Mixed Media Collage Ornaments With Ali | Completed Project
I am so excited to share the end result of my collage ornament adventure!
You can read previous posts on this project here and here.
I had the best time working on this over the last few months and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! I love that I can add more if I want or just let this be the magic that it is right now!
After collaging up more ornaments I went outside my house and cut a branch from one of our trees to use as the hanging rod. I love that makes it feel like it's rooted in this house and this season of my life. I used this red ribbon to tie a knot in each end in order to hang it on the chalkboard.
I ended up making about 50 ornaments.
I used a variety of different twines and ribbons to hang each ornament from the branch. I liked mixing in some thicker ribbon with the thiner twine. With the thicker ribbon I used my Tiny Attacher stapler to staple the two ends after they go through the eyelet on the ornament and also stapled them together after looping the ends over the branch. When using the twine I tied knots.
Here are links to the ribbons I used:
- Red + White Chevron Stripe Twill
- Red Satin Ribbon
- Bakers Twine set that includes green/white + red/white + red/green/white
- Cream with Two Red Stripes
Here's a quick video showing what it looks like hanging in my house:

Ali- I Love It!!!!, Your hanging ornament project came out really nice. I plan to work on a similar project with my Grand Daughter. Also, thanks for all the inspiration for the Little Moments project. So glad I discovered your web page so very long ago. Although I haven’t commented much - you are a huge reason that I have scrapped all these thousands of Little Moments.
Thanks,Mary
Thank you Mary!

Really great project Ali! Did u make ornaments with felt listed in your supplies? And did you make the cute felt swag above the ornament project? I’m obsessed with felt this year🩵
I've ordered from there and from Benzie Designs - great felt there! I didn't make the felt swag - ordered that from Anthro last year I think!

This is SO GOOD!!!! I was wondering how you will store this after the holidays? I love the idea of making something that is home decor while working on my DD!!!!
Probably going to find a box to store it in - and wrap it in tissue paper.

I LOVED this so, so much! I was inspired to create my own version, and I did! I love it too. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!

I love this and am working on it currently. I’m wondering if you could share any tips or tricks to putting it together - for instance, did you start with attaching the longest ones first or the shortest or does it matter? Wondering what you found easiest! Thank you!
