Twig tree

Just thought I would hang some hand made paper ornaments on my twig tree in the corner of my living room...it looked so plain and sad before. The say NOEL and JOY.

feather-made

Just when I thought that my tree was done, I spotted some whimsical feather ornaments, my heart was filled with joy, I felt so light and airy... but then I saw that each ornament cost $3.95, I know this is not super pricey, but I wasn't wanting to spend more money on my already almost finished tree. So my DIY sense kicked in ( I wonder if this is how spiderman felt most of the time? ) and I headed to my local craft store for foam balls, a pack of feathers and some ribbon. The result is my very own hand made ornaments, I just love them! What do you all think, should I have just bought them instead?
