Remember last year when I had more round ball ornaments than humanly necessary? No? Well I do. I put them to good use by making an ornament wreath (which is proudly hanging from my front door right now). Well, the ornament wreath put a dent in my collection, but what to do with the masses of round balls I have left (aside from hang them on a tree, which I don't have)?
Make ornament garland of course! I made this garland to hang from my balcony ledge. I just strung the ornaments in a semi consistent pattern, tied the ends of the cotton string to nails, and nailed the string to the brick and wood ledge. I then covered the nail heads with wire ribbon bows. Pretty easy, and didn't cost me a dime since I had it all on hand!
Some other bloggers with ornament garland to DIE for (much prettier, better tutorials, and more effort than mine!):
