Ornaments Kids Can Make

By nballard

Christmas ornaments!! I know we all have memories of making ornaments as kids at Christmastime. I loved making ornaments when I was little. After all these years, there are certain handmade ornaments from my childhood that my mom still hangs on the tree. In fact, many families have a secondary tree dedicated to sentimental, handmade ornaments. What a great tradition!

I am going to show you an easy ornament to make with only a few supplies. It’s the snowflake twirl. My inspiration came from this ornament pinned on our LifeWay Kids Pinterest Board.

 

I think I’ll deviate from this ornament a bit. Let’s see what happens…

Second – Use the pencil to curl each strip.

 

glue curls 2.jpgThird – Glue the curled strips one at a time by stacking one on the other at the tip.

 

 

 

glue beads 2.jpgFourth – Glue the beads in the center. (I chose beads, but you may use sequins or glitter.)

 

 

 

Fifth – Attach the ribbon. I simply looped mine and taped it on the back.

Sixth – Hang your snowflake twirl!

See—it’s easy, and I allowed myself to get a little creative! Tell us your Christmas ornament ideas, traditions and memories!
