It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...Ornaments!

Decorating the Christmas tree is a time-honored tradition much-loved by countless families across America and throughout the world. It is a wonderful experience to share with the entire family and brightens up houses for the entire month of December. Over the years we’ve heard from many of you who wanted to make Christmas ornaments but were stumped as to how to achieve a useable, but pretty, end product. Ever aspiring to offer our customers innovative solutions, the wonderfully creative staff here at ABM has designed 2.25” and 3” Christmas Ornament Sets. These sets include all the components needed to make a beautiful, double-sided ornament; you need only provide the graphic. And we’ve got you covered there, too – we offer several professionally designed Christmas and winter themed collages on the ABM Design Marketplace.     How do you make button ornaments? Let’s discuss the details: Using the components provided in the ABM Christmas Ornament Set you will make two buttons.       Next you will need to punch a hole in the top of each button (for threading the ribbon). Need a metal hole puncher? Our Metal Craft Punch is perfect for punching holes in buttons! It comes with a variety of punch sizes so you can choose how large or small a hole to make.     Next, place a ceramic magnet on the back of one button and, lining up the holes, place the second button on back of the first.     You are now ready for the finishing touch – a pretty ribbon for hanging your two sided ornament on the tree. Knowing just how creative and talented our button makers are, I bet you can even find a way to incorporate one of our flashing LED units for a truly spectacular Christmas ornament. Send us pictures of your designs and we’ll post them in our Customer Spotlight! By Brighid Brown, Director of Blogging and All Things Cool at ABM
