Sleigh Your Holiday Decor With These DIY Christmas Ornaments

Grab a pack of clear plastic or glass ornaments and fill them with fake snow, glitter, ribbons, or tiny pinecones. A drop of paint swirled inside gives a marbled look. It is quick, beautiful, and looks like something from a boutique.

Cut a cinnamon stick into a small trunk, then glue pieces of ribbon across it like branches, stacking them shorter as you go up. Add a little star on top. These smell amazing and look adorable tied to a gift or hung on the tree.

Made with flour, salt, and water, salt dough is easy to roll out and cut into shapes with cookie cutters, then bake until hardened. Once cooled, paint them, add glitter, or write names and dates. They become keepsakes that last for years, a great craft to do with kids.

Wrap a foam ball in wide ribbon, secure it with hot glue, and add decorative trim or small embellishments. Pick a color theme and make a few that match so the tree looks coordinated without losing its charm.

Cut out the prettiest parts of old holiday cards and frame them inside clear ornaments or Mod Podge them onto wooden discs, a sweet way to reuse cards with sentimental value.

DIY ornaments give a tree personality and create memories, since you remember when you made each piece.
