5 Easy Christmas Tree Ornaments You'll Love

Adding a personal touch to your Christmas tree has never been a dull task. Use these simple DIY ideas to create your own Christmas ornaments.

I'm not sure whether you've seen one or two of these already, so I'll just put them in plain sight in front of you. These are my own tutorials, 4 from my 'sewing world', and one, the latest one, made out of air dry clay. I (we) had a blast making them, and ALL of these ornaments are now happily residing on our family Christmas tree. (The kids insisted we put it up already in November - and we love it!)

Check out the tutorials here:

And another idea on what you can use on your Christmas tree: it's soft ornaments for your Christmas tree made out of minky. I usually sew these as toys for toddlers and babies, but if you add a slightly longer ribbon to one side of the toy, you'll get a soft cuddly Christmas tree ornament. There's a free PDF sewing template you can use, too!

5) Air Dry Clay Christmas Ornaments

Conclusion

These ornaments are all over our place, and we love them. The best thing about these all? I NEVER need to worry they'd break when our toddler keeps rearranging them on the tree (she never gets tired of it, haha!)

These DIY Christmas Ornaments will have you saving money and get everyone smiling. Happiness doesn't have to cost a lot when it comes to these DIY Christmas home decorations for you and your family. Enjoy!
