I love decorating for Christmas, but usually don’t have the money to buy all the ornaments I want. Let’s face it, even at discount stores, filling your tree with ornaments can cost you an arm and a leg. So over the years, I’ve made dozens of easy DIY Christmas ornaments to fill my trees, and they didn’t cost much at all. I thought it was about time I shared all my DIY Christmas ornaments in one complete roundup. And to be honest, this post blew my mind because I never really noticed how many ornaments I made over the years!
Most of these affordable ornament projects can be completed in under an hour, and many are kid-friendly. That makes them perfect for a family craft night or a cozy solo project. For some of them, you don’t even need to buy supplies, and it doesn’t get better than that.
Here’s a quick example: Last year, I saw a set of six elegant, thin, velvet ribbon bows for sale for $25! What? That’s just ridiculous! I wrote a tutorial about how to make a bow with thin ribbon and ended up with 18 bow ornaments to cover my small tree for just under $10.
