With only a few days left until Christmas, I am back today with a Christmas themed post, because let's be honest, who doesn't like Christmas?!
I love everything about Christmas. The music, gift-giving, spending time with family, yummy food, but most importantly, the Christmas decorations.
Today I am gojng to show you how to make your very own DIY ornaments for the holidays. They make great gifts and add that extra bit of festive spirit to your Christmas Tree!
What you need:
1. Clear plasric or glass ornaments (I used plastic but both work. I got mine at Michaels.)
2. Mod podge (1 small bottle)
3. Your choice of glitter
4. Any other small Christmas decorations you would like for you ornament. (I went with a mini christmas-tree, holiday stickers, gift tags, and bows.)
5. Glue gun + hot glue stick
6. Ribbon
Let's get started!
Ornament 1: Glitter Ornament
Step 1
Begin by painting the inside of your ornament with mod podge. Quickly before it dries, sprinkle you choice of glitter onto to cover the mod podge. Make sure the inside of the ornament is fully coated with the glitter. The mod lodge will dry clear.
Step 2: close the ornament and give the ornament a shake to make sure the inside is fully coated. You may wish to do this process a few times to ensure that the glitter is vibrant and covers the ornament.
Now enjoy your DIY glitter ornament and hang it on your tree for everyone to enjoy! A little sparkle goes a long way :)
Ornament 2: Christmas Tree Ornament
Step 1: Take your ornament and glue gun your mini christmas tree to the bottom of one side. Let that dry completely before continuing.
Step 2: next take some white glitter and pour it in one side of the ornament. Then close the ornament and shake. It makes it look like a snowy Christmas scene.
Now enjoy your snowy christmas tree ornament!
Ornament 3: Happy Holidays Ornament
Step 1: This is another quick and easy ornament to make. I simply used some left over Christmas stickers I had and put them on the outside of the ornament. This one took me all of one minute but adds some festive spirit to my Christmas tree!
Get creative and decorate this ornament however you want!
Ornament 4: Joy ornament
Step 1: This ornament is super simple, but really cute! Start by putting your gift tag inside your ornament. I chose one that said Joy and it happened to fit perfectly inside my ornament. Close the ornament and tie a ribbon to hang on the tree.
Enjoy this simple, yet beautiful addition to your Christmas tree!
I hope you enjoy these DIY festive ornaments! Let me know if you re-create any of these!
Happy Holidays!
