at craft stores, you can buy thin, almost paper like foam that you can trim into christmas shapes.
Using stencils (make them yourself on paper then trace them onto the foam and cut them out)
make a small hole in the top and tie string (gold or silver if you can find it) through it.....voila, ornament.
Or, using thin boxboard (like the boxes used to package frozen foods) cut out tree, snowflake, etc shapes.
get the appropriate colored yarn (or use flattened cotton balls for snowmen) and glue onto both sides of the boxboard until completely covered. tie with string at top to hang.
one more...buy feathers....really fine fluffy ones are best...glue three feathers (quill ends together in the sape of a cross)...use a fourth feather for the body if it's not wide enough. buy tiny styrofoam or wooden balls at the craft store and paint/draw a face on them. stick them onto the quills in the middle as a head. use silver/gold pipe cleaner or wire for halo....
have fun!

The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions.
Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more.

Look up beaded ornaments. Or you could get those clear ornaments and fill them with things. Or get some old action figures (like a green army man or a disney princess) and put a tiny eye hook in the top. Or buy some modeling clay and make little animals.

Like the prior answers, the lightweight foam! Check out www.orientaltrading.com - they have kits you can buy (they make 12 ornaments for around $5). Last year we decorated mittens, stockings, and gingerbread men. Since you might not have time to order and receive the kits before xmas, you can at least check them out and get some ideas. I know they sell the foam at WalMart. You can use cookie cutters to make your designs, then decorate.

Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.
