We’ve been married more than two and a half years, and I still have a box of extra wedding programs, table cards and other paper goods I made. I ditched a lot before we moved into this house, but I think I still kept too much. I’ve been on an organization/purge spree lately, and some of this stuff has to either go or find a higher purpose. So when I ran across this idea on Dollar Store Crafts, I couldn’t wait to put some of the materials to good use.
I got a dozen of these clear glass ball ornaments for $2, so it’s a really cheap craft too.
Then I remembered I had a bunch of Elise’s birth announcements left. So I thought I would make her one.
I don’t think the results were as successful as using colored cardstock. It was also a little strange to cut up photos of your baby and see disembodied fingers and eyeballs floating inside a glass ball.
This didn’t use up as much paper as I thought it would. I only used two wedding programs. And Elise’s ornament only used four 4×6 photo cards, so I still have a pile of paper. Guess it’s going in the recycle bin!
