Spoon Christmas Ornament

I am gearing up for A Special Christmas Soiree with today's post!

 As well as showing off the ornament I made for my exchange partner in Eisy Morgan's Christmas Ornament Exchange!

That's right a double whammy! ☺

Here's my supplies:

I started by bending the handle of the spoon down so it will hang by itself.  Next I arranged, rearranged, arranged and rearranged till I liked the 'pattern' of my flowers in the spoon. Hot glued them in place......

Next I beaded a piece of the wire with the seed beads....

Then I slid on the cross and wound the wire around the base of the spoon and that's it!

Easy as pie!

A few things...

I have a stash of odds and ends silverware from working at Dillard's.  You know the display silverware? Well when they discontinue a pattern you can sell the display for cheap and thus my stash!  I had the rest of my supplies as well....the flowers are from my first plum of a deal from Pick Your Plum!!  So this makes the second project from them and I still have some left!  I'm loving the combo of turquoise, red and white for Christmas and I had just enough!  My exchange partner is Allison from Feeding My Temple.  Not only is she a fellow sister in Christ but a fellow Okie as well!! How fun to get her in the exchange!!  So I knew I wanted to make her ornament and make it special.  Since her blog is about balancing 'feeding her body, mind, and spirit with the Word and amazing food' I wanted the ornament to reflect that.  

Spoon + pretty flowers + cross = Feeding My Temple.

Get it?

And how perfect that I had all supplies on hand!! Go me!! ☺

I sure hope she likes it!!

And speaking of Pick Your Plum....there's still time to enter the giveaway!!
