Take a relaxing weekend this Christmas and make up a batch of these ornaments. You don't likely need or desire to make 100, unless you are an artist or maker and want to make them for your next market. Try a handful or a dozen. They are a joy to make in small batches.  They make delightful gifts. You can also use them as gift tags and write a special note or date on the back. I've linked the tutorial below if you'd like to get creative and make some!

With Christmas around the corner, I decided to make a batch for our markets, but I wanted to share a tutorial with you in case you'd like to have time to make some for the upcoming Christmas season.  They make great Christmas gifts for teachers, office friends, family, and other Christmas events.  I love how they have the traditional reds and greens but can be used all year long.

These are a joy to paint and if you fall into a rhythm painting multiples you will begin to relax and play with color and drift off into an artist's happy place. Here is the tutorial if you'd like to follow along or just to view if you need a calm and restful break.
