Do-It-Yourself Ornament Giveaway!

We have something very special this week that we thought we would try with our lovely, loyal customers.  Today, we started a promo to giveaway special DIY ornaments using select Lemax pieces.  We thought it would be fun to give our customers a project and an idea of what you can do with some Lemax products.  Now let us show you what the kit comes with and how to put it together.

The kit comes with a plastic bauble with a little window to put the pieces into and a plastic baggy of craft snow.  The Lemax items included are 1 tree from Bristle Tree, Set of 3 and 1 gnome from Christmas Garden Gnomes, Set of 3. The gnome is random, so not everyone will get the same gnome and it all comes in a box that looks like this:

The kits are fairly straightforward.  Follow these simple instructions to assemble the kit into a beautiful little ornament:

1.  Place the tree in the bauble as desired.

2.  Remove as much "snow" as you desire from the bag.

3.  Place the "snow" in the bottom of the bauble around the tree.

4.  Place the little gnome in the bauble as desired. 

The finished product should look like the picture below

Unfortunately, due to complications with customs, we aren't able to include glue of any kind with the kit.  This means that the kit can be assembled each Christmas and has the potential to become a new Lemax tradition.

One of the best parts about this kit is the amount of customization that is possible.  There are so many options for how to make the ornament yours.  In the example below, we put some liquid glue around the inside and sprinkled some glitter on it before placing the inner components.  We thought it made the window a little special.

We've also created a new Pinterest board on our Pinterest account with a bunch of DIY ornament ideas.  Our Pinterest account is linked here and we have tons of great decorating ideas there as well.

And, as always, happy village building ;)
