Christmas Ornaments. Yep....Early....LOL
« on: June 11, 2012, 10:28:09 am »
Ran across these Fancy ornaments and decided to give um a try.  There is over a dozen different shapes.  This is just 5 so far.  All are a challenge, but Fun.
They are not finished as of this picture.  Whats some ideas about finishing them?  Am cutting 4 up out of 1/8" BB.  Still do the craft fairs, so whats some ideas as to how much they could be worth?  Of course pros n cons are welcome.

Nicely cut Danny.  I need to start on them very soon myself as I have several shows before Christmas time coming up.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

Very nice Danny! I have started cutting for Christmas, and have about 40 ornaments cut so far. Like you, have no idea how to price them. Probably will be selling in local crafts fairs around here. (NE Texas)

Beautiful cutting Danny! Here's an idea about finishing. Use some different colors of spray paint, then apply spray glitter. You can probably charge around $8 to $12 each. People like a deal so you can do something like $10 each or two for $18. And make sure you have signage of the deals. It works for me!
Try using some hardwoods too. Maple, Chery and Walnut all look great for ornaments.
