In reply to Lin. Glad you found me via Heather's blog, The Sewing Loft! What a fabulous idea to take a bunch of dated ornaments like you describe and making a set out of them! I'm going to be on the hunt now for discarded ornaments when I'm out thrifting... never too early to get ready for next Christmas! Thanks for the idea, Lin!

I’m a little late finding this for this season but at least I’m in good time for 2014!! I made my way here via The Sewing Loft who also participated in No Ugly Ornaments.
People keep giving me these dated ornaments or ones with the name of an organization or company on them and I never put them on the tree. I also haven’t gotten rid of them because some are pretty shapes. This is perfect since it not only obliterates the unwanted writing, it also will tie them all together as a set. And I have time to get this done for Christmas!!

In reply to Paula@SweetPea. You're welcome Paula! I think I'm going to be doing the same thing. (In fact, I already picked a few of our other ornaments out that just might need a makeover. Shhh....)

I see ornaments frequently in thrift shops that are pretty but out of date. Now I know that I need to buy them and give them a makeover. Thanks for the great tips!
