Hey, Jane here from Finding Fabulous!
I'm so excited to be sharing my Thrifty Holiday Gift Idea for Jamie's 10 Gifts for Under $10 event. Thank you Jamie for inviting me!

It never fails...every year I end up scrambling for a few last minute Christmas gifts! Well here's a great gift idea that will cost you just around a dollar. I know, I know, your thinking what gift could I possibly buy or even make for just over a dollar?

Well, how about this fun initial ornament!

This project all started with these great little gold frames from where else...the Dollar Tree! Yup, just a buck...love that!

...

Here I used push pins to hold the ribbon in place. Now you could just push the pins directly into the ribbon, but I chose instead to loop the ribbon around the pins with a little glue.
...
...

These letters I had leftover from a previous project in kid 2's room. All they needed was a little festive red paint to go with our Christmas theme. Kid 2 was not happy about covering up that pink, but loved her finished ornament!
...
...

Next I glued the letters onto some leftover wrapping paper. No need to go out and buy new Christmas scrap booking papers...I always use what's on hand! Besides I absolutely love this bright n' fresh green color!

I think kid 1's Gingerbread man (to the right) approves as well! These ornaments are so fun... perfect if you need a quick and inexpensive gift ASAP.
...
And they make great gift tags too!
Thanks Jamie for having me over today! Wow...10 gifts for under $10 - yup, that is FABULOUS!

And before you know it...finished! Yup, this project is super quick, and pretty cute for just over a buck each don't you think? Check out the Hubby's pupeteering hands below...too funny!

What a great idea, Jane! Love the way yours turned out and I like how you affixed the ribbon.
I have some random frames lying around. Wish I had thought of that! Adorable!

I just adore your Christmas inspired metamorphosis.
Be merry and bright!
Adorable and fun! I have tons of those chipboard letters hanging around my craft room....I think my kids would have a blast making some for their friends. :)
Oh...I think I'll make these as gift labels for our family. We each have a different first initial. After the holidays, we can hang them on the tree. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love your ornaments - I might have to try something similar!
Those are superb and super frugile. I love them.
I'm now following your journey
Thanks for linking to the party I just need you to add my button or url.
