My first time watching your videos. This is such a great idea. I always feel bad after Christmas and I throw out the lovely cards. Not anymore. I think I’ll write on the back of the ornament who gave me the card and the year. Thank you for sharing such a sweet idea. 😊
Janis I think the idea of recycling the cards is a great way of having the memory of the individual who sent you the card that they included you in their celebration.
My first time here, too. The red tassel makes the berries pop so I believe it was the right decision. Ironically, we don't have Christmas, but I love this idea for birthday gifts for our grandkids. I thought it would be a great idea to use their own pictures, decorate them with their favorite colors, and add tassels, charms, or anything else that would show what they love. It could be a basketball, a dog, maybe a flute, their initials, or a school LOGO. How fun to have that hanging on their bedroom door, their wall, or possibly in their school locker. Just some additional ideas I had while watching you make this. Now, i can't wait to get started. We have 21 grandchildren (so far) so I have my work cut out for me. lol OH! I just might make a day of it and have them help me, too. What a great way to make new memories and enjoy each other's company. Thanks so very much for this!
I agree your voice and demeanor is very comforting. God bless you and yours. Your tutorial is very precise and love how you covered every step of the process.
I agree that both the white and the red tassels look nice on that ornament. But, I like the red best because it goes so well with the red gem. Beautiful ornament! Thanks for your inspirational videos!
My mother in law would save all kinds of cards for recycling ♻️ to make something else. She used birthday cards, Christmas cards, wedding cards,etc. She saved everything. Then she would rework them into decorations or pictures or Christmas Advent Calendar boxes for her grandchildren. One year she took an old wooden Coke bottle case and painted it in all the nooks and crannies. Then she cut the Christmas cards to match the shape so it would flap down to cover the small square opening. She glued it to the inside top of the opening. She did this for each square opening to total the days of December. After the card covers had all dried she filled each opening with enough candies 🍬 and treats for each child in our family. Oh, I forgot. Before she glued the cards onto the box she wrote the day number on each card. My kids were elated!! We reused that Advent calendar for many years. It was time consuming but grandma was artsy crafty that way. I like arts and crafts too, so I got a lot of inspiration from her.😊
I think I like the red tassel. This is a beautiful ornament. I adore reusing & recycling greeting cards. The options are unlimited with such pretty & different cards. Wishing you & yours a very safe, happy & healthy holiday season! 🎁
I had bought a bag of the wooden pieces, some round and some oval and never could figure out how to make them into a nice ornament! Your ornament is so beautiful and your ideas the best! I love it! Hope your Christmas is as beautiful as your ornament!
So beautiful! Thanks so much for this tutorial! These are perfect for small Christmas gifts. And, the amount of time and love in making each one will make them a treasured gift for years to come!🌲
I liked the red tassel,better, they both look nice,but the red makes it so noticeable ! I love, so beautiful.made with lots of love, whoever gets it will be such a lucky,person, if you keep it you’ll be the lucky one.♥️👍
Lori, for me you never make mistakes It looks beautiful w/ red teasel The whole ornament looks so beautiful God bless your hands God bless you and your family Thank you for everything you teaching us ❤🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
This ornament is really beautiful! What a gorgeous way to use Christmas cards. Thanks for showing us the inexpensive 'gold' foil. I had never seen that before but would like to try it.
I really enjoy watching you doing these crafts you do. They remind me of my dear grandma when she use to craft. These are the old school crafting that I grew up with. Thanks for the sweet memories. You are doing a great job in bringing beauty to your world. God bless you!
I just wanted to tell you that I’m so sorry for your loss…our pets are our family, our babies…we mourn the loss no differently ~~ I love that you made him Christmas ornaments every year ! This ornament would be absolutely perfect!! God Bless 💕🙏💕
I love how you cut the pics out of the card. I have used that exact gold around the edge of a wood ornament. I also got several colors from Amazon. It is actually very inexpensive and comes out so beautiful. You add so much detail and embellishments that enhance the beauty of the ornament. Thanks for showing this! 🥰🎄
We used to make these as kids but we used pearls off mother’s broken necklaces and secured them with seed pins. We also used washed meat trays for the base. Yours are so pretty! And I like your idea for the “bail”!
