dark.

The first one! I actually made this one using scraps I had laying around from when I made my Halloween Rosette...all the same supplies plus a few extras including one of those amazing Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons...see I managed to put my own vintage spin on them ha! I should mention the the string the ornaments are hanging from is actually White Baker's Twine that I dyed with a ink refill...what a mess I had black fingers for days...

 Here is the second one...it also uses some scraps I had laying around but I added a scallop circle punched out of the the silver Glimmer paper. I used my papersnips and cut in each scallop and lightly bent them up  for more dimension then I added a big Basic Black button and a Large Pearl Basic Jewel for the center. I didn't want my tulle - which by the way again is Crumb Cake that has been inked with the Staz'on Black Ink - to have the scalloped edge that the Tulle original comes with so I snipped  the edge till I liked the way it looked.

 My Boo Ornament I actually made using Orchard harvest Designer Series Paper instead of the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper. I wanted my edge of the rosette to have points just like the one in the Designer Rosette Bigz XL die but because the folds there are at every 1/2" I cut each point using my papersnips. The little spiderweb is from Spooky Bingo Bit and the Boo! from Tiny Tags stamp sets. Black 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon makes a super fun layer between the rosette and scalloped circle.

 My last ornament is actually using a technique that was showcase in last year's Holiday catalog. The cones are made by punching our squares of paper then rolled and glued in to cones...messy I had to wash hand several times...but the end result is so worth it. The Spooky is from the Border Banter Stamp Set and attached with a 3/8" Basic Black Glimmer brad on top of a snippet of Silver Glimmer Paper punched out with one of the punches in the Little Labels Punch Pack.

 As you can tell I love all that glitters...I can't wait to fill my tree up with more creations. I hope to make some each year to add to my collection.
