How Do You Make Carousel Horse Ornaments?
Rather than spend a fortune and long days at a ceramics studio to produce 3-D carousel horse ornaments, opt for a simpler, but no less gorgeous, methodology that replicates the art of decoupage. You’ll need a little patience, a few supplies and the desire to make signature carousel horse ornaments that will so delight you that you’ll be reluctant to pack them away at the end of the holidays.

Buy the ones with hanging stems attached. Learn a bit about the art of decoupage (see link) so you understand the methodology you’ll use to make your carousel horse ornaments.

Upload the image(s) to your computer. Open your page layo
