I want to make Christmas Ornaments, but I can only find cheesy ones on the internet...?

Question

Does anyone have any sites or instructions for a cute, but not so easy a four year old could do it, ornament??

Thanks!

Answer 1

Take clear plastic ornaments. Open the top and lightly squeeze gold/red or green paint down the sides(thin layers all around). Sprinkle glitter in before the paint dries or Christmas confetti. Screw the top back on and hang on tree! Wa-La!

Answer 2

I did this last year for Christmas presents and everyone loved them. Get the clear ornament balls, take off the top and drop some flakes of fake snow. Take a little styrofoam ball (like the 1 to 2 inch ones, depending on how big the ornament is) and glue it to the opening of the ornament. The draw a snowman's face on, using a orange piece of wood (or I used the tines off a plastic fork) as the nose. Glue cute ribbon around his neck as a scarf. Fishing line or whatever can be used to actually hang the ornament on the tree. And, since I used them as gifts, I took a silver paint pen and wrote "Merry Christmas 2006" on the ball.

Answer 3

These ornaments are cute and they are what you put into them. If you want to dress them up more or less I think they would work both ways.

They are also nice because you can add your favorite holiday scent to the stuffing and really personalize them to your own preference.

I make cross-stitched ornaments. There are several small Christmas-themed designs, and 2-3 inch frames that you can mount them in. You can usually pick them up in bulk at craft and hobby shops. I've made them for a bazaar, to tie on gifts, and I have several on my tree at home.
