Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree…

Task #6 Creating Christmas Ball Ornaments

Welcome to Vanesza’s Craft Corner! I dubbed today Ornament Making Day which basically means quality time with glitter, glue, and popcorn.  Harmless enough right??? That would be a NEGATIVE. 

Why is it that the events that pose to be seemingly juvenile tend to be the ones that make for a slightly dangerous endeavor?  Let me just begin by saying that the fire extinguisher I had ready and waiting during my cooking adventure yesterday would have served a more useful purpose today.

It started this morning when I searched “Make Your Own Christmas Ornaments”.  I found this neat idea which seemed simple enough.  All I had to do was buy glass ornaments, fill them with popcorn, microwave, and VOILA: Instant cool looking ornaments to glam up the tree!

After purchasing my needed materials I headed home and began right away.  My downfall occurred when I neglected the part which stated that I was to keep watch of it.  I learned why fairly quickly.  Smoke and the Smell of burnt popcorn made its way through the kitchen.  I opened all the windows and got in an extra workout when shooing away the smoke.  My next attempts didn’t end as catastrophically.  I had a few slightly darken kernels, but not any nearly as bad as the first.

I am still spraying the Febreze periodically and a new Glade plug-in takes its new home in my kitchen outlet.  It wasn’t quite smooth sailing, but despite some rough waves, task #6 is finished!
