Throw a Ways Saved

Here is my hand at upcycling vintage satin ball ornaments that could have easily been thrown away.  I cut off all ragged satin parts and dug into my vintage stash of sequins,ribbons,acrylics and glass beads to redo the sad looking throw a ways. 

My daughter from http://labonnefemme1.blogspot.com/. inspired me to  think vintage Christmas.  Still scowering yard sales and thrift stores for more.   Don't you just love the sparkle of these saved beauties?
