DIY Black and White Ornaments

The kitchen remodel is done, so now I can start turning all my focus onto CHRISTMAS!!! I won’t start fully decorating for a bit, but I have started crafting a few things. I make one new set of handmade ornaments every year and this year I made some DIY Black and White Ornaments with a modern grid pattern. They took no time at all and only 3 supplies!

Let them dry and tie a little ribbon around the top. I opted for a pop of emerald but a deep red, eggplant or even black would look great!

Modern Grid Ornaments

Minimalistic approach to the holidays! Add a bowl of glass ornaments to the table for a small touch of Christmas.

I placed them in the big bowl in our kitchen for a subtle touch of Christmas. Oh and fair warning, you are probably going to get so tired of this space because I just can’t stop doing shoots in here!

I mixed the patterned ornaments with a few other larger ones and some wood beaded garland.

    Love the ornaments, and mixed with the black and dark green it’s so modern looking. Love your wood bowl too. (Do you have a link?)

    Love Love Love the ornaments. The black ornaments and dark green ribbon add such a nice modern touch!!
    Placing them in your wooden bowl adds that bit of rustic element. (Do you have a link for the bowl?)

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.

This outdoor mirror is absolutely stunning and very high quality. It would work well indoors too. I just love how it reflects the rest of the courtyard and you can see every angle in it.
