12 Days of Christmas Ornaments-Folded Fowls!
On the ninth day of Christmas, I put on my tree...
nine paper fakers,
eight snowman snowglobes,
seven swirls of glitter,
six modest mice,
GOOOOOOLD, PURPLE RED GREEN
four cupcake cuties
three sparkly sparrows
two tiny martinis
and an underwater amigurumi!
(We fought it for as long as we could...but as soon as Thanksgiving is over, it is officially C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S T-I-M-E here at The Afternoon! And to help you deck your halls and trim your tree, we are bringing you 12 days of posts about our wide variety of Christmas ornaments, everything from adorable to elegant to funky to modern.)These ceramic ornaments from 180Degrees that look like folded origami characters were such a hit last year and this year they are back with even more adorable designs! I chose the cardinal to showcase today because I find them to just be so friendly and festive looking--but be sure to come in and check out all the varieties we have in stock, including doves, Santa's, and even ORIGAMI NUNS! (why yes, they are every bit as amazing as they sound!)
If you can't get enough of the "permanent origami" for the holidays, or if your tree is just too full, be sure to check out the Origami Nativity and the Origami Santa and his Sleigh...which have to be seen for their coolness to be believed!
Coming up tomorrow--oh the snowmanity!
