25 Homemade Christmas Ornaments
It’s the middle of September. That means that many people are already starting to create Christmas ornaments. Our Christmas tree is like many of yours: a mix of store bought ornaments and special ornaments made my family members throug the years. I have an aunt that has made the entire family amazing homemade Christmas ornaments every year for as long as I can remember. She has used saltdough, toilet paper, glass balls, wood, beads, pom poms, foam – basically every medium I can imagine.
I started out to make an ultimate list of homemade Christmas ornaments, but soon realized that this is a huge topic.

oh man! i want to do so many of these now! i will definitely do the baby’s first christmas sock ornament. wow,thank you for this! so many awesome ideas.
Love homemade ornaments…really like the seed bead ball idea too.
What a fantastic idea! I make handmade Christmas decorations and ornaments on occasion, but not every year. It would be a great goal to craft at least one for every Christmas!
Thanks for the great ideas. I still have my son’s baby socks so the sock ornament might make its way onto our tree.
Thank you for all the great ideas! I always find a tree trimmed with homemade ornaments much nicer looking. It adds just the right touch to a family Christmas tree and they can be passed down for generations!

Thanks Cheryl! I just added your picture of your beautiful button hearts! I never use other blogger’s images of their work. It’s yours – not mine. But when I get permission, I love bragging on what others create! Beautiful job!!!
I appreciate so much your “Blogging Friendly.”

thanks for sharing, I crochet some, my family tells me that I should start selling, but I’ve always just made things for family & friends
I have made these before, but we decorated the outside by putting the year on it, and on the inside a note with what we are most hoping will happen in the next year or some of your most favorite or important memories and events of the current year coming to a close. Then you can open it in years to come and have fun remembering all the things that happened or all the things you were wishing for in that particular year.
I am not the most creative person, but I love making Christmas Ornaments (thanks to Michaels Crafts Store!!) I love the holidays and love sending the ones the kids make as gifts. Never thought of seashells and I am in Florida! Thanks for the great idea.
Thanks for the list! I love crafty stuff.
Wonderful ideas…we have made the beads on a pipe cleaner ice cicles
Love these ideas x
Great craft idea! This would be great for my Brownie Troop!!! We are in the Ocean State.

great list. I really like the seashells and sand ornament, want to make some of those.
