These are quick and easy. I am showing them on an outdoor tree because doing my 12 Days of Christmas means I don't have my Christmas tree up yet, but also I really like them outdoors. Not sure if they would survive a Montana winter, but maybe? They certainly would in a warmer and might bring a little glittery "ice" to some of you who don't get it. I started with some Modge Podge and Martha glitter.
I brushed the Modge Podge onto the blade of old silver plated knives.
I drilled holes through the top and added a sheer ribbon.
I cut the ribbon narrow on one side to get the ribbon through the hole.
I think knifecicles would be beautiful on a typical tree with the lights reflecting off of the silver and glitter or on a bare branch tree like I show.
Now it is your turn to link up your Christmas ideas. This linky party
will remain open through Christmas. I will be sharing it every day of
my 12 Days of Christmas. There will be no 12 days of Christmas posts on
Sundays or Wednesdays, I will share my regular Sunday Verses and linky
party on those days. Please read the linky party rules, thanks!
