DIY Tinsel Ornaments

I had a couple of holiday DIY projects I wanted to finish this year.  Since it usually gets crazier as the holidays get closer, I decided to start early this year.  Last winter at work, we made holiday ornaments (because sometimes we have craft time at work, you don't?) using clear bulbs.  I filled mine with tinsel and really liked the way it turned out.  So, using extreme foresight, when my mom took us to Target not once but two times the day after Christmas, I bought a couple packages of clear glass ornaments on clearance.  I added in some tinsel from Michael's and was good to go.

This was surprisingly time consuming to do, but all I did was take the tops off of the ornaments, stuff some tinsel inside, and put the tops back on.  

I really like the way the ornaments turned out, but I'm not sure about their current placement - right now they're in some gold wire bowls on top of our media center, but they're kind of hard to see - I took the above photo holding my camera over my head.  Plus it's bothering me a little that the two golds don't match.  I'm thinking that once we get our tree (we're cutting down our own this year!) I can put the ornaments on it, and fill the bowls with something a little more colorful.

I hope you have a great weekend!!  I have another really busy weekend coming up, but I'm hoping to squeeze in another project at some point.  Do you have any holiday DIYs planned?
