My first time watching your videos. This is such a great idea. I always feel bad after Christmas and I throw out the lovely cards. Not anymore. I think I’ll write on the back of the ornament who gave me the card and the year. Thank you for sharing such a sweet idea. 😊

[@chlexiel.1022]

That’s a greet idea.

[@rebeccahaertner8245]

That’s such a unique idea. I want to see more, and try some of the things you’ve shown us. Love it!

[@melanielietz]

That's a great idea!

[@kervettaborum5984]

Janis I think the idea of recycling the cards is a great way of having the memory of the individual who sent you the card that they included you in their celebration.

[@disneygal200016]

@@kervettaborum5984 so true. I’m already looking at this years cards and thinking, yea, I need to save that for sure. 😂😂😂

[@elizabethmoorhouse2934]

Red was the right choice. Beautiful work!

[@ValeriePrelle]

Beautiful ornament! Thank for sharing snd your timy!

[@lindawood6404]

Beautiful! I just love your videos. Has anyone ever said that you are the "Bob Ross" in the crafting world? I love your calming voice!

[@yvonnecolton4483]

I agree your voice and demeanor is very comforting. God bless you and yours. Your tutorial is very precise and love how you covered every step of the process.

[@carolynhayes7950]

Red tassel ! Needs snow across the bottom! Gorgeous!

[@MrOnyxpony]

My first time here, too. The red tassel makes the berries pop so I believe it was the right decision. Ironically, we don't have Christmas, but I love this idea for birthday gifts for our grandkids. I thought it would be a great idea to use their own pictures, decorate them with their favorite colors, and add tassels, charms, or anything else that would show what they love. It could be a basketball, a dog, maybe a flute, their initials, or a school LOGO. How fun to have that hanging on their bedroom door, their wall, or possibly in their school locker. Just some additional ideas I had while watching you make this. Now, i can't wait to get started. We have 21 grandchildren (so far) so I have my work cut out for me. lol OH! I just might make a day of it and have them help me, too. What a great way to make new memories and enjoy each other's company. Thanks so very much for this!

[@heatherhughes2955]

Yes, this isn’t designated as just Christmas. I love using birds in my projects year round.

[@rhonda2929]

Red all the way. Turned out lovely.

[@Soulscenenik]

Beautifully done. Would loved to have seen this hanging on a tree

[@LadyAlyseGrandmaGamer]

I agree that both the white and the red tassels look nice on that ornament. But, I like the red best because it goes so well with the red gem. Beautiful ornament! Thanks for your inspirational videos!

[@IrishAnnie]

The red just pops! Beautiful.

[@kathleenschneider92]

I think the red pops! Very pretty. Thanks for another beautiful idea.

[@karenh2890]

That is gorgeous! The white and red tassels were equally beautiful on the ornament. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@jmarcos1008]

Very beautiful. Red gem, red tassel & red stickles, what pretty touches. Thank you.

[@jeannewagner8133]

So many beautiful cards over the years, yes store bought... now gone... This would be a lovely way to remember a loved one who is no longer here using a card they gave you.

What a great find on those cards! I will be checking out my thrift stores for cards too.

[@SherryNerreau]

This ornament is really beautiful! What a gorgeous way to use Christmas cards. Thanks for showing us the inexpensive 'gold' foil. I had never seen that before but would like to try it.

[@martha-annewald854]

The ornament is beautiful. The red tassel is the right choice ! Now I want to try this myself.

[@dianagoemann984]

I absolutely LOVE this!! You came to my rescue! I have a similar project in mind, but couldn't think how to glam it up and still honor the memory it's meant for. This is perfect. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

[@barbaraness4507]

1:15 Ooo Chickadees! I love Thomas Kinkade!!

[@EllTeeDee]

I have always enjoyed watching Happy Bird’s tutorials. Lori’s voice is soothing and her content is easy and fun!

[@lorrdread]

I could picture this ornament hanging on a window with a snowy background. I think the white tassel would be a great addition. Nicely done! The gold foil gives it some elegance.

[@pamelacunningham3904]

So beautiful! Thanks so much for this tutorial! These are perfect for small Christmas gifts. And, the amount of time and love in making each one will make them a treasured gift for years to come!🌲

[@lynnjames5039]

I like the white tassel. Very beautiful ornament.

[@claradockery1072]

I like the red it balances off with the birds, berries and red gemstone bow at the top of the ornament. This is a beautiful ornament. Can't wait to make. Thank you for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching and listening to you speak. You have such a soothing voice to listen to. Stay Blessed, Safe and Healthy From Florida 🇺🇸

[@uteme]

Love, love, LOVE the Art Glitter glue - I use it ALL THE TIME! ♡

[@judiemjacobson4613]

I think the red one looks the best. Glad you chose that one it's lovely

[@user-kd4hr6ly1s]

Love your attention to details. Very inspired. I would go with no tassel or a string tassel. beautiful!

