I have a fun ornament I made using the clear favor circles from Taylored Expressions. I’m here to show you that you can use them for more than just inserting candy. I got 10 for $5, so I can make more! I used my Wings of Joy set to display inside the clear ornament.
What I did first was cut all around the plastic until I had a shape 
to resemble an ornament. Then, I cut my image with a circle nestability and it fit perfectly inside. Then, colored it in and was ready to assemble it!
Then, I put another circle of pattern paper from Jolly by Golly so it was decorative on the back and I signed it. I didn’t have to use any tape because the circles fit snuggly once the 2 halves were joined. But before I did that, I added some clear microbeads so it became a shaker ornament! Lastly, I taped the outside edges with sticky tape and covered it with decorative ribbon around and put a loop with silver cord and tied a bow on it. Another gift down---

WAY too cute, Donna!
I am a little partial with anything that has the word "JOY" on it! (it is my youngest's name)
Beautifully done!
This is a wonderful idea! I like that you've found a way to use these for more than just candy. Super job!
Donna - I wish I could trust myself to cut as well as you - I'd probably end up with one useable ornament out of the possible 5-10 if I tried this...my cutting skills are next to 0. Maybe next year they will come out with an ornament shape. Great idea...
Beautiful job on this!
Your ornament is sooo pretty, Donna!! How exciting about going to CHA!! I wish I were going too...but it's too difficult at this time. Maybe someday. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time!!
You are so clever!! Love it!!!!
Donna this is too cute! What a fabulous gift and it is beautiful! The image/sentiment is perfect and is also the perfect fit for the ornament. Love the shaker beads and ribbon edge! Great job and thanks for the instructions!