I like the red it balances off with the birds, berries and red gemstone bow at the top of the ornament. This is a beautiful ornament. Can't wait to make. Thank you for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching and listening to you speak. You have such a soothing voice to listen to. Stay Blessed, Safe and Healthy From Florida 🇺🇸
First time watching and thrilled I came across your channel. I'm a "bird-aholic" and love Christmas, so I'll be on the lookout for cards in which I can make ornaments. I'll go through my previous cards, as I save them year-to-year, and see what I can start on for next Christmas.
I love ❤️ 😍 💖 your videos. And your voice is so calming. It's so relaxing watching you create such beautiful projects. Thank you for your excellent instructions and explaining where you purchased the items, too. ❤
I absolutely LOVE this!! You came to my rescue! I have a similar project in mind, but couldn't think how to glam it up and still honor the memory it's meant for. This is perfect. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
Love the birds! My cousin just sent me some vintage Christmas cards she found cleaning out her mother’s house when she passed. I can’t wait to see what I can come up with. ❤️
I've never seen you on TH-cam before and I love what you are doing with the ornament, but I would have liked to have had a link to how you did the base for the ornament and a link to it would have helped a lot with this. The ornament is so pretty and so well-done. Love it. :D For me--I love the red tassel. The ornament just keeps getting more and more beautiful and I've so enjoyed watching you create it.
So many beautiful cards over the years, yes store bought... now gone... This would be a lovely way to remember a loved one who is no longer here using a card they gave you.
Hi Happy Bird, This ornament is so pretty. The gold flakes brings it to a whole new level. Those flakes are on my HL list. A tip I was given that has saved me a lot of time is to add a dot of hot glue to whatever glue your using to give it a secure hold while the other glue is drying so you can continue on with the craft. Obviously it wouldn’t work with the flakes. Ex: had u added a dot of hot glue after putting on the other glue to the bale u could have continued with the pearls . You may already know this and would rather wait for things to dry. I thought I would mention incase you or your subscribers were not aware of what I find is a great tip.😊
First time watching your channel and I 'm delightful! Your ornament is absolutely gorgeous and no it was a great idea for you to put the red tassel! ❤️
First time for me, too. So glad I found this and am looking forward to watching more. I'm not really artistic/crafty but your step-by-step instructions give me hope that I can try it successfully. God bless you with a Merry Christmas!
Lori , that is absolutely gorgeous!! I think what appeals to me with your pieces is all the detail work. As you know, I love detail work myself, and your creations are always stunning. Since watching your first one, were you use that base I’ve ordered the card stock. I’ve ordered the Fabri-tax. I’ve ordered some triple thick as my old jar was dried up. I just have to get the glitter paper or card stock for the ends. I already have strings of pearls in my stash that I can use I know I have a bunch of cards and I do have some rhinestones. I will have to get a few of those little paints that you used to accent it and the gold flakes ,but I’m excited to make this project! And I don’t think you could go wrong on the tassel as either one would’ve looked gorgeous. I think the red pulled all the red down from the top and really went well. Had you used the white it would’ve been gorgeous as well. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I absolutely enjoyed every minute. And cannot wait to make something similar ,of course ,using the cards I have.😁❤️
Thank you for sharing this great idea for a lovely ornament... It turned out just gorgeous. I may try my hand at this, too. I am an art teacher and so enjoyed your relaxing tone and clear explanation of how you used the various materials. I was hoping for the white tassel, but the red looked just beautiful. Merry Christmas.
Hi Happybird! Your ornament is so beautiful. I couldn’t decide which tassel to use. They both looked great. I don’t think there was a wrong answer. I love using diamond dotz. They’re just the right amount of bling and size. 🎄☃️
Might have been and commented before, but it is such a lovely piece and very well done.. love the peaceful tone of the video to,so calming and pleasant
Love, love, love this idea. I’ve saved the last 3 years of cards trying to figure out how to upcycle them! I think I’ll be busy this winter making some little gifts. I find your voice very soothing - like Bob Rossi. Thank you.
New to your channel loving it already I make other decorations out of my old cards never would have guessed it love your idea best thank you, thank you❤🎅☃️🙏 Merry Christmas!!!!!!

That's a great idea!

@@kervettaborum5984 so true. I’m already looking at this years cards and thinking, yea, I need to save that for sure. 😂😂😂
Beautifully done. Would loved to have seen this hanging on a tree
both r beautiful.but I like the white.
