Ornaments are one of the most fun parts of decorating your Christmas tree. Whether you have an artificial or real one, fill it with ornaments that reflect your family’s traditions and personal style. This collection of creative homemade ornament ideas will help you add a unique touch to your festive decor this year.
Make an easy, no-fuss centerpiece using a collection of ornaments tucked into a bowl, tin can, wooden box or other decorative container. Mix and match colors, shapes and sizes for a look that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
If you’re a fan of the rustic look, try wood slice ornaments that feature tiny antlers. You can use a wood burning tool purchased at most craft stores to write a holiday message, your monogram or a playful pattern on each. Then finish the ornament with a ribbon loop for hanging. For an even simpler version of this DIY ornament, cut two leaf shapes from cardstock or watercolor paper and glitter the outward-facing sides. Glue them together and string a ribbon loop through the top to hang. Get the complete instructions for this ornament at Northstory.
Repurpose a clear glass ball ornament and a strip of colorful paper for this charming DIY ornament. Mark off areas you don’t want to paint with masking tape, then use a brush to apply a simple striped effect. Toss in a little glitter while the paint is still wet for extra sparkle.
Turn a basic ball ornament into a cute, customized decoration for the tree with this clever idea from Homey Oh My. Simply insert sparkly gold pipe cleaners (available at most crafts stores) inside the ornament and flex and twist them to fit. This is also a great way to repurpose leftover silver-and-gold costume jewelry you might have.
