101 Handmade Ornament Tutorials

Get ready for the holidays with handmade ornaments!

There’s something about handmade ornaments that really make me smile.  I made ornaments every year with my mom as a child and creating this list reminded me of some of those classic ornaments.  She still has some of them to hang on her tree!  Have you ever made a quilted ornament without sewing?  Those were some of my favorites!  Salt dough ornaments are always sweet, but some of the ornaments on this list will amaze you!

Top your gifts with glitter cookie cutters,  make yarn wreaths with your children, add a favorite photo to a felt Polaroid ornament for your best friend…I could go on and on.

There are a million ways to use these and they are all quick projects.  Am I the only one with a short attention span?  I love ornaments!

    Hello, My name is Elizabeth of Creative Breathing. I have only just discovered today that this site has visited mine more than anyone else. I don’t know why this is as I don’t sell anything. I do love Etsy though and support many of it’s patrons. I am honored that you even know of me. What a fun surprise!
