glittery chord ornament

While meandering through the aisles in Michael's, I stumbled upon these sweet little letters. I knew the second that I saw them that they would make perfect ornaments. I originally thought that I'd wrap them with yarn, but I found something better: glittery chord!

I won't say that these were "simple"...because it did take some time to make sure the chord wrapped around the letter nicely and covered the entire thing. However, all it took was an eye hook, some chord & a hot glue gun and I had some fun little ornaments to include in some of my Christmas gifts.

Even though they're a little late for this year, I'm sure they'll look adorable on the tree next year!

Christmas has come early this year (or late - depending on how you look at it). My husband and I started a tradition a couple years ago that involved naming our Christmas tree. We got the idea from dear friends of ours...and since we name everything else in our lives (I drive a car named Betty White) we knew that we could keep this tradition alive.
