Monogram Christmas Balls





Ever since I started blogging one thing that I have discovered about myself is I love "monograms" I didn't realise this until I took a look around my house.
I have initials everywhere and now I have started the monograms ha ha

I love them on towels ,sheets,pictures anything that can be monogrammed I love...  and now I have discovered "Monogrammed" Christmas Balls....PURE LOVE....

I found the idea while surfing the net (what a weird term) at The Creativity Exchange .

So the following are my beautiful monogrammed Christmas balls......
 I bought the large balls from the reject shop $4 each. The large rhinestone letter in the middle were bought from England via eBay $3 each,the letters either side are from Spotlight $2.50 each.

These balls are quite big.They aren't what I had in mind when I thought I would make a couple...But I am very happy now...
 When I got the large rhinestone letters (gulp) Too big...Kev is going to kill me I just spent all this money on something that I can't use cause I didn't check my sizes..... I thought .'New plan '...So I found my large balls- then changed the sides letters (the side ones were originally going to be the main initial blah blah blah who cares it didn't go to plan but has turned out better than I thought.....
 Don't the colours look so good..I normally don't like gold or red but in this case I have been wrong they look stunning...
This is my monogram ball......Love it..... I am going to get a stand for it to display it from or I might just get some fishing line and hang it on my dresser who knows where it is going to end up but one thing is it will be hung with love....and treasured for years to come........
These are my mini balls well actually they are normal size -I mean about the size of a tennis ball...
So I think this may be the end of all my rhinestone balls for the year.

Talk about an easy project
peel and stick then add a bow.

I hope you have a go and make one for yourself or for gifts....
