Are you starting to get your Christmas tree together and looking for the perfect Christmas ornaments? I will freely admit we haven’t even bought our tree yet! We know we have to start getting our house ready for the holidays, including getting all of our Christmas decorations and making the holidays as fun as possible for our entire family.
One of the things I always loved as a kid was having a fun, unique Christmas tree that included homemade ornaments—some things my mom made and others from various craft projects from us kids. To me, that is just part of Christmas—making fun projects and decorations. All of us kids had a variety of handmade Christmas ornaments, ranging from things we made as toddlers all the way up to complicated, hand-painted ornaments.
Now that I have my own family, I am trying to find ways to incorporate our own DIY Christmas ornaments. Of course, we have paw prints from the girls and ornaments from our own childhood. Since the majority of our tree, though, is glass ornaments, I would to create some gorgeous ornaments that include our preferred Christmas colors. Most importantly, they should be projects we can do together as a family, allowing us to create the perfect holiday experience with these ornaments.

I love homemade ornaments. I will get the kids to make me some of these.
That’s a cute idea. It’s also a good way to recycle items around the house.
The bottle cap snowmen are a really cute and easy idea for Christmas ornaments.
I am right on making some of these fine designs for my tree. I thank you for the innovative ideas, and wish your whole blog the best.
Such great homemade ornament ideas. Thanks for sharing, I am going to also share these with my mom.
These handmade ornaments are so cute. I love making them.
I’m thrilled that Poke’mon is back, and bigger than ever. We had a string of Poke’mon lights and used the plastic pokeballs that came with the toys from Burger King to decorate a little tree we have. We added plastic Poke’mon toys and had a Pikachu on top. That was over 17 years ago. The pokeball idea is cute, but I’d love to do the different types of balls, too.
I’m so glad I came across this article! I’ve been looking for something DIY to make for my Secret Santa and the Pokemon Ornament is so cute!
I need to make a bunch of the bottle cap snowmen to hang on my bottle cap windchime. That will make it holiday festive.
