How To Make Horse Christmas Tree Ornaments

Yesterday I was watching a video of a craft show and the hostess was making
ornaments. This would be so cool for our horses. She was doing them in sepia
(antique photos of grandma) or color of current things.

Here's what you do. Buy clear glass ball ornaments with removable top
hangers. Buy acetate (clear) that runs thru your printer. It needs to have
one rough side to it. Take a photo in your computer and copy it onto the
rough side of the acetate. You want the photo to fit on a 4" round circle.
How you test for size is to use a large ornament, cut a 4" circle in a piece
of paper. Set the ornament in the hole and if it JUST FITS, you know it's
the right size circle for the ornament.

Okay, After you have the photo on acetate cut out, roll/curl it and slide it
INTO the ornament. Use a knitting needle to position the photo upright
inside the ornament. Put the top back on, glue it in place if you decide to
put any glitter inside the ornament.

You can leave it as is, or you can drizzle glitter paint on the top of the
ornament like snow would look on a fence post, or add greenery or bow.
Her samples looked fabulous: scenery, church stained glass window, family
groups, etc.

Thought this might appeal to some of you crafters. Just think how great your
horses would look, or you could do this as a gift for another horse owner.

Sherry Jarvis, with her superb communication skills honed from years of elementary school teaching, shines when it comes to helping the rider understand the ins and outs of riding and training your horse. Her new book will be on the shelf Spring 2009.

"Sherry has a burning desire to share everything that has been made available to her with others, and to help people realize their dream with their horses in a natural way. When the natural horsemanship clinics started becoming popular in the 90’s Sherry discovered the holes in her foundation that had hindered her from taking her raw talent into a harmonious art form.

This newfound knowledge inspired her with a new determination and dedication to share the importance of a natural foundation, which will develop a relationship with your horse that will change your life. Sherry instructs students and shares her passion for mental, physical and emotional fitness for horsemen and their horses."
