I found these bright, shiny Christmas ornaments at Dollar General for just $1 a pack, and I couldn’t wait to turn them into cozy vintage pieces! I got 21 ornaments for $13, and I’m showing you how I made over every one of them using paint, Rub ‘n Buff, cinnamon, Mod Podge, crackle paint, ribbon and twine. Most of these are quick, easy projects you can do in an afternoon. And yes, one of them didn’t turn out the way I planned, so stick around and tell me what you think!
