DIY Ornament Roundup
One of my favorite things to craft around Christmas time is ornaments! I’m kind of obsessed with them, which is why we have more that our tree can ever actually hold! I just think they make sweet gifts, and they look super-cute tied onto packages too! Here’s a roundup of some of my “honestly doable” favorites that you can create…quick, cheap, and easy like always!
These adorable little snowmen that I made with my friend Kelly are the single most viewed craft on my entire blog! They’re super simple to make, all you need is paint, blue, ribbon, buttons, and bottlecaps! See the full tutorial!
If you’re a snowman fan, here’s another alternative; make them from those wooden craft spoons, paint, and felt! They’re easy peasy and oh-so-cute! Plus, you can easily turn them into a wearable pin as well. See the full tutorial!
Here’s one more way to make an adorable snowman {or two or ten!} for your tree…buttons! See the tutorial here!
If you like traditional round ornaments, here’s a fun one made from sheet music, Mod Podge, and glitter! Use your favorite Christmas hymn, or opt for a book page instead! See the full tutorial.