Your so patient and cleaver and talented nothing you do is odd, you have the middus touch,👍👏👏👏👏
CLEVER OK
Amen!
I think the red one. it looks better. I think this is Beautiful! thank you for sharing. GOD BLESS YOU.

Yes, this isn’t designated as just Christmas. I love using birds in my projects year round.
Thank you for your ideas for the whole year.
Red was the right choice. Beautiful work!
Beautiful! I just love your videos. Has anyone ever said that you are the "Bob Ross" in the crafting world? I love your calming voice!
I agree your voice and demeanor is very comforting. God bless you and yours. Your tutorial is very precise and love how you covered every step of the process.
I love her voice as well, but I’m trying to watch & Im falling asleep 😳
Very pretty! I was happy you used the red tassel. Good choice!😊
I agree that both the white and the red tassels look nice on that ornament. But, I like the red best because it goes so well with the red gem. Beautiful ornament! Thanks for your inspirational videos!
The red just pops! Beautiful.
I think the red pops! Very pretty. Thanks for another beautiful idea.
Beautiful! Maybe a little to say but I like the red tassel.
Very beautiful. Red gem, red tassel & red stickles, what pretty touches. Thank you.
I am loving the red, it accents the red on the birds
This is so incredibly beautiful! I agree both tassels look great, but I prefer the red, it makes the embellishment on the bow “pop”!
I think the red one looks the best. Glad you chose that one it's lovely

This ornament is really beautiful! What a gorgeous way to use Christmas cards. Thanks for showing us the inexpensive 'gold' foil. I had never seen that before but would like to try it.
Red is lovely!
What a great find on those cards! I will be checking out my thrift stores for cards too.
Red TDdel. Always go with your least color in the project. Brings that color to the eye.💖
I really enjoy watching you doing these crafts you do. They remind me of my dear grandma when she use to craft. These are the old school crafting that I grew up with. Thanks for the sweet memories. You are doing a great job in bringing beauty to your world. God bless you!
Beautiful showing that to us that ornament is beautiful and I do use the glue glitter glue all the time on Minecraft and I love it God bless
Thank you Lori, I will be using these as a memorial ornament for my Bird. I made him your Christmas ornaments every year, oh how he loved them
Beautiful…
I just wanted to tell you that I’m so sorry for your loss…our pets are our family, our babies…we mourn the loss no differently ~~ I love that you made him Christmas ornaments every year ! This ornament would be absolutely perfect!! God Bless 💕🙏💕
@@lmurphy1219 Have you actually lost a baby? And a pet? And mourned them the same?
My son ,named jerry, I called Bird. I have also mourned the death of pets.@@wb5408
I loved your instructions done slowly enough to follow. Easy project that looks so beautiful. Will definitely do some.
Lovely! 😊 You put so much work into this ormament!I was hoping for the red tassel! Love it!
Me too
“Red” was the perfect choice! 🎉❤
I love how you cut the pics out of the card. I have used that exact gold around the edge of a wood ornament. I also got several colors from Amazon. It is actually very inexpensive and comes out so beautiful. You add so much detail and embellishments that enhance the beauty of the ornament. Thanks for showing this! 🥰🎄
I love it! Glad you went with the red tassel!!
Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve had new cards saved to make little boxes but now I’ll have to make ornaments as well!!
I LIKE THE RED BEST! VERY PRETTY!
This is absolutely stunning
I liked the red tassel; the white one can always be used on an ornament that has no red! Merry Christmas!
We used to make these as kids but we used pearls off mother’s broken necklaces and secured them with seed pins. We also used washed meat trays for the base. Yours are so pretty! And I like your idea for the “bail”!
You mean the styrofoam meat came in? That's a great idea! That's so hard to recycle.
@@beebuzz959 Yes you wash it really well and cut the short sides off and they stack well for storing until you get ready to use them.😃
@@connierogers6853 I'm going to start doing that and more, thanks for the tip!
Red tassle to mirror the red jewel on top. Very beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful work as always!
I like the red it balances off with the birds, berries and red gemstone bow at the top of the ornament.
This is a beautiful ornament. Can't wait to make.
Thank you for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching and listening to you speak. You have such a soothing voice to listen to.
Stay Blessed, Safe and Healthy
