10 Easy Pieces: Handmade Holiday Ornaments - Remodelista
When I was little, it seemed that each ornament held a story, whether it was the paper-cut animals that my mother made as a recent RISD graduate, or the pale orbs of the vintage lights inherited from my father’s mother, or Grandma Sylvia’s felt baker man from Norway.
Today I can still tell you the tale behind each of my ornaments, from the Guatemalan worry santas I bought during my first Christmas after college to the glitter rabbit I purchased last month at ABC Carpet and Home while in New York for the Remodelista book launch.
From Germany, the Snug Trio, a set of geometric wooden pendants that you assemble; €16.90 .
One of my all-time favorite ornaments is a laser-cut snowflake made by Quite Alright of Colorado that we featured in our 2011 Holiday Ornament Roundup.
Made by Etsy seller Eljuks in Finland, this Set of 6 Hand-Crocheted Cotton Snowflakes are as delicate and individual as the real thing; $16.
