I started by printing a lovely deer image from The Graphics Fairy, which has tons of lovely free images! I glued the image onto a Ball jar lid.
I found some lovely green burlap on sale on Hobby Lobby, so I glued a circular piece onto the back of the lid.
I then folded beige coffee filters and glued them around in a circle, making a little rosette outline for the ornament.
I snipped up little strands of bead garland and glued around the deer image.
Elegant yet rustic!
I decided to make another, since there is no shortage of adorable vintage Graphics Fairy images. The backing for this ornament, since the image was a rectangle, is made of the back of a Cheerios box (cheap!).
This one also got a green burlap background.
I used the same beaded garland to jazz this one up, along with a few buttons.
And the final product...
Can't wait to see them on the tree!
