How To: Vintage Knifecicle Christmas Ornaments

Related: DIY: Personalized Photo Christmas Ornaments
Supplies:
- Vintage butter knives (I scored several at a thrift store for $1.00 a bundle)
- Modge Podge
- Foam brush
- Glitter (silver, gold or a mixture of both for a champagne look)
- Polyurethane spray
- Thin ribbon to tie ornaments
- Paper plates (for glitter and to rest knives on while they dry)
Directions:
- Drill holes through the knife handles.
- Coat the blade of the knife with Modge Podge using your foam brush.
- Sprinkle glitter on blade over a paper plate. This way, you can catch the excess glitter and reuse it.
- Rest the knife on a paper plate and allow time for it to dry thoroughly.
- Spray the knives with polyurethane to seal the glitter.
- Tie ribbon through the drilled hole and hang on your tree.
Who knew knives hanging on a tree could be so cute? I love the unexpected twist and personal touch it adds to the tree.
