You’ll love making these DIY Christmas ornaments almost as much as you’ll love the memories they bring back year after year.

The magic of Christmas is in the memories. Everything from the food we eat to the traditions we carry out evokes memories from the past and creates new ones. Even the ornaments we hang on the tree can hold a special place in our tender little hearts. Making your own DIY Christmas ornaments can bring more meaning to your tree this year and will provide good memories for years to come.

Creating DIY Christmas Ornaments

Mentioning handmade Christmas ornaments can conjure up images of pinecone reindeer and painted plaster handprints hung with twine. While we deeply cherish every hand-painted popsicle stick creation that was lovingly brought home from school, we also love to make a Christmas tree craft that is a bit more sophisticated once in a while. Crafting for the holidays, whether you do it solo or with family and friends, can be a great way to bring a personal touch to your home. If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas ornament craft to tackle, we’ve got it right here.

Using the “Hang an Ornament” Set from Stampin’ Up!

Our new “Hang an Ornament” set is designed to help the skilled crafter make Christmas cards and keepsake DIY Christmas ornaments. The bundle comes with nine photopolymer stamps and 12 ornament dies. Cleverly engineered, the die “tears away” from the card so it’s attached when the receiver gets it, but they can pop it out and hang it on their tree as a reminder of your holiday wishes! 

This special card includes a keepsake Christmas ornament the recipient can hang on their tree. We love the hidden background sentiment on the card once the Christmas ornament is removed.

You can also make a whole bunch of Christmas cutout ornaments for your tree and to give away to friends and family. There are so many possibilities to use these, and you can let your imagination run free. 

Using the DIY Ornament Kit

Are you a new crafter? Pressed for time? We also offer a DIY ornament kit that comes with everything, including step-by-step instructions, to make a set of perfect handmade Christmas ornaments. You can keep the ornaments for your own tree or use them as gift tags or Christmas neighbor gifts. The kit is the perfect way to incorporate the joy of crafting for the holidays into your schedule without adding another item to your to-do list.
