Vintage Jello Mold Ornament

November 19, 2014 By Vidya 11 Comments

How are we doing? Anyone in the mood for Jello?

Vintage Jello Mold Ornament

Err….I mean vintage Jello mold ornaments?

Can you believe these pretty molds were a thrift score find? 49 cents each! There were 3 of them and for whatever reason I decided to bring home only 2!!! I really have no idea why I scrimped on that. I just picked the 2 prettiest ones.  🙁 Why oh why did I not get the full set of 3? Too late to cry over split milk now……

So how to do you turn these guys into ornaments? Super duper simple! I know, I use that word a lot around here but this one is a no brainier. Really. All you need is ribbon, baker’s twine, and hot glue.

Make a loop with the baker’s twine and hot glue the knot to the top of the mold (back side).

On the front hot glue a ribbon bow to hide where you just hot glued the knot. That is all! Ok, wait won’t be fair if I don’t reveal a blogger fail moment. Actually an almost blogger fail moment. My original plan was to drill a small a hole in the mold and string the loop through that. After giving it a bit more thought realized that it would be a bad idea, a pretty bad one at that. Drilling a hole in the mold would basically render it useless for anything in the future. Note, I mentioned anything not just Jello making. 😉 I already did another project with them. You know me, always trying to get the most bang for my buck. I’m really glad that I decided to leave the molds alone and to go with the hot glue. Wish I had so many of them to decorate my entire tree with!

    Don’t you mean bang for your 49 cents?!? What a steal (and I feel you with that missing third mold that you should have scooped up) and what a great idea! And if we had some more time, I would share my Jello mold story with you here …

    But I have some pinning to do (of your amazing Jello mold ornament!) and ornament posts to visit!

    🙂 Linda

Love this outdoor space with a beautiful red and blue outdoor decor with a flamingo pillow, metal tray side table, and loads of green plants

Finally the long overdue post, our new screened in porch reveal. This space has undoubtedly become our favorite room in the house now. To tell you the truth, I was against the idea of ripping apart our good size deck and replacing it with a screened in porch but B insisted that this was the…
