    Hot Glue Icicle Ornaments

    December 15, 2011 |

    image

    Inspired by the look of these vintage icicles that were on my parents’ tree (and now ours), I wanted to make a ton of icicles for our tree!

    image

    To make the icicles, take an ornament hook, straighten it out, make a little loop, and hang them on some string

    Take your hot glue gun and glue away, letting the glue drip as it wants to to create more natural looking icicles. After they dry, take a look around and add more drips of glue as you need them.

    If your icicles try to stick together, just bring your hot glue gun tip to where they are touching, and they should separate.

    sorry for the blurry/grainy pics – these were taken last year. Yeah, I wasn’t very good, LOL

    Here’s the finished product
