Twig Snowflake Christmas Tree Ornament Makeover
November 04, 2019
I like to up-cycle Christmas tree ornaments. I was given 9 of these twig style snowflake ornaments.
I decided right away to lighten them up. I covered the jute hangers with blue painter's tape.

I then spray painted the twig ornaments with Krylon Chalky Finish Spray Paint in Classic White.
The twig snowflakes then sat here while I decided if I wanted to do more to the ornaments.
In the meantime, I found a baggie of crocheted snowflake ornaments at our local thrift shop.
I have some of these stiff crocheted snowflakes in my Christmas bins. I love them. They are great to fill in small areas on the tree, AND they show up really well on a green tree.
I then decided to semi-dry brush the twig ornaments with a chip brush and Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint in White.
I removed the thin gold string hangers on the crocheted snowflakes and laid one on top of a twig ornament, along with a white button.
I liked the look, so I hot glued the crocheted snowflake and button onto the center of the twig ornaments.
I'm liking the makeover!
The ornaments have a "homey" or at least "homemade" look.
The ornaments are pretty big for this small tree, but you get the idea. (I don't have a Christmas tree up yet!)
The other five snowflake twig ornaments are all very similar.
I hope you are enjoying the Christmas tree ornament ideas!
