How do I make homemade cooked X-mas ordaments?

Answer 1

Not sure what you mean by "cooked" ??
But here are a few ideas for homemade ornaments that DON'T require any cooking!LOL

*~DECO EGGS~*
VERY inexpensive to do...who can't afford a dozen eggs? AND you can use either white or brown eggs.
You can turn them into ornaments for your tree or just decorate them and use as decorations for centerpieces, wreaths...etc..
here's how:
1-wash eggs gently
2-using a straight pin, carefully poke a hole into both ends of the egg
3-empty out the egg: blow out the insides...this may take some huffing and puffing, but this is the only way to do it!
4-decorate the hollow shell by either painting or gluing on gems, beads, pearls, ribbon...whatever you'd like to use.(Be sure not to cover the holes)
5-to make the "hanger", use a standard (larger size)wire ornament hanger and straighten it out. You could also just use floral/craft wire. Insert it into the egg from the top and (you may have to "poke around" a little) pull it through the other end just enough to bend it up along the bottom of the shell to secure it.
6-Depending on how much of the hook or wire is still remaining at the top of the egg, you can either use that for the hook by re-bending it....or bend it into a loop and tie a thin ribbon around it for hanging.
7-glaze the egg w/a clear finish (shellac or even mod podge) to give the shell some endurance/strength and to keep you embellishments on.

This is an old cultural custom done in many countries (like Germany) for Christmas and Easter. Depending on how "artsy" you are, they can even make great gifts due to their uniqueness


*~DRUMMER BOY DRUMS~*
These are way cute when done and fun to have kids help with!
1- using empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls, cut them into 1 1/2 - 2" sections.
2- using felt (or even construction paper or other fabric) in your color choice, cut these into strips that are 1" wider than your tube sections...and long enough to wrap around w/an overlap for gluing.
3- place fabric around tube leaving enough overhang on the sides to fold over inside the tube and glue with either elmers or hot glue.
4-cut a section of string/yarn/ribbon long enough to make a loop for the hanger. Slip one end into the "seam" of the overlapping fabric going down the side of the drum, making sure that it is more toward what the top of your drum will be. Glue the overlap to fasten and secure.
5-cut pieces of either index cards or some other stiff white "cardboard" material in a circular shape, sized to fit just inside the tube as the drum head.(It helps to trace these out by tracing from the INSIDE of the tube BEFORE putting on the felt.)
6-use gold trim fabric/yarn/ribbon or even glitter glue and trim in way to look like the rims and zig-zag cross beams on the outside of a drum.
7-take 2 toothpicks and you can either leave them as they are or color/paint them black or brown. I used matchsticks one year, but to eliminate the possibility of flammability, I rubbed baby oil into the match tips.
Glue these in a criss-cross fashion across the drum head as the drumsticks.
WHA-LAH!

I also make custom wood-burnt ornaments in a variety of shapes and designs..which I actually sell at craft shows, personalized with names/dates/greetings of choice

Answer 2

Making Cinnamon Christmas-Tree Ornaments
Makes about 10 ornaments

1 1/2 cups ground cinnamon
1 cup store-bought applesauce
1/4 cup white school glue, such as Sobo
Cookie cutters
Beads, for decorating
Dragées, for decorating
Shimmerz glue, or regular white glue
Ribbon, for hanging

1. Using a rubber spatula, combine cinnamon, applesauce, and glue in a small bowl. If the dough is too stiff, add a bit of water, but be careful because too much moisture will ruin the recipe.

2. Remove mixture from bowl, and knead dough 5 to 10 minutes. Place dough back in bowl. Let stand, 30 to 45 minutes.

3. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thick and punch with cookie cutters, kneading and rolling out dough after each cutting. Punch out cookies until dough runs out. Using a drinking straw, punch a hole at one end of the wet ornament; don’t punch too close to the edge or it may break.

4. Place each ornament on a wire rack covered with paper towel. Flip ornaments occasionally to ensure uniform flatness. Let them dry about two days, or until the center is dry. You can also bake the ornaments in the oven at 200° for 2 hours or more, depending on thickness of ornament. If drying them in the oven, put them on a rack, but don’t line it with paper towel.

5. When the ornaments are completely dry, sand the rough edges with a small piece of sandpaper to rid them of any unevenness. Wipe the edges with a damp sponge brush to get rid of any discoloration.

6. Decorate ornaments using Shimmerz glue, beads, dragées, etc. Let the ornaments dry for at least an hour.

7. Cut a piece of ribbon measuring about 6 inches long. String the ribbon through the hole in the ornament, and knot. Hang ornament on a tree.

Answer 3

To make salt dough ornaments you will need: 2 cups flour,
1 cup salt, and 1cup water. Mix ingredients(I use my hands, its
easier that way). Shape dough into desired shapes and place
on a cookie sheet lined with Reynolds Wrap foil. To make it
easier, shape dough directly on the pan. To make parts stick
together wet the parts the are to joined. You can tint dough with
food coloring. Bake in a pre-heated oven @ 275% until no longer
moist. Cool and paint in desired colors. Coat with clear resin.

Answer 4

Using dough is one of the simplest - and cheapest - ways to make your own ornaments. I found several different recipes and have notated them below. I've also included a link to makes 32 two-inch wonderful smelling, completely inedible ornaments.

Felt ornaments are easy and inexpensive to make as well, if you wanna try something different. Below are some additional links on how to make marvelous hand painted ornaments with clear glass balls, paper ornaments & egg shell ornaments too, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have small children.

Answer 5

Make domicile made cookies, candy and placed it on a 99C platter wrap up Christmas ornament that represents the guy (ex: if the guy likes music perhaps placed his/her photograph on a music notice ornament) take a glance around the craft save, perhaps you're able to make a pillow or some thing ornamental which could be hung. solid success!
