Snowman (or women) ornaments

OK, I know Christmas is over~but I just had to share these before I put them away.
They are a cute, easy ornament idea...great for gifts.
You'll need frosted ornaments, tinsel pipe cleaners and sparkly pom poms. Some adhesive, either a good white glue ( I like Aileen's Tacky glue)or a hot glue gun.
And puff paint in black and orange. Slightly bend the pipe cleaner into an arch, glue each end down on the sides of the ornament. Next, add pom pom on each side and glue again.(If you are using the tacky glue you might want to do this as 2 separate steps and hold them down for a few minutes to get them to set.) Make dots with the black paint for the eyes and mouth, then a squiggly narrow triangle for the nose. Let dry over night. TOO CUTE!

Ornament Storage

Use egg cartons to store your ornaments, you could us a little left over tissue paper in the bottom of each section if needed. Great way to re-use those egg cartons.

Ceiling storage for wrapping paper

Use wire to hang your wrapping paper. A few eye hooks and some picture hanging wire will do the trick. This would be great in a closet.
