Tinsel Ornament DIY

I've been so inspired by the subtle Christmas decor ideas floating around the web right now, hence my silver and gold colour palette for my home. I saw this DIY idea posted on Made By Girl and thought I'd try my own version, with tinsel instead of sequins. It took no time to make, and I love the result. The ornaments are especially pretty at night! You could also pile them into a tray or bowl as a center piece. 

I simply took the tops off of the glass ornaments (found at Michael's) filled them with a small handful of tinsel, replaced the lid and tied on some ribbon!
