12 Homemade Christmas Ornaments

Looking for a new way to dress up your ornaments? Glass ornaments are the perfect canvas to create your own designer ornaments that do not cost a lot. Using leftover craft material or objects from around the house you can customize the look of your own glass ornaments. Involve the kids and fill the ornaments with their favorite things like bugs, beads, ribbon, old baby socks or even ticket stubs to a memorable event.

For the past two years we have provided various ways of decorating your own glass ornaments and we have collected our favorite ways all together in this post. Scroll below to be inspired and don’t forget to check out the FANTASTIC HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY at the bottom of the post.