[@gayleneelaban1161]

This is so incredibly beautiful! I agree both tassels look great, but I prefer the red, it makes the embellishment on the bow “pop”!

[@raedarden9830]

Red tassle to mirror the red jewel on top. Very beautiful!

[@cynthiat6505]

You are the Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers, vocally, of artists and are so calming. Your creations are lovely! Thank you!

[@pattiemoss2287]

I had bought a bag of the wooden pieces, some round and some oval and never could figure out how to make them into a nice ornament! Your ornament is so beautiful and your ideas the best! I love it! Hope your Christmas is as beautiful as your ornament!

[@kassandralevingston9874]

How beautiful. Your explanations are spot on without being drawn out. And your voice is so soothing, I could listen to you all day. 😊

[@kathleenlyon9973]

I really enjoy watching you doing these crafts you do. They remind me of my dear grandma when she use to craft. These are the old school crafting that I grew up with. Thanks for the sweet memories. You are doing a great job in bringing beauty to your world. God bless you!

[@rosilatrailera]

Love listening to your calming voice...and we loved the ornament!

[@sandrachapmon6685]

[@angelinalozada189]

Beautiful ornament as all your creations are. Yes, absolutely Red was the right choice for the tassel. It just finished it off perfectly.

[@cynthiabourgeois5254]

I like the red tassel best. Really stands out with the birds.

[@tonik1341]

Absolutely beautiful... That would be an awesome Christmas gift!!

[@Sharie609]

Love, love, love this idea. I’ve saved the last 3 years of cards trying to figure out how to upcycle them! I think I’ll be busy this winter making some little gifts. I find your voice very soothing - like Bob Rossi. Thank you.

[@hollydawsonjames1999]

beautiful job, I love the tassel and think you made a great choose of color red, it balances the ornament. I can't wait to try my hand at it

[@rosemarychandler2887]

First time watching and thrilled I came across your channel. I'm a "bird-aholic" and love Christmas, so I'll be on the lookout for cards in which I can make ornaments. I'll go through my previous cards, as I save them year-to-year, and see what I can start on for next Christmas.

[@johnlunnun9769]

Very nice, and the red tassel was the correct choice, a nice balance with the red gem on the bow! Well done!

[@diane2941]

Your ornament turned out beautiful. Might be just the thing to do on this cold, dreary day. Thank you.

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

This is incredible! Love all the meticulous detail!

[@barbleigh5571]

I was rooting for the red tassel. Just a beautiful ornament!🥰

[@debbiemurphy170]

Gorgeous ornament. Thanks for sharing.

[@sharonr1251]

I like the white tassel. Your work is beautiful.

[@juststeph6701]

Absolutely beautiful work as always!

[@sewforlife5728]

That was really pretty. Not to much, it was just perfect and putting the Merry Christmas on the back really set it off.

[@diannedeloose5173]

Very vintage and very elegant!

[@zerozilchnada5373]

Gorgeous ornament. Tfs & take care 🌺

[@Elyria11]

Thank you - this is a really lovely and economical ornament and a great way to reuse Christmas cards.

[@ghislainemichaud7512]

You are AMAZING!!!!! I can't stop watching your projects!!! Thank you

[@dreed5530]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Like the red tassel best. It brings out the other reds in the project.

[@CreatingWithLoveCrafting]

I'm glad you decided to use the red tassel, It balanced the beautiful ornament out. As you look at it you see three red areas where your eye can be drawn to and then the other colors come in and oh the beauty,,,breath taking. The white seemed to wash it out. Beautiful Just gorgeous. I am loving your tutorials ands you are so extremely talented. God bless my friend.

[@kimveazey9036]

I love the bird ornament. So pretty!!

[@franberman8709]

Great idea! I like the red tassel!

[@pattykirkland9738]

The ornament is absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@theresaharrison2224]

Such a lovely use of old cards! (I would not add a tassel, though)

[@Elysian777]

I enjoy listening to your craft videos so much that I watch them all the way through instead of sort of skipping like I do some others. Very relaxing and enjoyable to watch you make lovely things. And I use old makeup brushes too! They are perfect for some things.

[@charlottesayles]

The Dollar tree plus has gold, silver and bronze flakes for 3.00 and they’re jars are double the size of HL. Beautiful ornament!😊

[@PaperToPetals]

Soooo pretty! I love watching you create! You're always an inspiration. Happy crafting!

[@graceng5525]

This is so pretty and clever to reuse Christmas cards.

[@SLverbs-xe9bc]

Such a beautiful ornament! Thank you for posting
