I'm definitely going to be making these! Thanks for the link! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-405029 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:20:13 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 405029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Yup. I got three sizes and started with the bigger ones around the sides of the form, and then kind of just started layering them the best I could. There's not much to it, but it was time-consuming just figuring out where to place each one and all that. Here's a tutorial I followed:</p> <p><a href="http://matt-and-becky.blogspot.com/2009/12/12-days-of-christmas-crafts-day-5.html" rel="nofollow">http://matt-and-becky.blogspot.com/2009/12/12-days-of-christmas-crafts-day-5.html</a></p> <p>@Crumbs: Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-405017 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:09:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 405017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: how do you make those? Do you just hot glue the ornaments to like a foam circle thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-405014 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:07:11 +0000 SugarplumsMom 405014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: wow! That looks great!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-405008 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:56:20 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 405008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Aw, thanks. It was pretty easy if you're willing to burn your fingers with hot glue a couple times ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-405004 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:45:08 +0000 lawbee11 405004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a Marshalls Home Goods near you?? I got a box of 70 shatterproof ornaments there yesterday for $25! I haven't actually dropped any yet, but they did take quite the tumble in the back of my car on the way home and they are fine--none broke or cracked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-405000 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:40:29 +0000 chopsuey 405000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: dang! so pretty! you could totally make and sell them! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-404979 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:27:41 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 404979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made one of those ornament wreaths from Pinterest with the shatter-proof ones. You can't tell they're not glass, and I dropped plenty of them with no ill effects. </p> [attach=1858/12/mdp7e6.600x448.IMG_1469.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-404724 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:26:30 +0000 BelugaBean 404724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of them have been shatterproof but we got some from Walmart a few years ago that didn't hold up. Falling off the tree they didn't break but our cat discovered that they would break if he slammed them against the wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-404716 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:21:58 +0000 Andrea 404716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a bunch from Crate and Barrel. I put all of the lighter, less fragile ornaments towards the bottom. DD doesn't touch the tree anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-404641 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 09:06:46 +0000 MrsTiz 404641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO but I always get shatter proof just because they are so much easier to store, and decorate with knowing they won't break. Hobby Lobby has a bunch of them! Maybe just do them down low for LO unless you need all new ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shatterfree-ornaments#post-404629 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 09:01:55 +0000 chopsuey 404629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kinda wanna get a tree.. My lo loves balls and I'm sure she'd love decorating a tree with us.</p> <p>I saw some shatter free Christmas balls on target.com</p> <p>Do they really not shatter? Where did you get your ornaments? </p>
