Thanks to today's guest blogger, Michelle Sybert from Muffin Tin Mom, who is the host of Muffin Tin Monday, a fun weekly challenge to create fun meals served in muffin tins.

Holiday Ornaments from Table Scatter

by Michelle Sybert, Muffin Tin Mom

During the Holidays, our local dollar store is aflutter with treasures that make my heart skip a creative beat. On a recent trip, I was able to score some fantastic glittered table scatter for only $1 per packet. The kids made these simple Christmas ornaments using the table scatter. I was amazed at how easy this simple Christmas ornament craft turned out.

Here's what you'll need:

Holiday Table Scatter from The Dollar Tree ($1)
Scissor, Glue, Hole Punch (on hand)
Cardstock (on hand or .59 at your local craft store)
Ribbon (on hand or $1 at the Dollar Store)

Total: $1

1. Using scissors, cut out a circle "ring" from cardstock. Cut out the center, leaving about 1 inch width as shown below.

2. Glue the individual pieces of table scatter onto the the paper ring.

3. Punch a hole in the cardstock, thread a length of ribbon through and tie it off, creating that hanging ornament.

Hang on your tree and enjoy!

Optional: Cut out a favorite photo to place behind the ornament and create a photo ornament keepsake!

In addition to seeing a cute and easy craft, I figured out how I want to top the candle table scape I’m creating as a gift. I’m going to glue the leaves, etc to a plate but was trying to figure out how to do it up to the candle but make it smooth. I’m going to cut a circle like yours and sparkle it up…now I have to get more creative. lol Thanks for sharing!
