You can’t celebrate the holidays without themed decorations. How else will you show your holiday spirit? But you don’t need to go out to the store and pick up your festive additions. There are many DIY Christmas decorations out there you can do with the whole family, including Christmas tree ornaments.

Homemade Christmas ornaments also make a great gift for the upcoming holidays. Below we discuss the 31 top handmade ornaments you can make for this festive season.

No matter your skill level, these easy DIY ornaments are the perfect activity for Christmas time.

31 DIY Christmas Ornaments

Last year I had so much fun with my whole family making new ornaments for the Christmas tree.  We spent the afternoon painting and glittering, and everyone got to make their own unique ornament with their name and hand prints on it.  

Plus, this is a fun way to make a special keepsake for your younger children and family members.

It was too fun with the kids, all different ages, older ones helping the younger ones. The best part is that you can also do some special ornaments and Christmas crafts with your furry friends, and they just take a few easy steps.

It was just a nice family time that they will remember for a long time to come, hopefully.

Plus, DIY ornaments make great holiday gifts. They are such thoughtful gifts since you can give them a personalized touch or add a special message. They’re always a big hit!

You can get any easy Christmas ornaments supplies at your local craft stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby stores or your local dollar store like Dollar Tree.

Each final product turned out so well. Every cute ornament had their own personal touch. Our handmade Christmas ornaments were the only ornaments we used, and this year we’ll have a new grandbaby by Christmas, so we’ll get to add a new one to the tree!

      Good for you, they will look back fondly on the time you spent with them.
