Make Your Own Ornament

Making your own ornament is easy and simple. You can either use a ready to assemble kit (usually costs around $1) or have the supplies available for your child to make/design his or her own ornament. For the activity below, we used a ready-to-assemble kit. It was really easy, we added glitter as an after thought. You can place a picture of each child in the center to make it unique. 

To make your own ornament you just need to let your child take control and have fun decorating and adding details with the craft supplies. For your own ornament making, you will need:
  • Glitter
  • Fabric paint squeeze bottle (used under adult supervision!)
  • Sequins
  • Pom-poms
  • Liquid glue
  • Small pieces of string or yarn
  • Cardboard circles or squares (these are used if you need to make a hole in the center for inserting a picture)
  • Pre-cut felt shapes (based on your ornament theme; like snowflakes, penguins, circles, snowmen, stockings, gingerbread house, evergreen trees, stars, candy canes, etc.
