75 Easy DIY Christmas Ornaments That Make Great Gifts
What could be more fun than a Christmas crafternoon?
Chances are you have a big box of holiday ornaments that you use each year to decorate your tree—like vintage baubles you've collected from family members or even a lucky glass pickle. But, it's never too late to start a new Christmas tradition: Making DIY ornaments.
Crafting unique, homemade ornaments is a fun activity that everyone from toddlers and preschoolers to teens and full-grown adults can enjoy. Plus, it's a great excuse to stay in your comfiest matching pajamas, crank up the holiday music, and sip on some hot cocoa (or Christmas cocktails!). All you need to do is set aside an afternoon for your family to get together and round-up your supplies. Chances are you already have plenty around the house, like nail polish, beads, crayons, and pom-poms.
It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or more artistically-inclined, either. You can find DIY Christmas ornament ideas for every skill level. Younger children can make something easy, like a salt dough handprint or a craft stick photo frame they can paint and dump glitter on, while the experts can try an elegant DIY leather snowflake that's so Pinterest-worthy it could be sold or given as a gift.
To help you get started, here are dozens upon dozens of creative DIY Christmas ornaments and the tutorials you need for a crafternoon.
