Macrame Tree Ornaments and Garland

by Dr. Jessica

Prognosis: Good. The first one of these took me about 20 minutes to make, but after doing a couple I cut that time in half. Make one as ornament or make several to string together for a garland. Materials: Macrame cord, wood stars (I got mine at Michaels), fabric stiffener (hairspray will also do) Tools:...

Easy Salt Dough Magnets

by Dr. Jessica

Prognosis: Excellent. Start with making the salt dough ornaments found here. Skip the step about making a hole for a hanging ribbon. Once ornaments are cool and dry, hot glue a magnet to the back of them. Done! Treatment Plan: I like the unfinished look, but these would also be really cute painted.

Honeycomb Paper Ornaments

by Dr. Jessica

Splurging on a 3 inch hole punch ($22 on Amazon) would probably give this project an excellent prognosis, saving time and producing a cleaner result.

Turkey Tassel Garland

by Dr. Jessica

Prognosis: Fair Used this youtube tutorial on tassel garland, stick-on googley eyes and orange and red felt. It’s a little messy looking, but my 2 year old loves the turkeys. The video recommends using a crochet hook which I managed without. I just made sure I tied the first tassel knots with yarn long enough...

Flower Turkey Wreath

by Dr. Jessica

Prognosis: Fair I created this wreath after seeing a similar preassembled kit on orientaltrading.com. It was out of stock so I made my own version using 3 different colors of orange felt, a flower stencil, brown buttons, ribbon and styrofoam wreath I found at Joann, craft glue, hot glue, and a glue gun. It turned...
