Oh my lands, I’m tired! I’m having some of my oldest and dearest friends over for lunch tomorrow, and I endeavored to do almost every bit of my cooking today. In addition to this, I also did my annual Christmas baking of cookies and candy to give as gifts. This is what I made today:

I call these handmade Christmas ornaments marbelized for lack of a better descriptive term, although the term tie-dyed does also come to mind. Although using the traditional Christmas colors is certainly a possibility, you may tailor this craft project to fit your own personal taste or the taste of whomever you are making these ornaments for.
