A few years ago {well, more like 10 actually} I found these clear ornaments at a craft store and filled them with fake snow and tied them onto the tops of all the gifts I gave that year. Since then, I've just filled my own with whatever color scheme I had planned for my tree ...last year was pink, which is why many of the ones I have now are filled with dried pink leaves. I'm loving the shells this year ...especially because these balls are hanging in our beach & brick bathroom, but I always love the fake snow. It's such an easy way to repurpose and reuse the same ornaments each year yet have something completely new and unique.



I'm sure you can find clear glass ornaments {or plastic even} at your local craft store ...or you can get some here.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with this idea. I am always looking for new ways to decorate my house to make it a little more unique. This year I took a beautiful glass vase and put some of our glittery ornaments in it. It's classy and festive. I'm in the process of finding some string lights that are battery operated to really make it POP. But I LOVE this idea. I will have to get some of those glass ones. Thanks!
what a Cali-Christmas!
Love the idea! I'm definitely going to try it!
Ahhh, I love this! What a great idea Maegan. x

Those are so cute!
Another idea (and what we do at mom's house for her tree):
Take the clear glass balls and clean their outside surfaces really well with rubbing alcohol (it's best to use a piece of light weight felt like you find in the kids crafts area) and then use Adirondack Alcohol Ink (again with felt) to blot on color. (USE GLOVES!!!!) They're less reusable but you can get the ink in just about any color and if they don't have your color(s) you can mix them on the felt before blotting. :)
i love that idea. the seashells especially. i would even keep them up all year long.
I love these. You can have different ornaments every year.
Such a cute idea. Thanks!
Brilliant idea! I shall try next year, since I already put my Christmas tree up this year.

LOVE this! Thanks so much for the incredibly creative idea.
That is such a cool idea!
(But how did you get the shells in?!?)
Wow, I like your ideas. Very creative ... thank you so much!

I did something similar this year by adding feathers inside the ornamnets...and for garland on my tree I used feather boas!!!
with all the colors available the posibilities are endless!!!
Its really cool. it a great idea if you really want to have a different style of Christmas tree. i love that and very creative. thanks for sharing your idea.
I REALLY need to get in gear! For some reason I'm super lazy this year. Love the clear Christmas balls. LOVE!
I just stumbled upon this site, it's puts a spin on what you did but I think it would look amazing if you had a couple of these too!
