He makes these for many
Tom's Christmas Ornaments
by Teri7
This is a picture of an ornament that my husband, Tom, makes and gives to others. He learned to do this from his grandmother. In my eyes these ornaments are so beautiful for Christmas tree decoration.
He has made them as long as we have been married which will be thirty years on Valentines day. I can't go into detail explaining them, but he can. If anyone wants to know how to make them let me know and I will write the instructions down. He has tried and tried to teach me how, but as of this day I can't do them.
It's amazing since I can do many things, but not make these pretty decorations. I remember when I used to have to go to the Emergency Room he would be sitting there making these ornaments. Needless to say, many of the nurses; male and female, would approach him to see what he was doing. I know he has given out hundreds of these. They can be made from so many things. I saw him cut some of the circles out of left over wrapping paper, Wendy's sacks, McDonalds sacks and other types of papers. He also used cigarette paper, even though neither of us smoke. They made pretty shinny decorations.
We have been so busy lately baby sitting Greyson he doesn't have much time to do them, but still works on them occasionally. He has always made some for our my friends in different places in the states. His mother also makes these.
Just wanted you to see how talented my husband is. He can do so many more things, but to me this is very interesting.
Have a blessed day to all.

He can make these in all colors to go on any type of tree. No, I am not trying to sell these as that is not what this is all about. As of this day he has never sold one, but always gave them away.
