Holiday & Decor

[shecandoit22]

Hello all of you Diyer’s out there.

I have a fun new project for the holidays for you that came from a commercial of ours.

It’s a Christmas Ornament Frame.

You can display all of your beautiful ornaments even if you don’t put a Christmas tree up.

This is a great opportunity for all of you cat lovers that can’t put a tree up because your furry friend thinks it a playground.

It’s also a great way to recycle that old window sash that you took out to put that new energy efficient window in.

What you will need:

-Christmas Ornaments

-Invisible hanging wire or fishing line

-Box of small C Hooks

-Drill

-Paint

-Paint brush

-Drop cloth

-Sander and/or sandpaper

-Old window or a picture frame, or make it yourself with molding and lumber

Here are the step by step instructions.

I can’t wait to make one for my house to put over my fireplace. It will be great not to have to worry about my irreplaceable heirloom ornaments getting broken by my kids. Both of them the 2 legged one and the 4 legged one.

Have fun making your frame and please post some pictures so all of us can tell you how great it looks.

Happy Holidays from your How to Community.

As soon as I saw the commercial I knew I had to make one. My father and I made it out of 1x2's which he routered by hand. I got the ornaments and screw eye hooks from Walmart. I love DIY projects!!!

Loved this idea the moment I saw it.  My husband and I made it out of 1x4s.  Took more time for the paint to dry than to make the frame.  Really enjoyed how creative I could get with the ornaments. 

Total size is 41/2 ft x 3 ft.  Hangs on a large wall in our dining room.

Wow!!  Danielle and Marchisours those are amazing. You guys did a great job.

My favorite color is blue so I love Daniells's but I really love all of the different ornaments that Marchisours used. They both look really awesome.  

Hey Danielle are those push lights on the side and top? I installed battery operated slim line fluorescent lights at the top and bottom of mine. It really makes it shine.

Thanks for sharing your great ornament hangers I really love seeing our members projects.

I love your ornament frame  project!!   I would love to know how the ornament chandelier project was made?  is there something I need to purchase to hang the wires from the ceiling?

Thanks for your help.

Matter a fact there is a great post done by Ask Mr Jay on the Christmas Ornament Tree Project. There have been a few members that have already built their own and post some pictures. They all look really great.

Just click on the link above and it will take you right to the post.

Have fun and post some pictures of your ornament tree once you get it done.

I DID IT!!!!!  I saw this on the commercial and HAD to make it.  I looked everywhere I could think of for an old wooden window frame but came up with nothing, so I made my own.  It was fun and frustrating but the end result was well worth it.
