Clear Christmas Ornaments with Transparent Crafter's Companion Stamped Images & Feathers

For over a decade I have seen multiple ornaments with images inside that were printed on clear sheets.  After finding inexpensive clear plastic ornaments (2 for $1 at the Dollar Tree) I had to give it a try.  I stamped some #CraftersCompanion  images onto the transparency, using a permanent black ink (StazOn Jet Black) and allowed a few minutes to dry. Cutting a circle around the image, I just estimated the size of the interior of the ornament. I'm sure more precise crafters would measure (which I would advise). I left a little tab at the top so when I rolled the circle up, dropped it into the ornament, that I could grasp the tag and pull it out to cut in any needed adjustments.  Added some thin feathers behind the image, attached the top with hot glue and decorated with beads, ribbons and more feathers.  I just love how this quick project turned out and it was cheap enough that you can make multiples for the tree or use to decorate gifts.
