Make your own Vintage Ornaments with Ornament Project Kits.

Decorating your home can be a fun family tradition to be looked forward to all year. Preparing for the holidays can involve everyone in the household with preparations and decoration projects for months in advance.

The website name 32 Degrees North was chosen by the owners as the name because that is the latitude of San Diego County (where their family has lived since 1881). Amanda Rigney said that they wanted a name that reflects who they are and where they come from but also reflects well on what they make. She says that creating has always been something they’ve done. Every year her family made ornaments and decorations for themselves, and they decided in 2006 to expand on their collection and make it available to others who love Christmas and heirloom quality pieces made in small quantities.

Hand-crafted with meticulous attention to detail, 32 Degrees North ornaments are one-of-a-kind and many of the ornaments are limited editions, made in very small quantities. There are sets of ornaments available which are presented in a very nice wooden keepsake box for gift giving and protecting the fragile ornaments. The ornament sets are lovely and would please collectors and gift recipients any time of year.

By using vintage and authentic elements, the designers are able to create vintage-inspired ornaments in the noble tradition of Victorian craftsmen. From design to construction to finishing, they spend hours carefully detailing each piece with carefully chosen elements to capture the charm and elegance of traditional ornaments and decorations. 32 Degrees North’s website at vintage-ornaments.com has become well known to Victorian ornaments collectors and their vintage ornaments have appeared in the Victorian Homes magazine, a testimony of how committed the designers are to creating ornaments in the authentic Victorian style

For those who want to try their hand at creating their own vintage ornaments, you can purchase a select sampling of unique supplies, like scraps, Dresden trims and foils, spun glass, fancy papers, as well as ready-to-make project kits. The project kits have everything that you need to create your own vintage ornaments and decorations in one kit. With the easy to follow instructions, you will be able to design bottle brush trees, vintage inspired ornaments, tree toppers and more. You may find that making ornaments together is such a fun family project, that you will want to create ornaments for other holidays besides Christmas.

Amanda and her family are proud to showcase their collection of handmade ornaments and decorations and hope that the vintage ornaments will find a place in your family’s celebrations and traditions to be enjoyed for many years to come.
