These 25 fun DIY Christmas ornaments are the perfect homemade crafts to add to your holiday collection! Choose from a variety of styles to find what’s needed for you and your home this season.
There’s something so special about homemade DIY Christmas ornaments. When my husband and I first got married both of our mother’s gave us a collection of ornaments we’d made as children. Of course, they didn’t look the most beautiful or put together. They did, however, bring back feelings of nostalgia and spark some good memories.
I think that’s what I love about DIY Christmas ornaments. Each one tells a story and holds a personal touch. Time, energy and love has been hand-poured into each one. Maybe that’s why having a handmade home in general is so near and dear to my heart.
Homemade Christmas ornaments aren’t the only thing on my DIY list this year. I’ve got dried citrus I want to decorate with and holiday planters to display on the front porch. Check out these 5 Ways To Decorate With Dried Citrus if you’re curious. I’d also recommend this Budget Friendly Winter Window Box if you have your own to fill!
DIY Christmas ornaments may take some time and effort, but there’s nothing more satisfying than completing a project. Plus, what better way to enjoy your craftiness than by displaying it on a festive Christmas tree! So, take some extra time this year to dig out the arts and crafts box hiding in your closet. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
