DIY Easy Christmas Ornaments

Christmas trees are so fun to decorate! Every year, my family has a tradition of putting up the Christmas tree together. Remember, the ornaments made with your heart are better than the ones bought. These diy's can also be used as gifts. Here are some cute ideas on DIY ornaments!

Penguin Light Bulb

How to:

1. Paint the entire bulb black.
2. With white paint, brush it to form a pear shape on one side.
3. Use the black paint to create arms.
4. Paint a nose, eyes, and eyebrows with orange, black, and any color you want the eyes to be (You can also use a Sharpie!)
5. Draw on a little wreath and write in your name. Tada!

Reindeer Thumbprint

How to:

1. Dip your thumb into some brown paint and press it onto an ornament.
2. With a black Sharpie, draw on the eyes and the antlers.
3. Using a red Sharpie, make a little dot on the end for a nose! So cute and easy!

Cut Discs

How to:

1. Using cheap CD's, cut them all up into little shreds.
2. Glue the pieces down onto a clear ornament with the shiny side showing.

Reindeer Puzzle

2. Glue one of them on the back side and two more on the corners to create ears.

Melted Snowman

How to:

1. Fill a clear ornament with salt about one third of the way or as much as you like.

All of these ornaments are super easy and fun to create. They are all so cute and cheap to make. This would make a good craft to do with your family members and hang up on your tree or even gift to someone else!
